I started my 1972 Ford Lehman (Simms fuel pump) today after the winter layup. As usual it started in seconds and ran with no problems at the dock.
After 30 minutes I pushed the stop button and nothing happened, the engine just kept running at idle.
I checked the stop solenoid and it was operating with each push of the stop button and I even pushed the solenoid in by hand and the engine still kept running at idle.
I closed the fuel shut off taps at my primary fuel filters and after a few minutes the engine stopped.
I started the engine again and had the same problem.
Does anybody have any ideas? your advice would be most welcome.
Thank you
Roger
