12ht real time help (1 Viewer)

My 12ht will not shutdown using the ignition. I do the manual shut off chocking it. Is it possible to fix the electric selonoid (don’t really know what it is called) or how do I bypass the selonoid and continue with the manual shut off chocking. I am currently in Guinea West Africa in a village. Not that easy to find an electrician. Thank you

It’s a vacuum setup. Check to make sure your vacuum hose is connected and not cracked or fallen off.

Worst case you could always rig a small electric wire into the can as a pull chain to choke it off that way

I have checked all the hose. I have disconnected the hose, when they are connected the engine shuts down

I have disconnected the vacuum hose to the fuel shut off valve. Is there a temporary fix while I am on the road? Is there an up dated version of the fuel shut off valve for the 12 ht engine. Where can I source one. Thanks

Will the engine start with hose connected?
If that’s the case, then the VSV solenoid that triggers that is either broken or failing.

Also bypassing that someone did on here:

Yes the engine start but then it will shut down. Thx for the info I will look at it over. I don’t think it is something I can do while on this travel. Thx
