I can believe a mechanic at the dealer said to contact a lawyer, but not dealer management/owners. They are intertwined in this situation and would be part of the lawsuit. It would be the same as saying sue me! I get the feeling we are not getting the full picture. All businesses have one driving force. "Profit". Profit is not a bad thing when dealing with large companies looking to increase there brand recognition and longevity. It makes them act in a certain way. They protect their brand name. That is why there are thousands of post on this forum alone, of customers who are satisfied with Kioti equipment and customer service. Ford, Chevy, John Deere, Cat, etc. have a small number of cases of flawed equipment. They fix it, because it is in the best interest of the Company sometimes even when it is the operators fault. Kioti is just the same. There is more to this and the mechanics / electronics of this are not that hard. The starting circuit is basically the same on every piece of equipment. As a mechanic and automotive electrical repair tech, I would be ashamed that this was not fixed in the first few days. The fact is a simple glaring problem. The mechanic at the your dealership know nothing about electrical troubleshooting. It is the dealership who is the problem, and it sounds as if they are blaming someone else. Electricity act a certain way and this does not change for brands. You need a real mechanic and troubleshooter.
