Someone had asked about this error in another forum and I wanted to share my reply here...
I had been running my tractor very hard for several hours when it stalled out. I could get it cranked back up, but if I revved it more than just idle it would die. Eventually, it would start dying even while sitting in idle after a few seconds. And then I couldn't even get the engine to turn over. At first I was getting an F 09 code, and then F 05. Anyway, I was looking for a fix on my phone and thought I saw a Kioti error code list that said something about bad fuel, water in fuel, a faulty fuel cap, etc. And then something else about having pressure on the hydraulics. So I let the tractor rest for about ten minutes, dropped the 3 point hitch and front end loader and tried to crank it again, but no luck. Then I filled up the tank with fresh fuel (I was at half a tank), but that didn't work either. Eventually, I let the tractor sit for about an hour or so, pulled the fuel cap off, got it to crank and let it idle for about 5 mins then slowly revved it up to 2000 RPM and let it idle there for another 5 mins or so. I left the fuel cap off for while driving around for a bit and the tractor was fine for the rest of the day.
No clue what the actual problem was or whether I need to seek a long term fix. I had received the same F 09 and F 05 error codes once before when I had less than 10 hours on the tractor (I'm at 35 hrs now). I want to say that was for a cold start and I couldn't even get the engine to turn over, but I don't exactly remember. That time I left it alone and came back a few minutes later and it cranked up.
