If the engine on a Kubota GR1600EC does not turn off despite the solenoid being functional and the timer relay being replaced, possible causes could include:
1. Faulty Wiring or Connections – Check for damaged or loose wiring between the timer relay, solenoid, and ignition switch. 2. Ignition Switch Malfunction – A defective ignition switch may not be sending the correct signal to stop the engine. 3. Grounding Issue – Poor grounding can prevent the stop solenoid from functioning correctly. Ensure all ground connections are clean and secure. 4. Fuel Shutoff Mechanism Failure – If the solenoid is not cutting off fuel properly, inspect the fuel shutoff system for blockages or mechanical failure.
Verifying these components should help identify the issue.

Questions and answers
ENGINE WONT TURN OFF,SAFETY SWITCHES NON FUNCTIONALsOLENOID OK ,TIMER RELAY REPLACED ALL TO NO AVAIL
If the engine on a Kubota GR1600EC does not turn off despite the solenoid being functional and the timer relay being replaced, possible causes could include:
1. Faulty Wiring or Connections – Check for damaged or loose wiring between the timer relay, solenoid, and ignition switch.
2. Ignition Switch Malfunction – A defective ignition switch may not be sending the correct signal to stop the engine.
3. Grounding Issue – Poor grounding can prevent the stop solenoid from functioning correctly. Ensure all ground connections are clean and secure.
4. Fuel Shutoff Mechanism Failure – If the solenoid is not cutting off fuel properly, inspect the fuel shutoff system for blockages or mechanical failure.
Verifying these components should help identify the issue.
