	One of the possibilities is that there was no power with which the panel could operate. There are others, and they cannot be seen from here. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	Check the control panel, that seems like the most likely location of the problem (component failure, protective device operating, components need a clean, etc). __________________ jack of all trades

	If it is cummins engine there is a solenoid operated valve in the pump. This opens up during starting. Operates on 24 volts supply from battery. If there is any fault like low lub oil pressure or high engine water temperature or over speed. The supply to the solenoid will be cut off and engine will not run You have to check the wiring and the sensors. May be sensors would have operated . __________________ Ramesh,Freelance Electrical/automation Consultant
