hard start

[miket1]

I have a 09 kioti ds4110. Some times its hard to start when engine has cooled off, like maybe the next day or more, just cranks, I use glow heater and after a while it will just start. I think the fuel is draining back or some thing. any ideas, thanks

Welcome aboard miket1. Thats a nice tractor.
My 1st swag would be bad fuel. If it's got a water separator I'd check it for water accumilation then perhaps try some fuel conditioner/cetane booster such as Power Service or similar.
Being that it's an 09 and it's not a fuel related problem I'd recommend to contact the dealer.
My 2nd swag would be that one or more of the glowplugs aren't working which could be a blown fuse, loose connection etc.
Good luck and let us know.
