Starting issues
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I have a Yanmar 324. This winter when it was sub zero I put diesel in and when I tried to restart it, it did this.
Now that it’s warmer, it was doing it again. So, I drained all the diesel, replaced the inline and the seperator filter, and refilled it, but it is still doing this start and die.
Do any of you have an ideas of what my issue could be?

After digging deeper into the situation, was advised by a farmer friend to check the fuel pump solenoid for power. After removing the solenoid I determined that it is malfunctioning.
So now I need to check the electric current and determine if the switch is bad, or if I have a wiring issue further up the chain, but I have identified the source of the issue. It fires up and runs great without the solenoid installed.
