You have a leaky solenoid.  One of the 4 behind the access panel in front 
of the seat.  I have had a similar problem.  Runs dry; won't run damp.

Well, the more I get to know my E12, the more I like these machines.

Yesterday, I had the tiller on ready to add to the garden.  (I don't much 
care for 
lawns - waste of productive land) and due to lack of commitment from other 
family 
members, I found myself mowing (with a corded electric mower - the amount 
of lawn 
we have now just doesn't justify mounting the mower deck on the ET).

Well, that's all it took to convince me that the strawberries need some 
space - so 
some lawn had to go.  Got to the end of the row - and no reverse.  I 
fiddled with 
all the switches, wires and connections that seemed logical to me, to no 
avail. 
Well, it was too hot to lug tools and service manual to the machine and 
play in the 
full sun, so I parked it.  Today was cooler, so out I went, only to find 
that 
reverse is working just fine.  Self-healing tractor - got to like that 
<grin>, and 
smart enough to know that yesterday was just too hot to work in the sun 
(smarter 
than me I guess).

Now, if I can just get the HC-05 cultivator running, maybe I can get ahead 
of the 
weeds.
