working on this issue now. Using voltmeter was getting 12volts on the “hold side” continuously. Was getting 12 volts when key turned to retract the piston. On a whim, put old stop solenoid back on. It worked fine. Tractor starts and stops with the key. So, it Appears replacement stop...

Sorry for the delay. Weather been trash in central Indiana and work been demanding. based upon recommendation here, tested voltage between terminals on this attached diagram. Im getting 12-14 v at the stop solenoid. When I turn key to stop, getting 0 as should be expected.

Yes, it is a three wire connector at the stop solenoid. it would make sense that it has its own ground as there is some kind of gasket material on the block where it connects. I suppose the screws could be counted on to carry the ground in addition to no hazard or turn signals, dashlights...

Doing some investigation on this. Double checked the fuses, replaced any ones I thought were possibly suspect again. Have the stop solenoid pulled. When I turn the key to start, the solenoid retracts. As soon as key turns to run, it pops out. If I push the solenoid pin in, it will stay...

To answer one posters question, the Tractor will start with fuel cut of solenoid plugged in, but physically disconnected from its mounting point on the engine. Predictably the Tractor will *not* start if it is not plugged in electrically.

There are no wires or pressure switches on the seat.

so, needed the tractor to take trash can up for pickup. Wanted to double check some of the stuff I posted before. I’m just starting to learn about engines, rebuilding, etc so my apologies if my nomenclature is wrong. As stated, tractor starts right up, but once key is put to “run” it dies, If...

I appreciate the responses. Looks like you all have given me some good places start to look for the trouble spot. thank you

Long time lurker, first time poster. You all have been a deep well of knowledge for other problems. Thank you for that, and any help in advance. that said, looking for suggestions. have a 2002/03 (can’t remember year off hand) BX2200 that won’t stay running with key in “run”. Based upon...
