Questions and answers
Engine runs fine while idling, but when it is accelerated it continues to run for a few seconds and then shuts off. What causes this?
A Wacker Neuson BS 50-4 engine may shut off after accelerating due to a low engine oil level. If the engine is equipped with a low oil shutoff switch, it will stop running shortly after starting if the oil level is insufficient.
