runaway or not on ck30

You guys make me nervous. My CK30 is old, a 2005 model, and with 918 hours the engine and injection pump has always worked perfectly. Every tank is off road diesel with Diesel-Kleen.

Sounds more positive. the first person you talked to must never have been around a diesel very much.

I think there are a lot more tractors that haven't had the problem than those that have. But, I'd sure keep it well lubricated and try to minimize a lot of throttle variations (as with the foot pedal). Michigan iron said that the manual trannies were more prone to the failure due to this. But, I suspect all that have the brittle gear can fail.

You're OK until it fails..... isn't that an obvious one!:D

My CK30hst is a 2004 model with around 350 hours and it works perfectly. I use Stanadyne brand additive with on road fuel. I hope my pump holds out because I'm not looking forward to buying a new pump either.

Is there a part in the pump that can be proactively replaced?

Someone here mentioned getting the pump rebuilt instead buying a new one if out of warranty. So I guess the parts are available but don't know where to get them. Kioti seems to just sell the pump as a unit.

perhaps call / take the pump numbers to a diesel shop and ask ....

Michigan Iron indicated in an earlier thread that there were "pump shops" that could rebuild it for much less than replacing it.

Does anyone know the models, years, etc. that are prone to this injector pump problem? I have a 2005 CK20 gear with nearly 400 hours and no problem so far.

Just an update from me. Kioti took care of this. Could not complain of anything about the process. Thanks to Dave from the GO KIOTI team. Small paperwork issue in the beginning but Kioti worked it out. Dealer said it runs fine and I can pick it up next week. I cannot get back over there till then due to my schedule.
