185 Sullair portable engine shutting down?

185 Sullair portable with john Deere engine. will run about 2 minutes and shuts down and flashes engine temp. what could be the problem
_______________________
When you say the compressor flashes engine temperature, I understand this to be their SSAM system – with Shutdown annunciator light for high compressor temperature, high engine coolant temperature, low engine oil pressure and engine underspeed

That being the case, then obviously, the thermal cut out is shutting off the engine to prevent damage due to overheating.

The system is showing you an engine overheat situation, so I would look to the oil levels and I would make sure the coolant is topped up.

Same problem with engine shutting down after 6 to 10 minutes of running. Will not start until several hours and then start up and run about 6 to 10 minutes.
I was told it could be the fuel return line could be blocked and creating the problem.
Any thoughts on this idea?
