DK45 won't start

CajunRider · Nov 20, 2010

I tried to start my DK this morning and heard first some ticking on the left side of the panel. Then about a second later there are more ticking on the right side of the panel and the tractor will not even try to start.

Can you help? I don't know much about the electrical stuff on the DK so I'm wondering about the start sequence and what can possibly be out on it.

Read the earlier post on Kioti won't start and start there

This one I have to laugh at myself for posting in hate. I recently had an electrical fire that burned all my wiring harnesses and damage other relays etc.. That cost me a bundle to replace and I became skittish.

After posting this question, I had a cup of coffee then came back out and fixed it. It was a loose battery terminal.

I don't own a 45, but my little CK 20 would not start and it was the fuel shutoff relay. I'm not sure what type the 45 has, but if your batteries are good, this would be the next place I would look. It's a simple fix.
