BX 2200 Dies!

While running my bx will just shut down and die. It act's like you shut the key off...even at full throttle. I suspect maybe a bad ground somewhere or a fuel cut-out solenoid. I can stop, disengage all pto, shift to neutral, ect and she'll start right back up...but it's becoming more frequent and I need to track this down.

Have you been using Bio Diesel greater than B-30? Using Service Power or other additive for lubication with the 15ppm ULSD? Too much of a good thing is a bad thing for your fuel filters. EPA is realizing the sulfur they took out of #2 Diesel is letting the micro-biological organism flourish and the chemicals to kill these fungus is more of a hazard for the environment than the sulfur was. This is your government at work and I heard this straight from a Region 4 EPA Biologist. Reducing your engine load and short time restarts tells me your engine might be starving for fuel in addition to any electrical problem(s).

Before spending $126 spend $10 and replace both fuel filters. One is in the engine compartment and one is under the tractor. Good routine maintenance to replace them even if it doesn't solve the problem.

DC....do you have a P/N for your blades..I'd like to give 'em a try.

OB1kubota... No bio fuel...just off-road diesel. I DO add some service power and some marvel to every 6 gal jug I get. But I am conservative in how much I add..so as not to over do it. The pump/injectors are definitly quieter with it than without.

TobyH...Yep..I agree, it's time for her spring tune-up anyway. I've only got abot 580hrs on but I change my oil every year inc fuel filters, and I've changed my hydro (inc front diff) twice already and I'm going to do it again. I belive a clean tranny is a happy one...I've seen what neglected fluid will do to an automatic, I'd rather keep on top of it than have to change clutch paks too soon for no good reason. ps howdy neighbor!!!

Howdy back, Kenneyz. How'd you make out with your BX? Just curious if you solved the problem. Any warmer down there in the south land?

Jump the solinoid to the battery first to make sure it's good of bad. Boy those are expensive.
