I did a search and didn't find anything quite like this issue. I have a BX2350 with about 1200 hours on it, and I bought it new.
I started it today, and it fired right up, but the RPMs raced to about 3500, even though I moved the throttle all the way down. This continued for about 15 seconds as it belched thick black smoke, and then it died. I tried to restart, and it would turn over, but it wouldn't start. I let it sit for about 15 minutes, tried again, and it ran fine. It has behaved similarly for the last three days, but each day gets worse.
I don't know if it's related, but the temps have been single digits recently. In the winter time, I use this tractor daily, but not for an extended period. I just haul manure out of the barn. I let it run for a while yesterday at about 2800 RPM. I was thinking that maybe it just needed more use, but that didn't help today.
Any ideas?
