Anyone ever have an intermittent (every minute or 2) puttering/missing/loss of power for a couple of seconds at a time that turned out to be caused by a faulty key stop solenoid relay in a B2320 (or any similar model)?
This missing has been going on for about 6 months. I bled the fuel lines, but it did not help. Yesterday, the tractor quit suddenly after 2 hours of disking in some heavy weeds and will not restart. I thought the speed control pedal safety switch was jammed, but it appears clear.
Not 100% certain i did all the tests correctly, but the main switch showed resistance on all leads in all key positions (except 'off')...a good switch is supposed to show zero ohms resistance for all leads in all key positions.
The Key Stop Solenoid Relay also showed 1.1 ohms resistance...a good relay is supposed to show zero ohms resistance.
Any thoughts on if this puttering (and stoppage) are probably related to these test results?
Thanks
