    Hinomoto 182 air in fuel line

    Many of the Japan tractors back in that era would bleed air out in similar or the same ways. See this site for examples to look for on your machine. There are parts of the Hinomotos that are also used on the Yanmars and Mitsubishis. https://www.hoyetractor.com/bleed.htm

    When to worry about black smoke?

    Eric, what engine oil is in the machine? 10W30 allows the engine to move better and there is way less smoke vs. the problems with the 15W40 in compact tractors like ours. Are you also running the tiller on virgin ground and at a too much of a depth to increase load on the PTO and engine? Do...

    Yanmar RS1202 Tiller project

    The Yanmar tillers from the mid-2010s still require a PTO overrun-clutch on the tractors like our YM machines do. And these tillers have the same drive layout as their Japan tillers. So in English, I would follow the Yanmar manual below as the guide for the oil and the fill level. Other...
