Timberwolf 150 cutting out

[Horatio]

My timberwolf 150 has recently been playing silly buggers.

Start up fine

Always leave it running for 10 mins

Once on full revs start the rollers

Chip couple of branches, then the whole chipper cuts out!

 

 

No fading out no warning.

 

Start her back up and it's fine, normally for the rest of the day.

Has a couple of times cut out later in the day.

 

Have checked oil and water. Both topped up. Radiator is cleaned out regularly with an airline.

In line fuel filter and main filter are clear.

 

Any ideas/diagnosis would be gratefully received.

Cheers

Had this once on a Jensen and it was just a lose battery terminal ...

Could also be a faulty micro switch on the engine cover ?

Do they have one ?

Ignition switch backing off slightly to off.

Ditto, worn ignition switch vibrating back to off

Had a look in to that, wd40 and a watchful eye and all seems well.

Thinking maybe the oil pressure sensor.

Might disconnect it in tut morning and see what occurs.

Nail on the head fella . Same thing happened to mine

Thanks White Noise, can you remember how much the oil pressure switch was? Well, was grinding all day so no time to unwire the oil pressure switch, grinding tomorrow to but worse come to worse I will have a project over Christmas.

 

If anyone else has anything to add or other things to check I am all ears!

Hi have you tryed the alternator I once had 1 on a green mech which was faulty so soon as it stoped charging the battery it would cut out even tho the battery was fully charged! Start it back up and it would run until it did it again trial and error
