Ford 1220
Hello. First time poster on here. I have a little Ford 1220 4x4 w/ loader. It will start up fine the first time and run for as long as you want but when you shut it off, it doesn't start again until it sits for a long time. Where should I start? Any help is much appreciated.

When you say "...it doesn't start again....", do you mean the starter wont turn the engine over OR the starter does turn the engine but it won't start and run? The former is a problem with the starter electrical system and the later may be a problem with the fuel delivery system. You have to be more specific on these forums to get help because most of us are not mind readers.

Sorry about that. The starter does turn the engine over but it will not start and run.

If you can't hear the fuel solenoid open (click) when you turn the key, the solenoid, or more likely, the 'open' signal to the solenoid may be weak. One way to check is to put 12V on the fuel solenoid (using Powerpack or jumber cables) and try to crank.
