KIOTI CK20
Changed fuel filter, fuel is full and clean, engine starts promptly. Engine will exhibit normal power for about 10 to 15 minutes and then starts to loose power over a 3 minutes period, then dies and will not start. If I let the tractor sit for 1 hour, the engine will do a normal start-up and then will repeat this cycle. This happens every time.

Fuel filter was shut off; new filter was installed; bowl was topped-off with fuel; tightened; fuel filter bowl was turned on; engine ran perfectly and I bush-hogged for about 10-15 minutes, then power degraded until engine finally died. I bled the feeder pump and all three injector fuel input lines, while the engine is running. I have done this four times. This does not keep the above cycle from repeating itself.

The tractor has 200 hours on it; never abused and this is the first problem that I have ever had with it.

Can anyone tell me what kind of gremlin I have been infected with and how to exterminate it?

Thanks, frustrated.

PS: I AM KNEW TO THIS SITE AND JUST FOUND OTHER OPERATORS WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM. BEFORE RESPONDING TO THIS PROBLEM, GIVE ME A COUPLE OF DAYS TO CHECK THE FUEL VENT CAP. IT RAINED HERE AND I NEED THINGS TO DRY UP BEFORE TESTING THIS ISSUE.

I would be checking the fuel tank for contamination that the pick up or getting or possibly a fuel cap vent. I'd bet money this is a fuel issue
