Oh, OK, thanks. That's good to know.

I can't see the fuel in the filters :-( No, it wasn't 911. Would it have been a problem if it was?

Good point. I'm normally very careful to ensure that the area around the filler cap is clear of snow before I refuel but you can never be 100% in getting it clear. Maybe I knocked some snow into the tank while refueling.

I was plowing, not blowing, the snow so there wasn't much airborne snow around me or the BX. Although I didn't think to check, I don't remember any accumulation of snow around the screen below the steering wheel. If it happens again, I will be sure to check that screen and the intake filter.

I replaced both filters (and the fuel pump) not that long ago as part of my preventative maintenance. I have to admit that I really don't like the set up in this tractor for fuel filtering and pumping. I would like to replace both filters with a single spin on one and the fuel pump with...

I forgot to mention that the first time this happened, I thought of a plugged vent in the cap. I removed the cap and I didn't hear any "woosh" of air going in and it didn't make any difference so I think the cap vent is OK. I was kinda hoping that it isn't a floater of some kind but, as...

Is snow in the air filter an issue with these machines? This certainly fit the symptoms, especially the fact that it fixes itself after sitting for a bit. Is there any solution like relocating the intake that isn't a huge undertaking?

I'll keep this in mind, thanks. This will be a bear to address, especially in winter, so I'll put it on the back burner for now.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. But, if it is an obstruction, why did it run properly for so long and then quit? Then, why did it start and run after sitting for a bit? I would think that if there is an obstruction, the problem would be constant until I cleaned out the fuel line. Am I...

I have a BX23S and it exhibits some fuel problems occasionally. Last year, I was plowing the snow from our driveway and everything was 100% for a while. Then, it started what I can only describe as an out-of-fuel condition - the engine started missing and the rpm would drop, then recover and...
