A new engine or an engine that has been completely overhauled by being fitted with a new piston, rings,
valves and connecting rod should be thoroughly RUN-IN before being put back into service.
Good bearing surfaces and running clearances between the various parts can only be established by operating
the engine under reduced speed and loads for a short period of time.
While the engine is being tested, check for oil leaks.

Make final carburetor adjustment and regulate the engine operating speed.

7. MAGNETO
7-1 MAGNETO
The Robin Engine uses a T.I.C. type breakerless magneto ignition system.
(1) T.I.C. (TRANSISTOR IGNITER CIRCUIT) has the ignition coil outside the flywheel, which is the standard
specification. A charge coil system is available as an option.
(The flywheel is a specialized piece of equipment.)
As for the lighting coil, the ignition coil is outside the flywheel and a lighting coil is inside.
7-2 INSPECTING THE MAGNETO

If the engine does not start, has difficulty starting, or does not run smoothly, check the magneto for defects
according to the following procedure:
(1) Carefully check the high-tension cable for any damage or short circuiting.
(2) Check the sparking.
① Take the spark plug out of the cylinder head, connect the spark plug with the plug cap and ground it
on the cylinder head or any other metallic part of the engine.
(The gap between the electrodes of the spark plug should be between 0.6 mm and 0.7 mm).
② Rotate the engine by pulling the recoil starter and check the spark plug gap for sparking. If the spark
plug is sparking, check the intensity of the spark.
(Before checking the spark plug, disconnect the primary wire from the connector.)
③ Next, disconnect the spark plug from the plug cap and check the end of the high-tension cable for
sparking.

(1) Revolution of the flywheel generates electricity on the primary side of the ignition coil, and the electric
current I1 flows to the power transistor. Current I1 turns the power transistor “ON” and the electric current I2
flows.
(2) When the revolution of flywheel reached the ignition point, the electric current I3 flows to turn the signal
transistor “ON”, thus the current I1 bypass the signal transistor as current I4.
At this moment, the power transistor turns “OFF” and the current I2 is shut off abruptly.
As a result, the high voltage electricity is generated on the secondary side of the ignition coil and it sparks
at the plug.

7-4-3 BASIC THEORY

(a) Revolution of the flywheel generates electricity on the primary side of the ignition coil (①), and the base
current I1 flows to the power transistor ( ② ). Current I1 turns the power transistor “ON” and the electric
current I2 flows. This is the same situation when the contact breaker is closed in a case of breaker point
type ignition system.
(b) At lower engine revolution, the low speed ignition timing control circuit ( ③ ) operates to run the gate
current I3 to turn the control thyristor ( ⑤ ) “ON”, thus the current I1 bypass the thyristor as current I5.
At this moment, the power transistor (②) turns “OFF” and the current I2 is shut off abruptly resulting
in the high voltage generated in the secondary coil (⑦) which produces sparks at the spark plug.
The ignition timing at lower engine revolution is less advanced as shown in the above chart.
(c) At higher engine revolution (over 2,000rpm), advancing control circuit (④) operates to run the gate current
I4 to turn the control thyristor ( ⑤ ) “ON”, thus the current I1 bypass the thyristor as current I5.
At this moment, the power transistor (②) turns “OFF” and the current I2 is shut off abruptly resulting
in the high voltage generated in the secondary coil (⑦) which produces sparks at the spark plug.
At over 2,000rpm, ignition timing on each engine revolution is controlled by advancing control circuit (④)
that receive electrical information from revolution sensing resister ( ⑥ ).
The advancing of ignition timing from lower to higher engine revolution changes lineally as shown in
the above chart.

There are two energized circuits: the magnetic switch circuit and the starter motor circuit. When the key switch
is [ON], the (M) circuit is closed, the current flows in the direction of the arrows, the coil of the magnetic switch
is magnetically excited and the contactor is pulled.
As a result, a low current flows through the (M) circuit and a high starter current flows through the (S) circuit.
This energizes the starter motor and cranks the engine.
◇ Engagement of the pinion gear
When the starter motor is started, the weight built into the spiral splines located on the shaft moves in the direction
of the axis driven by centrifugal force and pushes out the pinion gear, and the pinion gear engages the ring gear.

10. AUTOMATIC DECOMPRESSION SYSTEM
10-1 FUNCTIONS AND CONSTRUCTION
EX series engines employ an automatic decompression system as a standard feature. This enables easy
starting of the engine, with lighter recoil pull.
The automatic decompression system releases the compression of the engine by lifting up the exhaust valve at
cranking speed. The following is the explanation of the function.
At the end of the compression process, the release lever lifts up the rocker arm (exhaust) which in turn opens
up the exhaust valve slightly to release the compression.
The release lever has a flyweight on its end and another end of the lever is a crescent cam.
When the engine is cranked, the crescent cam projects above the cam profile and lifts up the rocker arm
(exhaust) because the force of the return spring on the weight is larger than the centrifugal force on the weight.

When the cranking speed reaches a specified r.p.m., the crescent cam is retracted under the cam profile
because the centrifugal force applied to the flyweight becomes larger than the force of the return spring on the
weight and thus it is shifted to the position shown in the illustration below.

Pilot Screw Turning 1-1/8 ← 1-3/4 ← 1-3/4 ← 1-1/2 ←
11-2 FUNCTIONS AND CONSTRUCTION
11-2-1 FLOAT SYSTEM

The float chamber is located below the carburetor body. Through the operation of the float and the needle
valve, the float chamber maintains a constant fuel level while the engine is working.
The fuel flows from the tank into the float chamber through the needle valve. When the fuel rises to a
specific level, the float rises. When the buoyancy of the float is balanced with the fuel pressure, the needle
valve shuts off the fuel passage, thereby maintaining the fuel at the predetermined level.
11-2-2 PILOT SYSTEM

The pilot system supplies fuel to the engine during idling and low-speed operation.
Fuel is initially metered by the main jet and then metered once again by the pilot jet. At the pilot jet, the fuel
is mixed with air metered by the pilot air jet and then the fuel/air mixture is fed to the engine through the pilot
outlet and the bypass. During idling, fuel is fed to the engine mainly through the pilot outlet.
11-2-3 MAIN SYSTEM

The main system feeds fuel to the engine at medium and high speed operation.
Fuel is metered by the main jet and flows into the main nozzle. Air metered by the main air jet is mixed with
fuel through the bleed holes of the main nozzle. The fuel/air mist is injected into the Venturi and mixed once
again with air from the air cleaner. This fuel/air mixture is now of optimum concentration and is fed into the
combustion chamber of the engine.
11-2-4 CHOKE SYSTEM

The choke system is for easier start of the engine in cold weather conditions.
When the engine is started with a closed choke, the negative pressure applied to the main nozzle increases.
This causes a larger amount of fuel to be drawn into the carburetor, which in turn makes it easier to start
the engine.

11-3 DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
Mechanical failures aside, most carburetor malfunctions occur when the fuel/air ratio of the mixture is not
correct. This is usually caused by clogged jets, air passages and fuel passages, or by variations in the fuel
level.
To get the best possible performance from the carburetor, ensure that the each passages are kept clean so that
air and fuel can flow freely through them.

(1) Remove the bolt ⑧ and remove the float chamber body ⑤.
(2) Remove the main jet ⑪ from the body ①.
(3) Remove the main nozzle ② from the body ①.
(4) When reassembling the main system, be sure to fasten the main jet and main nozzle firmly to the body,
otherwise the fuel concentration in the fuel/air mixture may become too rich, leading to engine malfunction.
(5) The tightening torque of the bolt ⑧ is 9 N・m (90 kgf・cm / 6.5 ft・lb.). Be sure not to forget to mount the
washer.
11-3-5 FLOAT SYSTEM

(1) Take out the float pin ⑩ and then remove the float ④ and the needle valve ⑫.
※Since the needle valve ⑫ is linked to the float ④, take care when assemble.
※Do not use drill or similar objects for cleaning the jets, as these are likely to damage the orifices, which
in turn can impair fuel flow. Use compressed air to clean the jets.
※The float pin is pressed into the carburetor body. When removing the needle valve and the float, a rod
or a similar tool slimmer than the float pin should be used. Tap the reverse side gently and remove.

12-1-3 CHECKING THE RECOIL STARTER AFTER REASSEMBLY
(1) Pull the starter knob about 2-3 times.
(a) If the starter knob is too heavy to pull, check that each parts have been assembled as specified.
(b) If the ratchet does not work, check for missing parts such as the friction spring.
(2) Pull out the starter knob as far as it will go.

(a) If the starter rope remains in the rope slot in the reel, the spring may be over-stressed. To fix this, pull
out the starter rope approximately 30 cm, and, controlling the rotation of the reel with your thumb, allow
the starter rope to rewind about 1 or 2 turns.
(b) If the starter rope rewinds slowly or only partially, apply grease or oil to the rotary parts or the friction
surfaces. If this does not help, try winding up the spring 1 or 2 turns, taking care not to over-stress the spring.
(c) If there is a sound indicating that the spring is off the hook and the starter rope does not be wound
back, reassemble the recoil starter from the beginning.
12-1-4 OTHER GUIDES

SPRING
(1) If the spring escapes from the reel during STARTER
disassembly REEL
(a) Hook the outer end of the spring onto the gap
in the reel, and rewind the spring, holding the
spring with your fingers so as to prevent it from
springing out of the housing unit.
(Wear protective gloves when doing this.)
Hook the outer end of the

spring onto the gap in the reel.

13. INSTALLATION
Installation has a decisive influence on engine life, ease of maintenance and inspection, frequency of inspection
and repair, running costs and other related aspects. Before installing the engine, be sure to plan the installation
with care, taking the points below into account.
13-1 INSTALLING
When installing the engine, pay special attention to the position of installation, the method for coupling with
working equipment, and the foundations and supports for the engine. Position the engine so that tasks such as
gasoline and oil replenishment and inspection, spark plug inspection, air cleaner maintenance, oil drainage
and so on can be carried out as easily as possible.
13-2 VENTILATION
An engine requires fresh air for cooling and for burning fuel. When an engine is covered with a bonnet or is operated
in an enclosed space, the temperature around the engine rises and this causes such problems as vapor lock, oil
deterioration, increased oil consumption, power loss, engine seizure, and reduced engine life, making it difficult for
the engine to function normally. It is thus necessary to install ducts and dampers to guide fresh air, so as not to
recycle the hot air used to cool the engine and to prevent the working equipment from heating up.
Be sure to keep the engine room temperature below 50° C all year round and to prevent the accumulation of hot
air in the engine room.
13-3 EXHAUST EQUIPMENT

Exhaust gas is noxious. When operating the engine indoors, make sure that exhaust gases are discharged
outdoors. However, if the exhaust pipe is long, resistance increases and this lowers engine output. Therefore,
the longer the exhaust pipe the larger its inner diameter should be.
Exhaust pipe length: Less than 3 m Pipe inner diameter: 30 mm
Exhaust pipe length: 3-5m Pipe inner diameter: 33 mm
The ideal solution is forced exhaustion (outdoors) by installing a blower on the exhaust pipe.
※ Install a safety cover on the exhaust pipe, muffler and other related parts.
13-4 FUEL SYSTEM

If the fuel tank is detached from the engine, the height from the bottom of the fuel tank to the fuel joint of the
carburetor should be between 5 cm and 50 cm.
When using a fuel pump, the bottom of the fuel tank can be up to 20 cm below the carburetor. Position the fuel
tank carefully because, when it is low, fuel is not fed to the carburetor and when it is high, it can cause an
overflow in the carburetor. When piping the fuel, the hose should be as short as possible and attention should
be paid to heat transmission, size, bending, leakage at hose joints and so on. Care should also be taken to
prevent air lock and vapor lock.
- 65 -
13-5 POWER TRANSMISSION TO DRIVE MACHINES
13-5-1 BELT DRIVE

Note the following:
• Use a V-belt rather than a flat belt.
• The drive shaft of the engine must be parallel to the drive shaft of the driven machine.
• The drive pulley of the engine must be in line with the driven pulley of the machine.
• Install the engine pulley as close to the engine as possible.
• If possible, span the belt horizontally.
• Disengage the load when starting the engine.
※ A belt tensioner or similar should be installed if no clutch is used.
13-5-2 FLEXIBLE COUPLING

When using a flexible coupling, run-out and misalignment between the driven shaft and the engine shaft
should be minimized.
The permissible margin of run-out and misalignment is specified by the flexible coupling manufacturer.
- 66 -
14. TROUBLESHOOTING
If the engine shows any sign of malfunction, the cause should be determined immediately and appropriate
countermeasures should be taken to prevent the problem from worsening. This section describes certain known
problems, their possible causes and appropriate countermeasures. Note, however, that the list of problems
presented here is not all. Generally speaking, since there is the possibility of multiple causes for a single problem,
please use your experience and common sense when deciding on what action to take.
14-1 ENGINE
The following three conditions must be fulfilled for satisfactory engine start.
1. The cylinder filled with a proper fuel-air mixture.
2. Good compression in the cylinder.
3. Good spark, properly timed, to ignite the mixture.
The engine cannot be started unless these three conditions are met. There are also other factors which
make engine start difficult, e.g., a heavy load on the engine when it is about to start at low speed, and a
high back pressure due to a long exhaust pipe.
