Hi everyone,
I have a CK20 and am running into overheating problems. I have replaced the fan belt, thermostat, flushed and filled radiator with 50/50 antifreeze and still am overheating. I am running a 5' finish mower and can get about 20-30 minutes of mowing short grass before temp gauge climbs out of the norm and into the red range.
I was thinking about having the radiator professionaly cleaned out but noticed another problem last night. I was finishing up last night mowing and turned the headlights on when I noticed after turning on lights it made an instantaneous change in the temp gauge reading. When turning off lights the temp needle changed again. The needle jumps approx 1/4 inch when light switch is turned on and off. Maybe my Kioti is not overheating? but possibly shorting in gauges? What could cause this?
Has anyone else run into this problem with temp gauge and also any other suggestions on the overheating issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
