hard starting

[sonny101]

i have a Kioti CX 2510 with 143 hours. It always started right up in any weather. Recently it's hard to start with many cranks (smokes while cranking) and since I bought it new I have never seen the glow plug indicator light illuminate. Can anyone suggest what might be causing this issue ? Thanks for reading

Glow plug relay, or fuse.

Glow plug relay, or fuse.

Yup; plus replace fuel filter and clean water accumulation bowl.

All fuses are good. Now I am understanding that there was a recall for defective safety control module that will prevent glow plug operation. Thanks for your reply

Replaced safety control module ($ 150) all is good now.
