Ct 230 won't stay running

I have 2011, 12 bobcat ct230 that starts, runs for a short time and then the fuel solenoid kicks out. The solenoid is new and I've checked all the relays and fuses.

With only that to work on, I suspect a bad ground. Check that your battery's negative cable connections are clean. If it's not grounded to the engine block, make it so.

Fuel solenoid is what kills it when you turn the key off. I would sort of suspect one of the safety switches. Does it crank back up after dying?

I checked safety switches and the ground is at the battery. It's gotta be something simple I'm missing.

You check the seat presence switch? Kills the engine when you lift up a bit. Might need to put a jumper on it.

Yep, I put a bypass jumper wire on it when I first got it, never been a problem. Did try reconnecting it and sitting in the seat. Either way has no affect.

I can take the solenoid out and run it all day, I just can't shut it off with the key then. All other lights and gauges work as normal.

Asking again, does it crank right back up after dying or what is the time involved before cranking again?

 

[firewood cutter]

Yep it will start right back up after I turn the key off and the solenoid resets, about 10 seconds.

I also took the 2 screws out that hold the fuse panel in place and looked for a broken wire or exposed bare wire, that all looks good.
