so she cranks but wont fire! I found she isn't getting fuel because after some testing without luck I finally decided to put gasoline on a rag and cover the intake with it and she fired right up. This tells me it is getting everything but fuel. I noticed I wasn't hearing the click as usual from the fuel solenoid I replaced it and still nothing. so I tested the old one now that it was out and it works also smh. I tested the wires and it isn't getting voltage. I figured I would check the fuses and relays, not knowing which one was for the fuel solenoid I noticed the entire panel looks dirty and dusty as you can imagine because the panel was loose and the cover is missing. I cleaned everything off with electrical cleaner, and put dielectric grease on all fuses and relays as I did once before. except for this time after I cleaned everything up the tractor didn't fire right up like it did once before by doing this; without replacing a single thing! I had just cleaned everything up and bolted the panel back down. I still don't have a cover though. This led me to believe this was the issue again but it wasn't. I did notice a wire coming off the starter that was thicker then the rest and it is getting really hot! like extremely hot. idk if this unit has a thermistor but I've searched without any luck on finding the location or even a part. What I did do is order the (LVA11884 Electronic Fuel solenoid Timer Control Module) I hope that this is in the right direction. In the mean time id like to find out why that positive wire is getting so hot! I plan on checking grounds again and possibly taking all the wires off the starter and cleaning everything up. if anyone has any opinions or has gone through a similar situation your help would be greatly appreciated. This backhoe is currently on a job site and not operational.
