Robin EH11/W01-115 Operating instructions


GENERAL
INFORMATION
Wisconsin Robin
WO1-115,
150
and
210
engines
are of the four cycle type, inwhich each ofathefour
operations of suction, compression,expansion and
exhaust constitutes a complete stroke.This pro-
duces one power stroke for each
two
revolutionsof
the crankshaft.
These engines provide dependable service with
qualityandstrengthwherethey areneeded.
A
heavy
cast iron cylinder liner, forged steel crankshaft and
camshaft, forged alloy bearings andan aluminum
alloy connecting rod, alladd up to improved
durability.
MECHANICAL DECOMPRESSOR
Foreasy engine starting, a mechanical decom-
pressor is mountedon the camshaft to decreasethe
recoilpulley force. The decompressor opens the
exhaust valvebeforecompressionreachesthe max-
imum to reduce thecompression pressure,which in
turn decreases therecoil pulley force.
IGNITIONSYSTEM
A
pointless magneto ignitionsystem is standard on
these engines.Thissystem, referred to asT.I.C.
(Transistor Ignition Circuit), is completely free of
problemsassociated withbreakerpointtype ignition
systemssuch as start-up failuredueto dirty,burnt or
oxidized point surfaces, lowignitionefficiency
because
of
moisture, rough breaker point surface
and incorrecttimingresulting from worn me-
chanical parts.
A
Solid StateIgnition System is anavailable op-
tion.
LUBRICATION

theconnectingrodcap splashesoil
in the crankcase on the rotating and sliding parts.
COOLING
Cooling is accomplished by a flow of air circulated
pastthe cylinder wallsandheadfinsfrom acombina-
tion fan-flywheel encased in a sheet metal shroud.
Air isdivided and directedby ducts and baffle plates
toinsureuniformcooling of all parts.
CARBURETOR
The engines are equipped witha horizontaldraft car-
buretor that has a float controlled fuel system. The
carburetorhas been carefully settoassuresatisfac-
torystart-up,acceleration,fuel consumption and out-
put performance.
A
fuel pump is standard on
WO1-115
and
WOl-150
carburetors only.The fuel pump improves engine
operation at a tilted angle.
GOVERNOR
A
centrifugal flyweightgovernor controls the engine
speedbyvarying the throttle opening
to
suitthe load
imposed uponthe engine.
REDUCTION GEAR
A
l/2
reduction gear is anava,ilable option on the
engines.
ROTATION
Rotationof the crankshaftisclockwise whenviewing
fromthe flywheel sideof theengine. Thisgivescoun-
terclockwise rotation at thepowertake-off endof the
crankshaft.
AIR
CLEANER
The engines are equipped with an oval air cleaner
with a sponge element.
A
cyclone type air cleaner
with semi-wet double elements are an available
option for the engines.

ENGINE STORAGE
Ifnot properlyprotected,temperatureandhumidity
changescan causecorrosionof pistonrings,cylinder
walls and bearing surfacesina stored engine. For max-
imum protection,prepare the engineforstorageas
follows:
1.
Runthe engine untilit reaches operating tempera-
ture.Stop the engineanddrain the oil from
crankcasewhileengineisstillwarm.
2-1

2.
Drain fuel lines, carburetor, fueltank and fuel
pump
(if
equipped), to prevent lead and gum
sediment from.interfering with future operation.
Gasoline fumes from gradual evaporation are a
dangerous fire hazard.
3.
To
protectthe internal components and keep
them from rusting and sticking, a half and half
mixture of keroseneand good engine oil(same
grade as used in the engine crankcase) should
be injectedinto the carburetorair intake.
Do
this
while the engine
is
warm and running at mod-
eratespeed. Useenoughof the mixture(about
l/4
pint)
so
that a heavy, bluish smoke appearsat
theexhaust. This“fogging” operation will leavea
coating of oil on the parts, protectingthem from
the atmosphere.
4.
Turn thestarting pulley by hand andleave it
where the resistance is the heaviest.
5.
Tape
or
seal
off
air cleaner andexhaust
openings for the duration
of
the storage
period.
6.
Remove all dirt and chaff from the cooling
fins.
7.
Clean the engine outside with an oiled cloth.
8.
It
is highly recommended that machines be
stored insidea buildingthrough thewinter.
If
this
is not possible, the engine should be protected
from snow and ice by a suitable covering.
NOTE: Before adding newcrankcase oil the next
season, drain engine
of
condensationwhich
may haveaccumulated in thecrankcasedur-
ing the storage period. Fill crankcase with
good quality oil before starting engine
(see‘SPECIFICATIONS).

B
The three primerequirementsnecessary for starting and maintaining satisfactoryoperation
of
gasoline engines
are:
1.
A
proper fuel mixture in the cylinder
2.
Goodcompression in thecylinder.
3.
Good spark at the correct time, to ignite the mixture.
There are otherfactors which contributeto hard starting; suchas too heavy a loadfor the engineto turn over at
low starting speed,long exhaust pipewith high back pressure, etc. These conditions mayaffect starting, but do
not necessarily mean the engine is improperly adjusted.
The most common symptoms of engine problems are given here, followed by the probable causes.

IGNITION
The standard ignitionsystem for engines
WO1-115,
150
and
210
is a magneto ignition system called
T.I.C. (Transistor Ignition Circuit).T.I.C. consists
of
an
ignition coil witha built-in transistor mountedon
the flywheel.
For initialexcitation,aSolidStateIgnition is anavail-
able option for these engines.

SYSTEM
AND

FUEL
SYSTEM
Alwaysuse a high quality brand of leaded or
unleadedgasoline free from dirt and water.Some
poorer grades of gasolinecontain gum which
depositsonvalvestems, piston rings,and inthe
varioussmallpassagesin the carburetor. Thiscan
cause serious engine operating problems.
Use
gasoline with an octane rating of atleast
86.
Fuelwith a
low
octaneratingwillcause detonation. If
operation
is
continued underthis condition, severe
damage will result to the engine.TeledyneTotal
Power recommendsfuels with no more than
10
per-
cent alcohol content.
GOVERNOR
OPERATION
The governor is mountedon the governor gearinthe
crankcase cover.
As
the engine speedincreases,the
centrifugal force in the flyweights acts against the
governor spring and closesthecarburetor throttleto
a point where the engine speedwill be maintained
practically constant under varying load conditions.

The idle system supplies fuel to the engine during
idleand low speed operation. Fuel isfedthrough the
mainjet to the idlejet.The fuel,measuredbythe idle
jet, is then mixed with air from the idle air jet. This
supply of fuel and air is discharged totheengine
through the idle outlet. At high speeds, the throttle
valve opens to allow the fuel-air mixture to be dis-
charged from both the idle outlet and by-pass

DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
Figures

-
6-5
Besides mechanical failures, most troubles are
attributed to an incorrect mixing ratio.Themost
common causes of incorrect fuel-air mixtures are
clogged jets, restricted air and fuel passages,and
variations in the fuel level. Inorder to obtain the full
performance
of
the carburetor, the air cleaner and
carburetor must be clean
so
that air and fuel flow
without restriction. Usinggood quality,fresh, leaded
or unleaded gasoline will help keep the car-
buretor clean.
