I have a 331 s/n 232511798 with a Kubota V2203-E engine. The temperature gauge rapidly rises from cold to hot and then the motor shuts down. I know this is not an actual overheating problem because this will happen with the engine cold and barely warm by the time it shuts down. Does anyone...

I bench tested the circle latch solenoid and it seemed strong, but it doesn't open the latch. I should have jiggled the circle control and it would have popped up. The problem is that the teeth on the latch are tapered and with load, grease and vibration they pop up out of the circle teeth...

Installing an oil pressure sender on an Isuzu diesel generator to interface with a controller. To do this I have to replace the oil pressure switch with the sender. The controller can shut the engine down for either the switch or the sender signal. Or I could have a belt and suspenders by...
