Good evening all. I have a problem with my BX2200 and I hope one of the members of the forum can help. I have been using my tractor all season mowing the lawn and other tasks around the property. I went to crank the tractor to move into my shop to check the mowing deck adjustment and the the engine cranked but only ran for a few seconds and shut down. I tried several times to restart the engine and each time it would try and fire but immediately shut down. I checked the fuses and found the bottom 20amp fuse blown. I replaced the fuse and the same thing happened again. No start and blown fuse. I read a few of the posts on the forum and from what I read it appeared to be a faulty fuel shut off solenoid. Being the cheapskate I am I ordered a cheap piece of crap from Amazon. It arrived today and of course it did absolutely nothing. I took the original solenoid and manually depressed and released the plunger several times reinstalled it and the tractor cranked right up and ran like a charm for about thirty minutes then it stopped and the fuse was blown. I replaced the fuse and it cranked up and ran long enough it make it back my shop. I have checked the wiring and found no chafing at or possible shorting in the wiring. Where do I look next or am I still looking at a bad solenoid? Any input and or advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Three years ago I ordered one of these for my BX2200 and it has work flawlessly since then. Of course, you could order one an it could turn out to be a POS...

Follow up on this post. Bought a new stop solenoid and installed it this afternoon. Tractor fired right up and ran for an about a minute. I got on the tractor and was going to run it around the property. Just as I pulled out of the storage area it shut down and blew the 20 amp I mentioned in the original post. HELP?????? Is it possible the ignition switch is faulty? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
It’s the circuit the stop solenoid is on (red wire with black tracer)however I solved the mystery today. I removed the ignition switch, disassembled it, cleaned the contacts, reassembled the switch and the tractor seemed to run just fine until I made a rather sudden stop. The tractor shut down and blew the 20 amp fuse. After a few choice words to myself I started looking for chafed wiring or possibly defective safety switches. With the tractor running I folded the seat forward and that’s when I discovered the issue. My tractor has a shade hood with a fan attached to the ROPES bar. The fan wiring is connected to a black (ground) wire and a red with black tracer wire that is present at the rear of the tractor. The insulation on the red/black wire connector had worked loose and the bare metal of the connector made contact with top link attachment point. I repaired the wiring and tractor hasn’t missed a beat.

sigh.. glad you FOUND the real cause of the problem !
Your post is a great example of having the new 'electrical sticky area'. If I'd seen the wiring diagram, it'd show several things on that 20 amp fuse and we cold point you to check 'this or that'. Sounds like you have a spare solenoid on the shelf now....so the other one will never fail...

I want to thank those of you that responded for your advice. It’s nice to know that there are folks out there willing to help a fellow Kubota owner.
