Kioti ck20s fuel problem

I just got a 2011 ck20s hst. Has 238 hours on it. I unloaded it drove it down the driveway, and coming back up the driveway it stalled. I had it in high and my driveway is steep so probably my fault. Wouldnt restart. I called the dealer and they walked me through bleeding the fuel line at the filter, lifter pump, and injector return line. Fired right up. I used the tractor Saturday morning for about 2 hours and went to put it in the garage, wouldnt start again. I tried bleeding lines again but I have no fuel at the injector now. Fuel stop solenoid seems to still 'click' when I turn the key so I assume its working. At a loss what else to try, but id like to try and get it running before I have to pay for the dealer to pick it up and fix it. Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the help. I was just out looking at things again. Found I actually did have fuel going into the 1st injector. So then I was thinking spark or electrical issue. I had checked the fuse for the solenoid already. Replaced the fuse for relay/glow plugs and it fired right up! So glad I didnt have it towed to the dealer for that. Thanks for the help! I'm sure I will have more questions in the future. I'm a tractor rookie, lol.

So... apparently I haven't solved the problem yet.
Used the tractor all day today, ran good. Started and shut it off probably 4 or 5 times throughout the day. Went to put it in the garage and wouldnt start again. Noticed about the 3rd or 4th time trying to start it that I didnt hear the fuel stop solenoid 'click' when turning the key to on. But then the next time it did 'click' and the tractor fired right up.
So I guess my question is, what are the chances it is my relay instead of the fuel stop solenoid itself? Because the last time I had the problem I could hear the solenoid click but tractor still wouldnt start til I ended up changing the relay fuse. This time I tried a new fuse but didn't matter. Put the old fuse back in and thats when I noticed the solenoid didn't click when turning the key on?
Any help appreciated. I hate electrical problems and I'm hoping to not buy both parts if I don't need them.
