When I go to turn my Bx1500 off. I lower the fuel lever, turn the key off and the engine just rolls the tractor so bad I would think it would break an engine mount. Is this common? I know there is a counter balance on the engine but it seems like such a violent shut down.
Bx 1500 engine roll ?

It's the thing I hate most about my BX2200... almost certainly contributes to the common air cleaner braket failure.. I cringe as I shut the key off... the machine is designed to handle this vibration for the most part. Balance shafts wouldn't help at this low RPM, I think the high compression ratio (23:1?) is the cause.

I'm with you upgw, and I think you discribed it best, the "shut down cringe", turn the key to the left and hang on! I wish there was something that could be done... Some one on here said they left the oil in the crank case slightly lower than the full mark and that helped, I tryed it and didn't do anything for me...

The BX1500 has stops to prevent mount tear. Any high compression engine will stop a bit abrupt on the last revolution. These are not your old gas engine. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Junkman, looks like smoothness, like beauty, must be in the eyes of the beholder...errr..operator...
My BX2200 also does the "death rattle" when turned off. I actually posted a question about it and was told by other owners that this was the norm and to not worry about it...so I don't...

I allow my engine to cool down before shut off by running at minimum idle for about 3 - 5 minutes. Then I turn the key and it shuts down as smooth as silk. I also use Power Service with every fill up. These two items might be what makes the differance....
