L3830 Starting/Running Issue

[clvickers]

I've had some issues in the past with my L3830 where I would get up on her and try to start her. When I turned the Key the engine would turn over but wouldn't stay running <I was hearing a click when I turn the key and another click when it shut down as soon as I let go of the key>. The throttle was pulled all the way back slow when this would happen. If I increased the throttle, then hit the key, the engine start up and run.

Jump forward to tonight. Started tractor and picked up a bale of hay and started backing out of the shed. Heard a click and tractor shut down. Restarted fine, moving again, and Click again... Shut down. It did it one more time before I got it back into the shed.

anyone else see this before???

I'm wondering if this is the OPC Relay switch that "awhite" was having back in 09..

To make a difference in the throttle position as to if it would run or not I think the fuel shut off is not activating properly. I'd check the wiring and see if anything is loose first and clean the connections if needed.
