Usually rod 1 needs to be adjusted.

Would LOVE to fly to PA for some expert instructions!
How far are you from the New Hope area? I ask because I have an old friend I seldom see these days who lives there.

I appreciate your detailed input on the problem Rick!

Thanks again for your help and everyone else's too!

New Hope? Not sure I would have to look at a map.
I am in the northeast corner near Scranton.

It is the top diagram and the rod is marked rod 1 it is in the lower right hand corner of the picture.
The picture will blow up click on it and you will see a little arrow box click on the arrow box.

Rick, when we click on these diagrams they do open up but then automatically resize to fit the screen which leaves them too small to read. It is necessary to download the photo and then open it in another application to control the size properly to read.

By the way, this is obviously from the maintenance manual. Is this electronic version only available to dealers? I wish Kioti would include a CDROM with the paper version or offer the electronic version separately. Great manual but it would be nice to have an electronic version.

The photo is 1696px by 2200px which is huge, so there should be no need to download it and view it. When you open a large image in Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc... it will resize it fit the screen but all you have to do is left-click on the image and it will expand to full size in the internet browser window. Hovering over the scaled to fit image, your mouse pointer should change to a magnifying glass with a + in it and when it is expanded the magnifying glass will have a - in it.

Thanks Dmace. I'd still like the manual in PDF format though.

It was scanned from my manual.
I would put it in pdf but I don't know how

Rick, please give Kioti feedback that we'd like a CDROM based maintenance manual or an on line version. The manual is really excellent but I'd love to have it on my computer rather than in the barn with the tractor.

I second the motion for a CD of all technical manuals with updates available FREE during warranty period, and then for a small fee after warranty is up. Say a dollar?!

Just about everything today comes with a CD rom of use, etc.
With the investment in a tractor a disk would be cheap for Kioti to burn gazillions of them from master disks for virtually no expense except for the master disk. And it's better for 'green' concerns due to less paper and no printing costs.
