[AT] Kubota BX1500

[DEL SCHRAM]

2x the injection pump. When it will not start hot, pour cold water on the injection pump and see if it starts. That is sign of a worn out pump. Good luck

I’m talking towing trailers up the mountain in the summer kind of hot.   The truck would not start without resting for a good 10 to 20 minutes. I did finally diagnose it:  The solenoid was fine but the the actuator would get stuck when the engine was at top operating temp. Only happened like three or four times.

If I remember correctly, the "at rest" position of the solenoid is "engine off". when you turn the key to start it, the solenoid moves to the "engine run" position. I'm guessing the solenoid works when cold but doesn't have enough grunt to reopen when hot.
