[QUOTE="Sole Hill Farm, post: 8151325, member: 169672"] Hi all and apologies asking for help in my first post! I have a 2003 (53) Manitou MLA 628 that I bought off of a friend on Friday (20.05.22) that has suddenly started cutting out - randomly. She was absolutely fine for the 5/6 mile drive home & fine for the first day of work but then today the engine cut-out as I was lifting a small Conquip autolock skip... at first I just thought she had stalled due to the load and being at near idle (1k rpm) but upon reflection I was using her at near idle for most of the day before without issue and, let's be honest, a small skip of horse manure isn't a massive amount of weight. If I may add she started up instantly - as if nothing had happened & when she cut out the ignition lights ect all stayed on, dash wise. She was then fine for several hours after but then cut out as I was travelling down the, bumpy, drive in 2nd at around 1800 - 2000rpm (no hydraulics in use), again, I put her in neutral, turned the key and she started up immediately. She then decided to cut out when she was just sat idling in neutral about 2-3 minutes later. Again she started absolutely fine and immediately. I then drove her down the main road 4th gear between 2 - 2500rpm for a few miles without issue & back up our drive, 2nd gear 1800-2000rpm without issue. While she was running I wiggled the ignition key, the battery isolator switch and the wires to the stop solenoid but she didn't die! I'm rather tempted to put a new stop solenoid on her but just wanted to humbly ask if any experts on here could tell me of any known issues that could cause this? There are a few other little things that don't feel quite right to me (hydraulic input/calibration related) but I don't want to start on with a mahooosive thread, yet! I'll also just state that I've known of this machine (and used her a few times) for the past 10-12years to-which she has been nothing but brilliant - I must admit I feel a little deflated as buying her was a big deal for us (financially and mentally) after battling probate and managing to turn this farm around in to being profitable... this was supposed to be a bit of a nice moment - as sad as that sounds, considering it's still just a 20year old machine!! Any help would be much appreciated & I hope you're all having a good day! Martyn. [/QUOTE]
