siromer 304

I have just opened up my engine, and find that it needs new pistons and rings (plus an assortment of gaskets). However, Siromer no longer support this engine (The Q type is made by Quanhuai, who are now out of business). Does anyone out there know where you can get spares? Or does anyone have...

Hi, My subject isn't quite a full explanation, it's not that the lift is slow all the time, rather after starting the tractor the lift doesn't work at all for up to a few minutes in cold weather. For example in -8 C it would only lift the snowblower after the engine had been running for maybe...

Hi, Our tractor seems to be charging only very slowly, for example a couple of minutes after engine start the battery voltage is still only 12.5 volts and very slowly creeping up. Before doing anything too drastic I'd like to understand how it's supposed to work. According to the diagram...

Hi, The oil pressure gauge isn't reading, absolutely no movement of the needle. As a quick check I confirmed power to the gauge, and continuity along the wire sensing wire to the sender. Second check I measured the resistance of the sender to ground. Engine off that reads 1400 or so ohms...

Hi, Over on the snow forum someone has pointed out that the creeper gears may be intended for planting or other light duty operations, and would be knackered if used for snowblowing. Is this likely to be the case with Jinma 254 transmission? Thanks, Tony S

Hi, We have a Siromer 304 with Y385T engine. I understand it to be pretty much the same as a Jinma 254. Could anyone make a estimate of what the PTO horsepower would be? This doesn't seem to be documented, although it's the figure that implements usually need to be matched to. Thanks, Tony S

Here's how I installed a high current feed for the glow plugs on my Siromer 304 (brand sold in the UK, the model is pretty much the same as a Jimna 254 of the same era). I decided to add this as a new post rather than add only my previous thread which started off about decompresser then got a...

Hi, We recent got a Siromer 304, similar I think to Jinma 254, it's a four wheel drive with Y385T three cylinder engine. It's slow to start in cold weather, I've already replaced a faulty glow plug and I'm going to look at a relay and heavier gauge wire as well. However I noticed some...

Hi Guys, I have just bought a Siromer 304. Apart from having to adjust clutch and brakes, all is well (apart from the usual dodgy electrics). I now need a second hand-loader, but there don't seem to be many Siromer loaders being sold on their own in the UK. So my question for you all is would a...

Hi Guys we have a siromer 304 with a yangdong Y385 engine, we did a service on it and changed the engine oil and filter, now when the revs get reasonably high it blows oil up to the breather ( respirator) and it leaks out, should there be a gasket on the top of the breather, we just have a...
