Oil & Fuel Kioti CK20 won't start

[Tractorsforlife]

How do I get a Kioti CK20 to start after running it out of fuel? It ran out and now it won't start

Well we need to get all the air out of the lines. Start by filling your fuel tank all the way up this will give more pressure to the lines versus a half tank. Next go to your fuel filter and open up the bleeder screw on the left until the filter fills up. Sometimes I open up both screws on the first step and turn the engine over and the tractor will start, but not likely if you really ran it dry. The next step after getting the fuel filter full and tightening the bleeders screw is the loosen the three injector lines on the injector pump. Next turn the engine over in 3-5 second intervals until you see fuel coming out of the loose injector lines. Most times at this point the tractor will start so tighten the injector lines down and go to work. If this doesn't work post and we can try a few other Tricks! Good luck.

Just wondering if messing with injector lines is needed? I ran out of fuel in the past on my CK25 and I simply refueled and turned the petcock on the fuel filter line to bleed. Seemed to work. OP may want to try this first. If no go than the method recommended by Sawworcs may be the ticket.

He didn't say to Start by loosening the inj. lines. He said ' .........Sometimes I open up both screws on the first step and turn the engine over and the tractor will start, but not likely if you really ran it dry. The next step (if it doesn't start) after getting the fuel filter full and tightening the bleeders screw is the loosen the three injector lines on the injector pump.

Here is a copy paste from another thread.
3.4.3 AIR BLEED BOLT

1. Check the fuel level in the fuel tank and fill the tank
with fuel if necessary.
2. Check the fuel level in the fuel filter is 2/3 or higher.
If not, loosen the air bleed bolt (8) and crank the
engine to bleed the system.
3. When air stops bleeding, tighten the air bleed bolt
and crank the engine.
4. If the engine still fails to start, loosen the nozzle
holder nut (9) or injection nozzle nut (6) and crank
the engine to bleed the system.
5. Tighten the loosened nut and start the engine.

My directions:
Now, if you changed your filter, did not bleed the air, and tried to start the engine, you will have lost your prime and trapped air in the system. To get past this, Purge the fuel filter using the directions above. Now on the head of the engine, loosen the nut holding the input fuel line on one of the injectors 1 to 1 1/2 turns. You do not want to remove it, just loosen it so air can be purged from the system.

Safety: Lock parking brakes, Transmission and transfer in neutral. Lock clutch in down position so the engine can be started while off the tractor.

Now, using your key, stand to the right side of the tractor and turn the engine over. Watch for fuel shooting from around the loosen injection input line. When you see fuel flowing out, stop turning the engine over. Note: the engine may try to start or start fully. Turn the engine off quickly and tighten the Injection line. Now start the engine. It will run rough until the other injection lines purge themselves of air. Re-inspect the injection lines for leaks after the engine is warmed. All done.

Are you up and running?

Kind of disappointing when they don't re-appear isn't it? You always wonder what happened.

Yep. I hope all is well.
