CK2610 looses power at half tank fuel

[paulsharvey]

Took about 4 minutes to swap the filter assembly. Now, note, im sitting a full right now, but it primed quickly, and started right up.

12mm; ratcheting wrench for the mounting screws; the left side one, you only have about 8 degrees of swing, so I'd hate to use a normal wrench.



Now, I still need to run it down to 1/4 tank and confirm fixed; and i also need to replace my 5 gal can, its old, and has some sediment in it, and although I always try to avoid pouring the last cup or so of fuel from can, im sure there is sediment that gets in the tank.

So, I wasn't sure if I even wanted to post; I've been noticing my Ck2610 acts like it's starved for fuel when ever it gets to half tank or so; on slopes. I am sure fuel gauge is right, as it takes about 4-5 gal to refill. it's not a big deal, but kinda annoying. Yes I have replaced fuel filter. I do use just reg 5 gal cans, and I have no doubt they haven't always been perfectly clean. Is this just a live with it thing, or should I try to chase down a cinked hose, or something?

Your fuel tank vent is plugged. Test by loosening the cap when you lose power and then tightening the cap up again. If power returns, then replace the gas cap with something that fits from your local auto parts store by bringing in your gas cap and matching it with a Slant fuel cap instead of paying Kioti $50 for a new cap.
