Hello all, 2006 BX23 won't shut off when key is off (intermittent condition). All other functions shut off lights ect I'm thinking ignition switch ?? Also how can I shut this down with out the ignition switch if need be.
Thank you!!

I’d bet stop solenoid.

There should also be a lever on injection pump to cut the fuel flow. Just push and hold till it dies.

Anyone know where the solenoid is, Can't seem to find it. Thank you!
On my BX it is on the side of the injector pump. Follow the lines from the injectors to find the pump, and look for wires connecting to something on the pump. That would be the solenoid, or at least it is on my BX2200...

Found it! But it dosen't have a rod to push. (internal)
Read the following OTT thread about same problem and same tractor (although a few years older than yours). His ended up being a bad fuse and also found corroded fuse box.

I do not think mine has a rod to push either. You can remove the solenoid and see if it is mechanically jammed, if it is like mine.

Mine has a spring, that extends the solenoid rod when power is removed, to shut off fuel. Solenoid on mine is held in place by two screws, I think Allen head if I remember right.

I would remove the solenoid and see if the rod can be moved. It should be extended normally, but push in and then come back out on its own when you remove your finger. Yours may be stuck in and not extending to shut the engine off.

You could also just unplug the solenoid and see if the engine will start. If it starts, it is likely the solenoid is stuck in the retracted position. Unplugging would eliminate an electrical issue that was keeping the solenoid energized all the time...

IF it is the same set up as mine, of course...but it sounds like it may be.

My B1750 has a pull knob attached to a rod that has a figure of a gas pump with a line across it indicating a fuel shut off bypass which is located on the right hand side below the steering wheel. M ignition switch will work to start the tractor but wont shut it down once it is started so I pull out on the fuel shutoff rod and it will stop the engine.
