Good to hear you found your problem ..Been there I now have 2 or 3 diodes from JD on hand just in case.
Solved.
Bad diode keeping the hold circuit from energizing. A wiring diagram posted a couple years ago was a big help. Interestingly this circuit differs from the 2210, which threw me for a loop when someone had posted a 2210 schematic in a 2305 thread.
What's the chance they'll have it in stock? Slim or none?
Thanks again,
Chris

Which diode was bad? I see there are three (V3, V4 & V5) in the safety circuit all of which would affect the hold-in voltage in the event any one was bad.

This is an old post, but I did see a schematic from a 2305 once, and I'm working from memory... But I think V4 is the only one that will prevent the hold in coil from energizing. If you look , you will see that there are two paths to energize the holding coil. V4 is common to both paths.
Chris,
Was it the V4 diode and if so, where is it located? I just went out to mow this afternoon and my 2305 started running out of fuel as well. Filter, lines, tank, cap & fuel seem A-OK. When under a heavy load the fuel bowl empties and the engine loses power & stalls. If I wait a minute or so the bowl will refill and I can restart.
Thanks,

Don't replace the solenoid. Your problem is the thermistor which is a 3/8" by 3/8" wafer looking thing with two wires located behind the fuse panel. Cost is about $4.00. It is soldered in so you will need to replace the same way. Been there and wasted $180.00 on a new solenoid.
