Sounds like a bad diode in the voltage regulator. I'd be worried that the light is flashing. That usually means an over voltage, were as the steady light usually means low voltage. An alternator produces AC that is rectified through diodes, and will produce full power at idle rpm, there should...

We dealt with that situation by either asking the former employer, or giving an answer to a prospective employer of "Would you rehire this employee again" (knowing what you know now)? Patrick

I hardly equate the fact that I live almost 3 hours from the closest dealer to my smoking weed. Sorry that you took that personally, that wasn't my intention. It was meant to be a response from a business owner trying to explain why sometimes, chasing that certain customer just isn't worth the...

I've had 2 Kiotis, LK3054 and now a CK2610H. Both appear to have been mostly reversed engineered from a Kubota tractor of similar size. I even repaired my LK3054 steering shaft leak using entirely Kubota parts. So, 5030 has a valid point and in this case is offering good info. Patrick

As a former small business owner, Auto Service Shop, I believe Messicks is on the right track. They will offer to charge you a price that buying from them is only done when YOU are smoking Weed. I think it's the 20/80 rule. 20% of your customers account for 80% of your revenue. The other 80%...

Now you know how us Californians felt 50 years ago. Patrick

I have a large collection of Milwaukee 18V power tools, so I bought the 18V top handle electric chainsaw. It's heavy, but the problem is it's all weight way rearward, so you would need a wrist like Popeye to push the cut through a branch. It cuts really good and the batteries last a long time...

So I ordered a new cruise control kit from Michigan Iron. Disconnect old harness and installed new harness. I left all other components as they were. Cruise operates as it should. I bought the original kit in August of 2023 and just finally got around to installing. :rolleyes: Hey, I've been...

I would check front axle pivot, steering rack, axle/hub joints, steering links, wheel lugs, and loader arm pins. Might just need grease, you hope anyhow. Patrick

Power comes in from the upper left from the brake lamp fuse circuit. Orange wire leads to the Brake Cruise Relay and is energized when brake switch closes. That also puts power to the brake light relay and goes to ground closing the contacts to the brake lights. Yellow/Green wire travels to...

I'll check the brake switch wiring. Maybe there's a wire pulled loose, but the brake lights operate normal. This is a plug and play set up. I called my Dealer and he claims they just install and works perfect.:rolleyes: Thanks for the reply! Patrick

I rechecked all connections and confirmed the relays do work by swapping them. I also discovered that the magnet will energize, hold the pedal in position, and the light stay on when the brake switch is closed, but as soon as brake is released, coil is deenergized and pedal returns to neutral...

I bought from my local KIOTI dealer, and just installed, the factory cruise control kit for my 2018 Kioti. The dash light illuminates when I press the on switch, but when I release it, the light goes out and the FWD pedal returns to neutral setting. The manual is confusing, but I also tried...

Actually, they do add salt. We rented a cabin for interim living between forest fire home loss and relocating to new home. The was a notice in the manual similar to this: 'Water softeners add sodium to drinking water, which can be a concern for individuals on a low-sodium diet, particularly...

I always found him to be very helpful. I think he was involved with BETSCO, but last I saw he was promoting NOVA. Sad to see him spamming. Maybe a bot got his account. Patrick
