I use 15W40 engine oil in mine and change it every 100 hours.

I change the engine oil every 50 hours.

Hi, I have the same problem with a Siromer 204 with a TY290X engine but this one will not start if stopped. Bleeding and generally messing around gets it going but if you pull the stop too hard it won't start again. Do you thing this is a sticky rack problem?

Sounds like it might be, alright. Have you flushed the governor housing with diesel and then put in new oil?

also check the stop linkage for sticking/binding

It was the stop rod stuck across, the clearance to the housing is quite tight. Flushed, refilled bled and running!!
