BX 2200 - Engine Stops abruptly and will not start

( I meant the start position. When it goes back to the "on" position the engine dies )

Unplug the solenoid and try it, the off delay timer may not be working right.

Did u check the 30 amp use to see it is OK. I had the same thing, turned out to be a blown fuse. If you take the cover off in front, by the battery, right side tucked under a bit, you will see a fuse block. Take out the fuse and see if it is blown, they have 1 spare in the block. If it is blown then look for a ground, mine was the rear lights. Hope this helps.

Do you mean the solenoid fuse?

What issue were you having with your rear lights?

On the smoke signals you are getting

( Injector malfunction is also a potential common cause for black smoke as is incorrect engine timing. For example in a two cylinder engine, if you have one bad injector, the system cannot develop the RPM to burn the fuel called for since the properly fueled injector is working against an essentially dead or less than efficient cylinder. A poor cylinder will put out black smoke if it is getting fuel because compression problems prevent complete combustion. The good cylinder will put out smoke because it is being supplied more fuel than it can effectively use. you may be advised to remove the injectors and have them checked at a competent shop. )

( White smoke usually occurs when there is not enough temperature to burn the fuel. The unburned fuel particles are then exhausted usually by a rich fuel smell. In cold weather it is not uncommon to get white smoke until engine temperature builds up. Low engine cranking speed can also create an excessive amount of white smoke.

If the problem persists after the engine is up to operating temperature several other things should be checked. A faulty injector can cause white smoke. Timing is often a factor when white smoke is excessive. Low engine compression can cause the problem and the injection pump can also have problems that result in white smoke. Air in the fuel system can also result in white smoke.

Lastly steam cause by a head gasket or other water leak into the combustion system can disguise itself as smoke. Steam will dissipate rapidly being once it hits lower temperature ambient air while smoke will persist and hand in the air. )
