GENERAL
INFORMATION
Wisconsin Robin
WO1-115,
150
and
210
engines
are of the four cycle type, in which each ofathe four
operations of suction, compression, expansion and
exhaust constitutes a complete stroke. This pro-
duces one power stroke for each
two
revolutions of
the crankshaft.
These engines provide dependable service with
quality and strength where they are needed.
A
heavy
cast iron cylinder liner, forged steel crankshaft and
camshaft, forged alloy bearings and an aluminum
alloy connecting rod, all add up to improved
durability.
MECHANICAL DECOMPRESSOR
For easy engine starting, a mechanical decom-
pressor is mounted on the camshaft to decrease the
recoil pulley force. The decompressor opens the
exhaust valve before compression reaches the max-
imum to reduce the compression pressure, which in
turn decreases the recoil pulley force.
IGNITION SYSTEM
A
pointless magneto ignition system is standard on
these engines. This system, referred to as T.I.C.
(Transistor Ignition Circuit), is completely free of
problems associated with breaker point type ignition
systems such as start-up failure due to dirty, burnt or
oxidized point surfaces, low ignition efficiency
because
of
moisture, rough breaker point surface
and incorrect timing resulting from worn me-
chanical parts.
A
Solid State Ignition System is an available op-
tion.
LUBRICATION
An oil scraper
on
the connecting rod cap splashes oil
in the crankcase on the rotating and sliding parts.
COOLING
Cooling is accomplished by a flow of air circulated
past the cylinder walls and head fins from a combina-
tion fan-flywheel encased in a sheet metal shroud.
Air is divided and directed by ducts and baffle plates
to insure uniform cooling of all parts.
CARBURETOR
The engines are equipped with a horizontal draft car-
buretor that has a float controlled fuel system. The
carburetor has been carefully set to assure satisfac-
tory start-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 flyweight governor controls the engine
speed by varying the throttle opening
to
suit the load
imposed upon the engine.
REDUCTION GEAR
A
l/2
reduction gear is an ava,ilable option on the
engines.
ROTATION
Rotation of the crankshaft is clockwise when viewing
from the flywheel side of the engine. This gives coun-
terclockwise rotation at the power take-off end of 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.
