BX25 Shutoff Solenoid, Diesel engine will NOT stop running issue. Or Engine won't start!

- Engine Shutoff Solenoid failed and the engine would not stop. If one is careful, you can manually push in the plunger. HOWEVER, after the engine stops, if the plunger is binding, be sure to PULL the plunger back out, or the engine might not start, might not run well or cause other operation issues.
@ 2:95 and at 3:40 In the video I said it shut off the air... realized later, it is FUEL. This is my first and only diesel engine, and I am just learning as I go.
This solenoid was cleaned after 2700 hours of use. The binding probably caused the fuse to blow? I do not know, but we shall see how long after October 31 /2021, this solenoid continues its job. April /2024.... still original solenoid, though I have two backup solenoids off Amazon. I could probably pull the rubber boots off one of the new ones, if this solenoid keeps working?
DO NOT install a heavier than 15 amp fuse, as it will burn out the solenoid, and at last check, replacement was around $120 from Kubota.

I was having the same problem that kept getting worse on my 08 BX2350. Took the solenoid off, stuck the straw on a can of chemtool inside the rubber boot and sprayed it , (it was pretty dirty inside) blew it out with air and gave it a few shots of WD40. Works like new again. Thank you for the very helpful video. Thats a $120 that stayed in my pocket !
The very reason I post these 'helpful' videos, so people understand their equipment, save money and also help save the environment by not replacing parts when maintenance works.
💥 Nice of you to make a video for people to reference. 👍
*Keep on tractoring!*
Thank you. I imagine there are other videos that are similar, as I did not look. Often though, the published videos often suggest replacement, rather than maintenance or repair. :-(
Got your reply. Big thumbs to you . Motor on big dog !
Good to see another video
Thank you. I have to wait for a failure. LOL
The fuse situation you touched on, you can use a bit of dielectric grease also
One has to be careful using dielectric grease, as it can insulate terminal connections. I put some in my light switch and could not get contact. It was some good grease. lol
@@ya472 I know what you mean, I had that issue with a taillight on a car I had. Was so thick it wouldn't make proper contact. I typically use one that is more gel and less thick and not liberally.
Very useful!
thank you. And thank you for posting a comment, as this will help others. 🙂
That is a fuel shut off valve which is opened and closed by the solenoid. Those are fuel lines not air lines.
thank you. When I first made this video, I am learning as I go. If you watched my other videos, I have since cleaned both the injectors and the injector pump. I will not remake the video so I don't look like an idiot, because I am keeping it real. 🙂
The fuse on my kubota m20 was 20 amp from previous owner. It has now blown my solonoid.
A larger fuse will have nothing to do with the Solenoid failure. When you put in a larger fuse than the circuit is designed for, and something in that circuit fails, it can draw enough amps to melt the insulation on the smaller gauge wire, and it will short or ground out. The fuse is to protect the wire. If you had no fuse, it would not hurt the Solenoid.
So, probably what happened, the Solenoid was causing an issue, so the previous owner figured a bigger fuse would allow the Solenoid to get the juice it wanted, but it would be more than is needed.
I assume it is a fuel shutoff (?), as those look like injector lines?

Sorry pal but the background music is too loud… I just couldn’t watch the video
Well, maybe it is your device? First sound complaint for any of my videos. I don't say much, other than I am still using the 14 year old solenoid, but took the boots off and blew the dust out. I did order a new China solenoid for backup.
