Went over tonight to work on a combine that the owner believed ran out of fuel. He had been trying to bleed it, had plenty of fuel to the pump but none out of it. First thing I checked was power to the shut off solenoid, has power. Checked the solenoid itself, toast. This is on an IH 1440 combine with a D414 and Ambac pump. Take the solenoid out, see if the combine runs, it takes right off, runs a bit rough. It turns out, it had run out of fuel, as well as the shut off solenoid burned up. He had already put 10 gal of fuel in it and pretty much had it bled out, but still couldn't figure out why it wouldn't run, and that's when he called me. So, apparently he had that bad of luck that it ran out of fuel and burned up the shut off solenoid at near the same time. He was letting it run to charge up the batteries and get things moving before he moved it out of the way of his implements. Anyway, I call the local IH dealer, and that solenoid alone is $1100! Ridiculous. But the solenoid has an Ambac part no, and above it, a Lisk part no. So I Google the Lisk part no. and it is a reasonable (not) $647. Turns out, GW Lisk company makes the shut off solenoid for IH, Ambac, what have you. Then IH marks it up to $1100, a mere profit. Pretty expensive for such a common device.
