I had the same problem with my BX2660, and now my BX2670. When it’s really cold, like single digit cold, the fuel gels up regardless of additive.
I put plenty of Power Service in the winter blend fuel from the fuel station, and that did nothing. Then I added Opti-Lube snd let it run for 30 minutes, started plowing, and she started bucking all over again.
I firmly believe it’s the poorly designed fuel filter under the frame that gels up because it has no heat. But then again, I wonder if it’s the fuel pump freezing up.
I bought a BX fuel filter kit from Bota Products to go to the remote located B-type filter, but never got it installed. Now I wonder if it will matter in the winter, thinking maybe it’s the fuel pump that freezes. I never had an issue with the three B’s I’ve had in much colder temps than this, but both BX’s don’t run in single digits or colder.
Anyone else having similar issues?
