    Takeuchi TL 150/ CLT 80 Heater Air/ Glow Plug Issues

    I have a Gehl CTL 80 that was having electrical issues so I bypassed all the electronics and made a manual fuel stop solenoid that I can kill the machine with. Since this happened, I am having issues with starting my machine, however if I give it a shot of starting fluid and it will start right...

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    I just wanted to give you an update on my machine. I cleaned the whole fuel system again last Friday. I took off the fuel water separator and put it in my ultrasonic cleaner and blew out all the lines. The fuel water separator had a bunch of white crusty build up that came out of it. Once I put...

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    I just changed out the fuel pump and that didn't do it... So I guess I'm still leading towards an electrical issue...

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    If there is no way to kill the machine electronically if the fuel cutoff solenoid is not in, could it possibly be the lift pump? I was thinking about plumbing in a pressure gauge on the out going side of the lift pump to determine the pressure that the lift pump is putting out. Does anyone know...

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    All the fluid levels are good and the coolant sensor is bypassed. No other lights are blinking other than the battery light. I was getting very frustrated with this and need to get some projects done so I cut the end right off the fuel cut off solenoid so that could not kill the machine. I...

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    Ok I think I will do this instead, sounds a lot easier than fabricating a manual on/off. I'm just not that good with electrical stuff. This seems easy enough to do though. Thanks!

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    Ok thanks! I think I am just going to modify the fuel cut off solenoid and run a manual choke cable back to it to bypass the the relays and issues I am having. This is my personal machine so I am the only operator. I keep a close eye fluid levels and gauges when I am using it so I don't think...

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    I've been doing a little more research and wanted to run this by you guys. I found a forum that a guy used a mechanical plunger for the fuel shutoff solenoid and ran a cable into the cab to eliminate all his issues on his Mustang MTL 16. I was wondering if this is possible or if anyone has...

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    I took the alternator into an Alternator Shop a couple days and they said everything looked good in it. They took it apart and cleaned the brushes. I will look into the two wires that plug into the back of the alternator. Does anyone know where these run to? All the way up to a relay?

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    Last week, I pulled the fuel shutoff solenoid out and it would start right back up. So I guess I am unsure of what is causing the fuel shutoff solenoid to turn off the machine.

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    I just drained the whole tank and cleaned the fuel line outlet, I blew out the fuel line going back to the tank as well. There was a lot of debris, rubber and dirt in the tank. I went out ran it for 45 minutes and the machine died again. Battery light is still flashing. I am pretty sure this...

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    Ok, I changed all the filters and water separator. I will dig into the fuel system a little more. Thanks! Will the battery light flashing not kill the machine then if there is not a problem with the alternator or battery?

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    The fuel shut off solenoid is brand new. I guess it doesn't bog down, just stutters like it is losing all power before it dies completely.You then have to let the machine sit for a couple hours before it will start up again.

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    So I took my alternator to get tested, it is good. I checked all connections, they are good. I re-soldered all the larger relays where there were cold cracks. All the other relays are new. Installed a new ignition. The machine starts and runs good for about 5-10 minutes now. The battery light...

    1991 Fiat Allis FL7B Losing Transmission Pressure

    I have a Fiat Allis FL7B that has 3,000 hours. When idling at about 2500 rpm the transmission pressure stays right below the green mark on the gauge. When idling at a lower rpm the pressure is in the red. When you change gears the pressure jumps up to the green, but goes right back down to the...

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    I do not see an electrolyte sensor on my machine. At rest the battery is at about 12.5V; when the machine is running the battery is at about 13.9V. I found one wire that the insulation was wore off under the control panel. I spliced in a piece of wire and the battery light is still flashing.

    Can anyone explain what wires to cut and where they are from this forum?

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    I just got back from the store and the machine fired right up again. I got it back in the garage so will do some more trouble shooting tomorrow. Thanks for the help skata and heymccall! I will look into those things tomorrow and keep you guys posted.

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    Thanks for input so far guys! So I got the machine back running. I bought an aftermarket fuel shutoff solenoid and the plunger was a little bit longer than the one in the machine. I took a grinder and ground about 1/16" off of it and it fired right up. As soon as I started it up the battery...

    Takeuchi TL150/Gehl CTL 80 won't start/fuel shutoff solenoid issue

    I have a Gehl CTL80 that I am having issues with. The battery light was flashing and would shut down the machine anywhere from 5 minutes of use to 45 minutes of use. I put a new alternator in and battery, but the battery light still flashes. I am still trouble shooting the machine and now it...
