Hi guys, I already posted this in the ATV-UTV forum but thought there might be Kubota knowledge here. I have a 2012 RTV400ci with less than 150 hrs on it that will not crank over without first barring the engine over a little or removing the spark plug, cranking it, and then reinstalling the spark plug. I have done a google search for similar problems and found two separate accounts where the owner said his dealer contacted a rep and then installed a compression release and it improved the starting of the unit. My local dealer does not know anything about a compression release and does not want to look into it. Have any of you guys heard of this problem and have any info about?

I have already adjusted the valves thinking it might be like a single cyl Briggs or Kohler but that didn't help either.

Thanks
