    how does the injector solenoid work on a CK20S?

    The mystery deepens... I did this and got a replacement which has all the pins labelled the same and is 30A: However, with that new relay, there's no pulse at all! (Recall, the old relay showed a pulse but the suspicion was that its contacts are bad and not able to carry enough current to...

    how does the injector solenoid work on a CK20S?

    The engine diagram is from a CK20S(H) workshop manual and does seem to match what's on my firewall. Here's another pic after a bit of rodent cleanup: I pulled off the connector on the T2185-69971 "pull" relay (the black one on the far left in the above pic). No longer seeing a 1s pulse...

    how does the injector solenoid work on a CK20S?

    Here's what I'm looking at: This is the stop solenoid "pull" relay I think: (There are more relays along the top; not shown in the pics.) And here's a diagram for a ck20s workshop manual: I'm going go look for a part compatible with T2185-69971 now.

    how does the injector solenoid work on a CK20S?

    Hello Everyone. My CK20s sat for a while this winter (no snow) and didn't get it's needed exercise (my bad). It now doesn't start and I've tracked it down to the solenoid on the fuel injector not working. (No fuel at injector nozzles but at injector bolt; no click from solenoid, but power to...

    CK20s loses power 20 minutes into heavy lifting

    Thanks, Ritchey, Yes, definitely a fuel problem. Yesterday I was putting a heat gun onto the fuel filter for 5 mins since the winter before I had ice there. No ice this winter since I've been treating my fuel generously. This morning, I did not put the heat gun on and the tractor lost power...

    CK20s loses power 20 minutes into heavy lifting

    Hi All, I have a 2007 CK20s that runs just fine for my summer tasks. However, when I used it to plow the 2.5' of snow we got yesterday off a 600' drive, the engine loses a lot of power 20 or so minutes into the job. It goes from about 2300 rpm to 1000 rpm and then fluctuates all over the...

    '07 CK20s with bad fuel solenoid

    Hi All, My '07 CK20s has a fuel solenoid that's acting up and is mostly stuck in the "off" position. I've removed it and was able to unstick it for a bit, but it's basically shot. It'll take a few days to get the part and we're due for another 8-12" of snow so I'm thinking of the following...

    ck20s dies after 20 minutes; restarts and works fine for hours after

    Hi, so I've put about 20 hours on a 2007 ck20s that I bought used with about 440 hours earlier this spring. This has happened twice: the tractor just dies as if it were shutoff by ignition key after about 15-20 minutes of use. When cranked, it then starts right up again and continues to work...

    detent remote won't hold

    Had my ck20s hst TLB a few weeks now (bought used) and it's been great. The only thing I've found wrong with is that the lever for the hydraulics to the BH won't stay in the "on" position so I use a bungee cord to hold it there. How hard is this to fix? Or is the bungee the correct fix? :)

    which diesel for '07 ck20s?

    Ok, I know this question has been beaten to death on the forums, but from all I've read I've been unable to figure out whether to run on "off-road" diesel or "road" diesel with my '07 ck20s, with the "off-road" being 40c cheaper locally. My manual gives very detailed parameters on the diesel...

    CK20(s) lift capacting?

    Kioti's site says lift capacity of CK20/CK20s with KL120 loader is around 1100 lbs (approx) at the pins. However, my manual says it's 660lbs (link below). I guess the manual number takes the weight of the bucket into account, but that seems like a very heavy bucket (50", 440lbs??). Anyone...

    Are some of the Kioti precautions BS?

    As a new owner of a Kioti (and my first tractor), I'm reading the owner's manual cover to cover (it's raining here). Kioti tells me to never get off the tractor while it is running. But then how am I supposed to get into the BH seat? Also, if I'm letting it warm up for the suggested 20+...

    Got me a Kioti TLB (CK20S HST)

    Well folks, I finally did it and bought a used CK20S HST with KB2465 backhoe! 440 hours. Pic attached. It's really due to this forum that I learned about Kioti in the first place. Also, due to TBN I am confident that I can find the information I need to address any problems that might arise...

    operating KB2365 vs KB2465 backhoes

    Hello everyone, I'm soon to be an owner of KB2465 backhoe and am looking for documentation on it. (I've ordered the manual from M.I.E. but its backordered and won't be here for another week or so.) I did find a manual for the KB2365 online...

    newbie question on shifting CK20 gear

    Hi All, Looking to buy my first tractor, possibly a used CK20 gear. My questions are (1) how does shifting work on this model? and (2) is a gear CK20 appropriate for my work and tractor experience (none)? I read on tractor data that 1st gear is synchronized between forward and reverse. What...
