What to do if Wacker Neuson RTLx-SC3 engine starts, then stops?
- G
  George WalkerAug 20, 2025
  If your Wacker Neuson Construction Equipment engine starts and then stops, it could be due to several reasons. Check if the fuel tank is empty and fill it with No. 2 diesel fuel, priming the fuel lines. A restricted or clogged fuel filter can also cause this issue, so replace the fuel filter if necessary. Inspect the fuel lines for any breaks or looseness; tighten, repair, or replace them as needed. Additionally, ensure the machine is within the infra-red range of the transmitter. If the transmitter is automatically powering off due to inactivity, turn it back on.
