You will need to work through these possibility's one at a time to prove and eliminate them till you get to the "one" that is causing each of your 2 problems. To eliminate the safety circuit jump the top starter terminal to the rear small terminal, and "be sure it is in Park first",if nothing happens see if you have any battery power to the starter, a Hillbilly way of checking this is shorting a large screw driver from the top terminal of the starter to the engine block, Be careful again if it has any power it will be like a welder arcing,,if nothing yet prove you battery and connections. When you are on top of the re-start issue and it will not start with the motor turning strong, Then see if you have fuel at the injection pump inlet. [Reply]   [No Email]

Ran it for over an hour, then turned the key off and tried to refire, nothing happened. Refired it the hillbilly way. Would a relay getting heated up or going bad cause this problem. After the tractor sits an hour or so, it starts like a new one. Thanks again for yalls input. [Reply]  [No Email]

Just kinda curious about it... [Reply]  [No Email]

This is actually a 4400 instead of a 4430. Sorry for the confusion, Does this better explain the way this things acting and and possible solutition. Thanks again. [Reply]  [No Email]

You are correct your tractors fuel is controlled by an elect solenoid. [Reply]  [No Email]

The fuel shut off solenoid is a trouble spot for a 4400 they get oil on the back side of the shut off plunger and causes problems like you have...you will need to change out the shut off solenoid..

They've been know to loose their ground or battery connection. On the fuel part of problem you need to check that you have "good fuel flow" from tank to inj pump. [Reply]  [No Email]
