What to do if Miller Trailblazer 300D NT Welding System engine starts but stops in Run position?
- Z
  Zachary JohnsonSep 7, 2025
  If the engine of your Miller Welding System starts but stops when the Engine Control switch returns to the Run position, consider the following: * Check the oil level, as the engine will not start if oil pressure is too low. * Check the coolant level and fan belt, as the engine will not start if the engine temperature is too high. * Check and refill the crankcase with proper viscosity oil for the operating temperature, if necessary. * If the problem remains, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the low oil pressure shutdown switch S5 and engine temperature switch S7.
