Kioti under the weather

Oops I meant the injector pump.

Check old posts. There have been quite a few injector failures on CK25s and CK30s. Mine failed at about 300 hours. Luckily under warranty. I'm told it's like a $1500 repair. I just hope the replacement doesn't crap out so fast.

My pump went at about 100 hours. Did you get the tingly feeling from the over-revving and the key not stopping it? Glad I remembered the fuel shut-off..

Yep. Had all those symptoms. Mine is gear. So, I just put it in high gear and stalled it. After it did that once, I never restarted it again until it was fixed. It was scary.

The kioti is back home now, here is what I was told. They first narrowed it down to a faulty injector. They reassembled it, ran it and noise seemed to go away. Then the next day they ran it again to make sure that it was all set and they heard another noise. They found that bolts that go through the clutch and fly wheel had backed out. So to fix this they had to split the tractor to get to them. I did use to hear a real faint noise at times but thought it was the clutch noise that I have asked about before but was told it was normal. I am very happy it was caught before real damage happened. So the kioti is now back home, but have not used it yet because there has been so much rain.
On another note they have a 2009 kioti DK45 hst with loader and Woods Backhoe on sale for $28,500.00. That seems like a great price, but not sure if it is or not. Really do not want to upgrade at this point, although it is awful tempting.

Hey, that's great that they caught the clutch before it blew up or might have self destructed. Wow, and under warranty too! You lucky devil :laughing:
And a free injector to boot!
So if you don't feel like upgrading don't feel compelled to. Where is the local dealer you go to?
I may be coming to Stonington next week on unrelated business in the area. PM me as to how to get a hold of you so we can meet at our mutual convenience and take a look at what I need to do- OK?
If nothing else maybe I can see your 'rig' and we can jawbone tractor stuff.:thumbsup:

Glad to hear everything went well for you.
