New kioti 2610 slight power loss

[CK2610er]

I have a ck2610 with about 21 hours on it. It seems to have some power loss, slightly more pingier in sound and seems to vibrate more at low idle. Any ideas on causes and hopefully corrections would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Have you checked all the fluids? Engine oil and Trans/Hydro specifically?

Have you checked the fuel filter / water drain? Air cleaner dirty? Fuel issue / bad fuel? May need an additive. Dealer would have to address fuel injection issue if any or valves out of adjustment...

I would think that it's fuel quality related, mostly due to low cetane fuel. I use diesel from a local service center that sees a lot of heavy trucks that fuel up, so i believe the fuel is fresher than a station that sees minimal diesel sales. However, Most diesel fuels have a cetane rating of only 40-44. Optimum diesel efficiency/power is achieved when diesel has a cetane rating of 50. I use Amsoil Diesel Injector Clean-Cetane boost and I'm very happy with the results. I've used this for many years and the cold knock is gone and the tractor starts easily. First in a David Brown 880 and now in a much nicer 2014 Kioti CK30HST. Here's a link for some good reading. Dutchy Diesel Injector Clean + Cetane Boost ADS - AMSOIL

Hey Gentlemen,
Thank you for your responses sorry it took so long to get back. The last four days have been **** for me but anyways. I have checked all the fluid levels and the air cleaner and they are all good. I‘m inclined to agree with the fuel issue suggestions. The source is definitely questionable but was convenient. I will try another location and some of the recommended additives. If the problem persists I will trailer it back to dealer.
Thanks again
