Here in Upstate NY the temperature is in the teens and single digits and we are bracing for yet another snow storm. And my BX2360 is down, again.

The problem is this: it fires up every time, and will idle all day. When I throttle up, it goes to full power, but as soon as I attempt to drive it stalls out.

This happens only when it’s cold. I treat my diesel with anti gel. About 2 weeks ago I had some water in the racor fuel water separator I installed so I changed my filters. It still didn’t fix the problem. I ran some diesel 911 through and still nothing. Today I drained my tank completely, blew compressed air into the tank and lines, and filled up with fresh fuel. still nothing. And the fuel that did come out looked good, no sign of more water.

It will fire up and run, but always loses power when I try to take off. Any thoughts? I would really like to be able to get it running to move this snow we are getting this week.

brake? ok - that's too easy.

Check the PTO lever?
Seat - safety switch........... that's my bet..

You are a genius! The PTO lever was stuck, just slightly enough that I didn’t notice. As soon as I locked it in, I took off like a bat outta hell!

Bring on the blizzard! Thank you!!

When in need.. call for back up! Love these forums, next best thing to hanging out in the garage with a bunch of mechanics.

Glad you figured it out!
