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 fl ywheel, which is the standard

specifi cation. A charge coil system is available as an option.
(The fl ywheel is a specialized piece of equipment.)
As for the lighting coil, the ignition coil is outside the fl ywheel and a lighting coil is inside.

7-2 INSPECTING THE MAGNETO

If the engine does not start, has diffi culty 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.

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).

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.)

Next, disconnect the spark plug from the plug cap and check the end of the high-tension cable for

sparking.
