Kubota BX24 engine cuts out

[stifflej]

BX24, bought in 2007, engine starts and runs well, but when I press the "gas" pedal in either direction, the engine cuts out. I had the 2 seat safety switches test, and they came back fine. I bought and installed a time control something-or-other at the dealerships recommendation, but that did not fix the problem either. Anyone have anything else I can check? I think the wires are the only thing I haven't checked.

By the way, you can hear the solenoid kicking the engine off when the pedal is pushed, like it would if no one is on the tractor.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

The only safety switch that I can think of is the one that senses if your seat is turned for BH use. If the seat is turned and you push the forward pedal then it cuts out. Other than that the other safety switches that I know of wouldn't allow it to even start.

Does it cut right out or stall out?? could it be plugged up filters??

It cuts out, if you watch the solenoid, you can see it kick out to shut down the engine, just like it does if you have the seat facing the backhoe and try to drive.

If you manually hold the solenoid in place, so that the shut off can't kick off, it runs fine. I am sure it is not a fuel issue.

I really dont remember for sure but did you check your fuses?? If the fuse blew I think it can do this. Not sure but I thought that I read that on here.

I haven't yet, but will soon. Will update with results. Thanks.

Well, checked the fuses, and they are all ok. I did some testing of the wires between the 2 seat switches and the control timer, 3 of the wires I have continuity, while one I can't seem to get. Could be 2 things, wire is broke, causing all the issues, or I am looking in the wrong place for it. Does anyone have a good wiring diagram for the 24?

Anything else I should check?
