Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with their BX2350 not starting when hot? It starts perfectly okay when cold though. Even when it wont start with the key when hot, it can be started by disconnecting the ignition wire on the solenoid and using a jump-over wire from the starter positive terminal to the starter solenoid. Any suggestions?
BX2350 wont start when hot
- Thread starter Sperse
- Start date
I've had solenoids fail open when hot. My guess is the expansion opens the break in the coil. When cooled and contracted the break closes and the solenoid coil regains function.

Won't be the solenoid /coil on the starter, since you can start by jumpering it on the starter...
There is a relay that sends power TO the starter. The 'starter relay' (on the diagram) is controlled by FOUR switches... HST pedal, seat switch, PTO shift lever and the rear PTO switch. Any one of them, can stop tractor from starting.
Starts fine when cold, not hot... suggest a switch moves a tad after you've run it for awhile. Maybe the HST pedal ?
When it fails, turn key to start then 'rock' the HST pedal fwd/rev to see if that does anything. If no, then NOT the HST switch... only 3 others to try... Same test 'engage/disengage', 'in/out', whatever you want to call it , to open/close the switches. Sounds like one of them is not adjusted quite right.
