Hi
I have a Kioti CK 20 HST which has been a workhorse for 5 years. Today when my wife went to use it for some gardening chores the engine would start, run for a few seconds and then die. It sounded like a fuel supply issue. So I worked my way down the fuel system... tank was half full, filter was reasonably clean. Got to the fuel pump where my owner's manual says there is an air vent cock, but for the life of me I can't find it! I ended up opening the nuts where the fuel lines go to the cylinders to make sure fuel was flowing when the engine was turning over, but I could only open the first and third ones. The middle one is positioned so close to the other two that I couldn't get a wrench on with enough purchase to grab the nut. I will openly admit that I am not that much of a mechanic, so I thought I would ask y'all as the knowledge that some of you on TBN have just blows me away. Is there an air vent cock on the fuel pump system on Kiotis and if so where is the darn thing ( a picture would be great!), and is there some other way to test that enough fuel is getting to the cylinders?
Thanks!
