   We have one that in warm weather after 3 hours over heats and you have to wait 15 -30 min. before you can start it back up. Rad. is clean water is good ???? The other one has a problem getting the starter to turn over??? Any one who has had these problems and can help me out it would be much appreciated as we are in a out of the way area and is hard to get any technicians our way

   Occasionally we have had a case of overheating, but it's usually due to the radiator building up with excessive dust/debris. We blow it our with a long air gun and it's usually good to go.
   As for the starter turning over, it might be as simple a needing a new starter? Or is the battery running down? Hook up a meter or battery tester and see what it shows. We have 3 sidewinders and they have all had their share of electrical issues.

   Oil sensor on the back right side of engine may be getting dirty from oil n dust .this will ground out the sensor fooling the maching into thinking engine out of oil. Shuting things down. I agree with the above posts. Battery?voltage? Starters that are very dirty will get hot and not want to perform. Look at the manuals for starting procedures. Some have glow plugs that have to charge befor starting. Ie;the first click position of the key. Light pops on when hot n ready. Then turn the rest of the way to on.
