Help! I am baffled. I have a 2004 Monk 36 with a Cummins 6BTA-5.9-M3 SWAC 330 HP, 2788 hours. It’s been pretty much flawless.
In October I left Maine for warmer winter climates. Five weeks later after a slowish trip (cruise 1800-2000 RPM) of 162 hours, I reached Charleston, SC. A couple days ago, when I started the engine and readied to weigh anchor, engine stopped very quickly, no run on. Started right away when I hit the start. Few minutes later it stopped again (I watch the solenoid shut off). Started up right away. Once under way it ran fine. This has happened a couple times. I’ve tested this at the dock – same thing.
Fresh Racor and on engine fuel filters, no obvious things amiss. Checked the wiring – all looking fine.
What are your thoughts, oh Sage? Solenoid going?
Thank you for your help.
