If the machine will start, but won't stay running, I'd look and see if the machine has a low oil cut off and start trouble shooting there. Most diesels on heavy equipment are pretty much idiot proof ( at least the older ones...) If it gets air, fuel and cranks, it runs. At that point it doesn't need any electricity, unlike a gas engine. The electric only kills the engine by shutting down the fuel, unlike a gas engine where you ground out the spark plugs or turn off the electric to the ignition system.

my post is not showing everything the machine has power at the battery and starter but no power anywhere else checked all the fuses I mean I took every cover off there are two under the engine and two in front just before the upper ecm board is there anything anywhere else ? I cant even find a burnt wire did smell something for a few seconds then everything went dead there is no power at the switch and for the gentalman telling me to buy a lincoln I have a 305g ln 25 sp170t miller acdc tig grinders torches bandsaws chopsaws full service truck more tools that I can list and a c-50 if you even know what that means also the low oil and high heat switch?
