Kohler 8kw EOZ question on auto shutdown feature.

I have a 8eoz Diesel w/ 1700 hrs from year 2000 and it shuts down when start button is released. The fuel solenoid will pop out immediately after releasing the start button to shut her down. If i remove the fuel solenoid she will run for about 10 seconds b4 she shuts down again sometimes longer. I am not getting 120v at the breaker at all which leads me to belive that is why the fuel solenoid tries to stop the engine. So since I have removed the fule solenoid and by passed the 3 sensors (OP, Temp, Water) i know this is shutting down bc it is not making 120v so it looks like i have an issue with the backend which I will be taking off soon.

My question is this. How is this unit shutting down if the fuel solenoid is disconnected? I am guessing the control board signals something to shut it down but if the fuel solenoid is off how does it shut down? Does it starve it from air somewhere?

Not knowing this is really bothering me so if anyone can explain that would be great as it is really confusing me. lol.

thanks
 
making duplicate posts on separate forum pages for the same problem is frowned upon....

I'd suggest sticking with the original post....
