Hi all, new here 1st post. I found this site trying to ferret out a problem with a lightly used (200 hr) bx2230 I just bought (upraded from old b1550).
Tractor was bought as is and with a issue I'm working through that lead me to find this site. Have done a lot of reading and research still have not identified problem.
Issues: smokes light grey on cold-start, slight amount on re-start, fuel in oil.
Done so far: checked glow plugs and checked injectors (with inj tester). Return line to fuel tank is clear (blew compressed air through). Filter clean and no water present. Injectors mist a good pattern, yet maybe a large amount for such a small engine. I realize there is no way to adjust these and they are original to the motor so probably fine. I may compare them to the 1550 injectors to verify.
Where I'm at: fuel shutoff solenoid. I'm not sure if it it operating correctly. I turn off key solenoid pulls in and shuts off fuel and proper shutdown follows. 15-20 seconds later solenoid releases. Is this proper?
I plan to drain fuel and replace with known good to be sure. I also plan to exchange the battery with the 3 month old one in the 1550.
Any comments on the solenoid and what else I should be considering as a culprit?
I don't have an adapter to check compression and am in the process of locating one for my gauge. I believe ther is adequate pressure
