Kioti ECU software update notice?

[BigCountry1689]

I received the same letter 2 days ago, called dealer and they already did the update while replacing the fuel injector. Hadn't really paid any attention till reading the post here but it seems mine is using more fuel now. I went through a full tank in 3.5 hours on Tuesday moving trees and brush.

Maybe the replaced injector is now delivering the correct amount of fuel?
If so, could it account for the increase in consumption?

Got my letter today, guess I'll be calling the dealer to see if they did the update a few weeks ago or not, if not then guess I will have it done.

Could be, I definately notice an increase in power from what I had.

I inquired with my closest dealer since I picked up my tractor from my closest dealer a day before receiving the notice. My closest dealer didn't know anything about it.

Speculating, I'm guessing that the update has something to do with the warm-up fuel map. The tier 4B requirement should have required shutters on the radiator to better control temperature so the tractor could warm up if not under a load and not run on the warm-up map loading up the DPF.

I'm suspicious this is somehow related to the type of shenanigans that VW foisted upon us. Could Kioti be playing a similar game and now is spooked by the big fines and costs VW will incur so is being "proactive" in reprogramming their ECMs???

There may be a more innocent reason but if I had an NX that was running well I think I'd wait for evidence that performance would not be negatively influenced before I got mine "updated".

Ah the joys of owning an antiquated DKse.

I should know tomorrow if they did my update back when they had the tractor in the shop for the over fueling issue I was having after start up on a cold engine. I didn't go I detail with them back then about what all was done, but they did say they were back and forth with kioti about reprogramming the ECM. If it does have the new flash, I've had no issues with it.

My dealership's owner didn't reach me on his call back last week, so he left a vmail. Said he just got the kits in from Kioti to do the update, and would be calling with more info. I'm not in a hurry to have this done, so will standby for now.

My letter said they would like to have the update done by June 16th, guessing that's a deadline they were given to meet. Wonder what the "kit" is to do the updates, or if maybe he was just talking about the cables and software to be able to perform them.
