Hi Guys, I have a bobcat B100 31.5hp turbo diesel.

Recently the fuel pump went bad and $103 to bobcat and about an hours work a new fuel pump was in place and the little tractor burst into life.

As I had the floor panels and dashboard taken apart I figured it was time for a service and wash down.. So I drove it about 200 yards to my driveway where I could work on it.. Changed the oil and filter... Degreased everything and gave it a good power washing (it really needed it). Greased everything up and put floor panels and dashboard back together..

So now the problem....

When I turn the ignition to glow plugs they come on just fine, the time works, the light goes out and I turn the key the rest of the way, the engine bursts into life. However when I return the key to the run position the engine just shuts down.. I don't think its the ignition itself as I replaced it about a year ago. So it has to be a wire someone where, I did power wash the engine, but nothing looks loose or damaged. Has anyone seen anything like this or have any ideas?

Thanks
John
