I haven't cranked the DK55 in months but I did get it cranked. It ran for 40 mins or so will I did a few things but once I shut it down it won't crank back up.

If I hold the key on it stays on put it acts like it may not be getting gas. Any hints on what to try.

Thanks

Need more details. It is a diesel isnt it? Did you shut it down or did it stall? Is it a standard Trans? I would try all of the safteys first seat switch, nuetral switch, PTO switch etc.

It is a diesel. I shut it down. A standard trans.

Update: Actually Dex, I got it cranked again. I had to hold the key just right, so it seems to be ignition related. Then I saw another thread about spraying brake fluid and then a lubricant in the ignition switch and now that seems to be fixed.

Thanks for the quick feedback.

Glad you got it going, nothing ruins your day like your machine being down.
