I’ve got an 86 1845C it’s been an awesome machine. Anyway I plowed with it three days ago no issues. I went to use it yesterday and it started right up 27 degrees out. I did have it plugged into block heater for maybe 1.5 hours before hand. It ran for maybe 10 seconds at idle and I went to drop the first lap bar and as I did it stalled. I think the lap bar was coincidence not root cause but figured I’d mention it. It didn’t spit or sputter or anything it more stopped like I had shut off the key. I went to start it back up and it will crank but doesn’t even try to start. I haven’t done any trouble shooting yet, I have my wife’s car already taken all apart and I need to get that going before I can work on the skid steer. My gut would be fuel shut off solenoid but I haven’t started to investigate that yet, just curious if anyone else has any ideas before I go down that path. I did notice that with the key left in the on position I can hear a relay click up in the warning light cluster it clicks about every 4-5 seconds. I don’t know if it normally does this I very rarely just leave the key on it’s either off or I am starting it and once it’s running you certainly aren’t hearing any relays clicking. I know if I pull out that dash light unit/gauge cluster there’s nothing on the backside it’s all smooth except a single plug for a wire harness. I have never tried to open it up to service anything inside of it but it doesn’t look super easy to split apart without breaking.
