RPMs not available at startup- New NS4710

Last week at -15F I had the (treated) fuel jell for the first time and the tractor MF2705E stalled after about 15 min while clearing snow. Would love to know about the fuel warming system if anyone has links.

Was able to MacGyver the gelled fuel by connecting a hose from my car's exhaust to blow hot gases on the fuel filters and hoses. After the tractor started I switched the hose to the tractor's exhaust and continued to blow hot fumes until it seemed liquified (about 20 minutes).
Doesn’t seem to be extremely cold at -15F, so maybe check that you’re adding the correct ratio of cold-flow additives…
However, I’m happy that my Kioti has the fuel tank under the hood, so it eventually gets some of the engine heat.

I agree and was surprised it did. I did subsequently double the required amount of HotShot anti gel. The issue usually manifests itself first in the filters and they’re both located outside in the open.

I would try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes and then reconnect so the computer re-boots.

Well happily thinking it must have been I wasn't starting it with the rpms at min. Overnight it got down to -8 and this afternoon when going to take care of the snow it was still only 15ish. Did the normal start it and let it sit routine. Went back and was able to build slowly to the appropriate level as I was working.

Thanks for the solution @MichiganIron

Good to hear! I've got my CK warming up at the moment.
