WHEN ENGINE DOES NOT
START:
Perform the following checks before
you take the engine to your Robin
dealer.
If you still have trouble after complet-
ing the checks, take the engine to
your nearest Robin dealer.
Is there enough compres-
sion?
1. Pull the starter handle slowly and
check if resistance is felt.
2. If little force is required to pull the
starter handle, check if the spark
plug is tightened firmly.
3. If the spark plug is loose, tighten it.
Is the spark plug wet with
gasoline?
1. Choke (close choke lever) and pull
the starter handle five or six times.
Remove the plug and check if its
electrode is wet. If the electrode is
wet, fuel is well supplied to your
engine.
2.When the electrode is dry, check
where the fuel stops.
(Check the fuel intake of the carbure-
tor and fuel strainer intake.)
3. In case the engine does not start
with well supplied fuel, try using
fresh fuel.
Is the engine switch set ON?
