As I said before the 2 wires that connect to the offending fuses are 117 and 101 but I cant follow where they go and cant see them on the wiring diagram that I have

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
couple of days and you could have
... could just leave it on a pair of leads for test purposes for now toodid you try them one at a time to eliminate each?
which pump?
wonder if the stop solenoid has gone to earth or exploded .... try removing it and disconnecting it

Sorry what exactly is the stop solenoid and where would I find it ?couple of days and you could have

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
it's an electrically operated engine stop device .....
instead of an old skool pull cable ...
turns the engine off at the key, instead of having to expend huge mounts of energy and thought on actually pulling a cable to stop the motor, before turning off the ignition key
and are notoriously a PITFA ..... it'll be on the injector pump and have maybe two/three wires to it @Mick-the-fitter will almost certainly be familiar with your m/c ... I'm just chucking generic responses at you for non-specific motors/machines in the hope that we'll hit the target
..... distant diagnoses of electrical issues is notoriously difficult, at the best of times

I have heard talk of this illusive stop solenoid on other chats but dont have a clue if i have one or where it is
And i appreciate every minute you spare me.it's an electrically operated engine stop device .....

Resettable fuses?did consider this the other night ..... long term though is it worth the investment ,although not astronomic .. once sorted?
I bought one of each value and they live in my test kit. I drop one in when I'm tracking a problem, but no, I don't load the fuse box with them.

Disconnect your glow plug cable. Don’t give up now, you’ve got to be closer than you were.

If you mean the cable to the bus rail on the glow plugs I have already tried that.

Pretty sure that's fuel pressure switch/sensor.
This is the glow plug bus bar. I guess the cable is at the other end!

Yes it is and I have tried that. Thanks.

What about the relay end of the same cable? It’s not unknown for the Insulation on that cable to crack due to heat

Are there any 12v power supply points on the machine for plugging in a beacon or the likes?

You'll find it the problem and it'll be simple enough.
This article might help you come up with strategy for finding where the problem is..

Reading through the thread it sounds like it has to be a short to ground. There is a damaged positive wire touching earth somewhere. How could any damage have occurred? What was happening when the problem started?
Could there be a problem with the ignition switch/barrel? I'm thinking it has to be something that's physically happened to cause the short.
Just throwing some ideas out there!
