My 3000 will start right off but as soon as the key switch is released from the start position to the run position it shuts off. If left in the start position it continues to crank and run. I removed the sediment bowl and cleaned it and the filter, there was gas there and it starts off right away every time so I'm leaning more towards an electrical issue than gas.
I have 12 volts at the key switch terminal that goes to the ignition coil and 12 volts were it connects to the ignition coil. That wire is in rough shape so I tried bypassing it with a new wire which when tested overheated the wire and connector. It seems there may be some kind of resistor build into the wire (that is not shown in the wiring diagram) so I have out it back the way it was and have still have the original problem.
Related or coincidence? The stinger shaft for the front mounted hydraulic pump broke over the weekend so I had to remove the hood, grill, and radiator to replace it. After that job was completed the tractor started right up and test ran with no issue. It sat for 2 days and developed this problem.
I'm thinking possibly a bar ignition coil, but I'm no mechanic so any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
