I've been chasing a problem with the engine on my BX2230 missing or stalling. Acted like an obstruction in the fuel system but it would do it whether under load or not. I have cleaned the tank and lines the best I can. I use this tractor mostly for mowing. It completely died last night while mowing and when it did I could hear the shut off solenoid clicking in and out. I disconnected the solenoid and finished mowing with no problems. This solenoid is the second one I have installed in the 17 years I've owned this machine, the others just wouldn't stop the engine when the switch was turned off. Anyone on here ever experienced a problem like this? I would think for the solenoid to be energizing voltage has to be coming from somewhere, a safety switch or the ignition switch

Likely the seat switch. There are two layers to the spring holding the seat up and the switch open when you get off. remove one of those leafs and the problem will likely go away.
Or am I thinking of the later models? Nevertheless I think the problem will be with the seat switch!
Thank you. I was leaning toward the seat switch, just curious if anyone had ever had a similar problem.
