Forward
The following three conditions must be fulfi lled for satisfactory engine start
1. The cylinder fi lled 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 diffi cult, 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.
The most common causes of engine troubles and solutions are given throughout the following
pages.

FUEL CUT-OFF SOLENOID
The fuel solenoid controls the fl ow of fuel from the
fl oat chamber into the main jet. When the engine is
not running, the plunger will remain extended. During starting and operation, 12 volts DC is applied
to the solenoid and the plunger is retracted. Fuel is
then allowed to fl ow to the main jet.
Fig. 2 - Tap the solenoid
2. Loosen the solenoid a few turns without removing the solenoid from the carburetor. This will extract
the plunger from the main jet. Re-tighten the sole-

PROBLEM
noid and test.
If solenoid does not function, proceed to step 3.
No Start. Engine cranks but does not start.
Stale fuel can cause gum deposits around the plung-
er in the solenoid not allowing the plunger to retract
during starting. This stops the fuel supply to the
main jet causing the engine not to start.
Verify the following:
• Spark at the spark plug - if dry see remedies
• Oil - Check oil level
• Fuel - Check fuel supply
• Crank Speed
• Battery
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Please follow in this order as necessary.
1. Tapping lightly on the side of the solenoid.
This may free the plunger from any
gum build up.
Turn the start switch to the “Start” position to energize the solenoid. The solenoid will make a “clicking”
sound as the 12V DC power is applied. If no sound
is heard, proceed to step number two. See fi gure 2.
Fig. 3 - Clean the solenoid plunger
3. Remove solenoid from carburetor. Spray carburetor cleaner into the plunger end, as well as in
the carburetor body. See Fig. 4. Gently manipulate
plunger to loosen gum deposits.
Test the solenoid operation by turning the start
switch to the “Start” position. The solenoid plunger
will retract when 12V DC power is applied. Note:
solenoid will need to be grounded when power is
applied. If solenoid does not function after cleaning,
proceed to step 4.

! WARNING !
Remove solenoid only on cold engine.
When solenoid is removed from carburetor,
any fuel in the fl oat chamber will drain out.
Fig. 4 - Clean the carburetor solenoid hole and main jet
STOP DIODE
The stop diode serves to isolate each ignition coil
while allowing one grounding lead to be used to
ground both coils to stop the engine. It is located
under the shroud, above the starter motor.
Fig. 4 - Stop diode mounted on engine
PROBLEM
Engine cranks but does not start. The condition
could be caused by a defective stop diode.
4. If cleaning does not restore the solenoid operation, replace fuel solenoid (part no. 263-62556-08).
To replace the solenoid, cut red wire close to the
solenoid. Install the new solenoid and reconnect the
wires using a crimp connector.

WIRING HARNESS
For Miller Electric and Hobart Welder Appli-
cations Only
The wiring harness on the Onan/Robin OHV engines
for Miller Electric and Hobart, includes a diode and
a Buss AGX 30 amp fuse. The purpose of the fuse
is to protect the wiring harness should a short occur.
Note: it is important that the correct fuse length (15/
16 in.) be installed in the fuse holder.
The purpose of the bypass diode is to prevent feedback to the starter solenoid. If the diode is “shorted”,
the engine continues to crank after the start stop
switch is released from the start position. If the diode
is “open” the engine will crank, but will not start.
An open diode will not allow the shutdown relay to
energize and remove the ground from the ignition
coils. The harness is located on the oil fi lter side of
the engine.
PROBLEM
Engine will not crank or start.
Could be caused by either a blown fuse or faulty
diode.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
SHUTDOWN RELAY
For Miller Electric and Hobart Welder Appli-
cations Only - EH64, 20.5hp
The relay contacts are wired between the Stop
Diode and Ground. The relay contacts are normally
closed and ground the ignition coils (stop the engine). Please refer to the relay diagram and the
wiring diagram.
The relay has two functions. During engine running
the relay coil is energized by a 12V DC power signal
controlled by the oil pressure switch. This removes
the ignition ground and allows the engine to operate.
If the oil pressure drops below the minimum pressure, the oil pressure switch will switch the power off
the relay coil and the ignition coils will be grounded
to turn off the engine.
The relay also has an important function during engine startup. At startup, the oil pressure will initially
be low. During start-up the welder control system
will provide 12V DC to the relay coil to remove the
ignition coil ground and to by-pass the oil pressure
switch. This allows the engine to start quickly.
• Split the harness open with your hands to
reveal the diode and the fuse.
Replace the diode, part # EH65A0256.
PROBLEM
1. The engine will crank, but will not start.
2. The engine does not shut down immediately when
the engine is turned off.
SYMPTOMS
1. Fuel to the spark plugs (plug wet) - OK
2. No spark
3. The Stop Diode tests good
- 41 -
EH64, EH65 Performer OHV220
Page 42
Robin Subaru - V-Twin Service Update - Welder Applications
Note: If the engine wiring harness is disconnected from the welder, the engine will not start.
Among other functions, the welder control system provides power to the relay during start-up
to remove the ignition coil ground.
TEST PROCEDURES
Step 1
Remove the relay and unplug the wire connector.
Check for continuity across the normally closed contacts, spade connectors #30 and #87A. If there is no
continuity, the relay should be replaced.
Step 2
Apply 9 - 12V DC across the relay coil on spade
connectors #85 and #86 (brass colored). A “clicking”
sound should be heard as the power is applied and
removed. Proceed to step 3.
Step 3
Apply 9 - 12V DC across the relay coil on spade
connectors #85 and #86 (brass colored). Check
for continuity across the normally closed contacts,
spade connectors #30 and #87A. With the relay coil
energized, there should be no continuity (open circuit). If there is continuity while the coil is powered,
the relay should be replaced.

IGNITION COILS - EH64, 20.5hp
The ignition coils have gone through two changes.
The fi rst being a vendor change. The second, to
improve starting.
Figure 1 shows the original coil. These coils perform
well and only be replaced upon coil failure.
Figure 2 shows the coil after the vendor change. If
this coil is being used, we suggest that you update
the coil to the one shown in fi gure 3.
Figure 3 shows the newest coil. This last change
was made to improve startability. Please note the
White dot identifi es the current design from the pre-
vious coil (fi g. 2).
PROBLEM
Hard starting, hard starting in cold temperature.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Check the ignition coil. If the coils match the coil
shown in fi gure 2, replace both coils and order (2)
plug terminals #X65-91000-10. File a warranty
claim.
2. Check the coil gap to the fl ywheel magnet.
The ignition coil air gap clearance is 0.3 mm or
(0.012 - 0.015 in). This measurement is done with
a thickness gauge between the ignition coils and
fl ywheel.
Tighten the left bolt fi rst, then the right bolt. Rotate
the fl ywheel and recheck the clearance.

HIGH AL TITUDE KITS
Installation of a high altitude kit will help increase engine performance and decrease exhaust emissions
at higher altitudes.
PROBLEM
For operation of engine above 5,000 ft (1,500 meters), to avoid poor engine performance.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Install a High Altitude kit. Please follow in this order.
1. Remove carburetor from engine. Unscrew the solenoid valve from the carburetor with a 19mm metric
wrench.
NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE JET OR THE
HEAD WILL STRIP
4. Replace solenoid valve, and reinstall carburetor
on the engine.
Once the jets have been changed, the high altitude
label should be affi xed somewhere noticeable on the
engine (shroud or air cleaner cover) and the owner’s
manual addendum is required to be given to the
engine owner.
2. Unscrew the standard jet from carburetor using a
fl at head screw driver.
An engine which has been converted for high altitude use, cannot be run at lower altitudes. A high
altitude converted engine running at lower altitude
will run lean causing the engine to overheat leading
to internal damage. The affi xed high altitude label
identifi es which engines have been converted, and
should be taken off when the engine is restored to
its original factory specifi cation.

FUEL PUMP
A diaphragm type fuel pump is located either in
front of the engine below the aircleaner or on the oil
fi lter side of the engine. The pump utilizes pressure
changes in the crankcase to actuate a diaphragm to
pump the fuel.
Note:
Oil capacity: 53 oz. (1.55 Liters)
Use SAE #20, #30 or 10W-30 class SE or
higher automobile engine oil.
Be certain it is not overfi lled.
2. Check hose and hose connections for leaks. If
cracked or damaged, replace.
3. Replace fuel pump using the new high lift pump.
Part number: 280-62201-00
Blue dot
PROBLEM
Hard starting. Can not get fuel to carburetor. This
condition could be cause by the following:
• Overfi lling crankcase with oil
• High Ambient Temperatures
• High Altitude
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Check the oil level. Overfi lling will block the fuel
pump breather port.
Fig 1 - Revised New Design - Blue Paint Mark
The new High Lift fuel pump can be identifi ed by the
Blue dot, as shown below in fi gure 1.
Note:
If operating above 5,000 feet, you may need to
change the main jets when replacing the fuel
pump. See High altitude section.

SPARK PLUG
PROBLEM
Hard starting when the engine is cold. The engine
will run on one cylinder but is hard starting.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Check for a fouled spark plug. The correct spark
plug is NGK BPR4EY, Pro V. This plug has a split
center electrode, called the V-Groove.
This forces the spark to the outer edge of the ground
electrode, placing it closer to the air/fuel mixture.
This allows the spark to more quickly ignite the mixture, providing more complete combustion.
The gap is set at 0.025 inches or .6 to .7mm.
ENGINE OPERATION WHILE DISCONECTED
FROM WELDER CONTROL BOARD
For Miller Electric and Hobart Welder Applications Only
Should you need to “hot-wire” the engine for testing
purposes on the Miller Welder, the following wires
need to be connected after the plug has been disconnected from the welder portion. This procedure
may be required to test the engine separate from the
welder start -stop circuit.
Note: plug is located behind side panel on the center
support bracket.
Run Condition-Connect Red and Blue Wire
(places power to the bypass relay and ungrounds
the magneto and puts power to the fuel solenoid).
The EH65, 20.0hp, does not use the bypass relay.
However, wiring connection will be the same.
Part Number: X65-01407-30

Rotor Removal Tool Spacer-Miller Part # 177126
Note: If you do not have the Miller special tools go to
step 29.
28. At this point it should be noted that the welder rotor
must fi rst be “broken loose” from the engine crankshaft before any further disassembly. This procedure entails holding the fl ywheel in a locked position. It must be noted that quite a bit of forcewill be needed to break the rotor loose. The rotor must
be turned in a counterclockwise position. The threads on the engine crankshaft are threaded
similar to a standard bolt.
29. If you do not have the special Miller tools, then the
procedure shown will also work for holding the fl ywheel.First remove the 4 bolts & fan shroud that are attached
to the fl ywheel and set aside. Next, drill a hole in the angle iron for the bolt to attach
the angle iron to the fl ywheel. Now, bolt the angle iron, or suitable mounting device to the fl ywheel as shown.
30. Place some type of protection between the angle iron
and the welder frame to prevent scratching.

31. A large pipe wrench must be placed over the
rotor extension to loosen the rotor. The rotor
extension has fl ats on each side of the shaft for the pipe wrench to grip.
32. To break the rotor loose from the threaded
crankshaft, a fairly large pipe wrench must be
placed over the rotor extension. Make sure all
wires are out of the way before turning the
wrench.
33. It may become necessary to place a “cheater”
pipe over the end of the wrench to “encourage”
the loosening process. The pipe wrench will be
turned in a counterclockwise position. When
the rotor has begun to turn freely, turn a few
more revolutions on the wrench to make sure it
is loose.
34. Be prepared to use force (turning in a counter
clockwise position) to loosen the rotor from the
crankshaft.

51. Turn the rotor on the crankshaft in a clockwise posi-
tion.
Note: Spin the rotor assembly hand tight on the crank-
shaft.
52. Carefully place the stator over the rotor, making sure
not to scratch or rub against each other.
Note: Torque to 35 ft lbs after placing stator bolts into
housing.
53. Always use cable ties when reassembling wiring har-
ness wires. This will prevent wires from moving or
rubbing against sharp objects.
Note: Try to place as close to the original positions that
came from the factory.
54. After adding oil and gas to the welder, make sure all
connections are secure. Start and run the welder until
operating temperature is achieved, checking for engine leaks or other possible reassembly issues.

1. Remove the 14 bolts from the top cover. Lift the cover
off and set aside.
Note: The gas cap will need to be removed before
lifting the cover off.
2. Next, remove the 4 bolts that hold the two side covers
in place. Lift the side covers straight up and set aside.
3. Remove the bolts from the welder engine cover. Lift
the cover off and set aside.
4. Loosen and remove the 4 battery bracket bolts from

5. Loosen the battery connections. Always remove
negative side fi rst.
6. Slide the battery tray forward, and out of the frame,
grabbing the battery case strap and setting aside.
7. Remove the male engine wiring harness plug from the
female portion, that is mounted in the middle stator
support bracket.
8. Remove the clamp and fuel hose from the gas tank
male connection. Be aware that fuel will spill from fuel
line.
Note: Should the gas level be higher than the 90° elbow
shown in the picture, (fi lled into neck of tank) gas will spill from the fi tting until the level is even with the elbow. Be prepared to siphon or drain this
extra fuel out of the tank before working on unit.

9. Loosen and remove the choke cable bracket from its
seat. Un-hook and remove the cable from carburetor
linkage. Replace hold down clamp and tighten loosely
for later reassembly.
10. Loosen and remove the two bolts that hold the fuel
pump support from the front engine cover. Be sure
to save the two spacers over the bolts that are behind
the angle iron bracket for later reassembly
.
11. Loosen but do not remove the four engine shroud
bolts that hold the cover to the engine. Loosen and remove the two bottom shroud bolts from the
engine block.
12. Remove the engine shroud cover and set aside.

13. Loosen and remove the four fl ywheel fan blade bolts
and remove from fl ywh e e l.
14. At this point it should be noted that the welder
rotor must fi rst be broken loose from the engine crankshaft before any further disassembly. This procedure entails holding the fl ywheel in a locked position. It must be noted that quite a bit of force will
be needed to break the rotor loose. Shown in the
picture is one way to hold the fl ywheel in position. It is simply a piece of angle iron with a hole drilled to mount a bolt to the fl ywheel. Special tools are also available for purchase for holding the fl ywh e e l from Miller Electric.
15. To break the rotor loose from the crankshaft, a fairly
large pipe wrench must be placed over the rotor exten sion. The area around the rotor extension is surround ed by quite a few wires. Some of these wires should
be moved aside for greater leverage. This is accom-
plished by removing wires from the circuit board and
setting aside.
16. After removing these wires from the circuit board, pull
them through the circuit board access hole and set
aside.

17. Shown to the right is a picture of the type of socket
used on these brush holder screws. The brush holders
might also use a Phillips type of screw head.
18. Loosen and remove the two special torx type head
screws from the brush holder. (Note: there are two
brush holders on each model)
19. After removal of the screws, pull the brush holders out
of the way.
20. Shown the right is the special D-type rotor shaft that
extends beyond the end of the end bracket hous ing. This is where the large pipe wrench will be attached to loosen the rotor from the engine.

21. Carefully place the wrench between the wires on
extended rotor shaft and turn counter clockwise to
loosen the rotor from the crankshaft. When the rotor has begun to turn freely, turn a few more pulls on
the wrench to make sure it is loose.
22. It may become necessary to place a cheater pipe on
the end of the large pipe wrench to encourage the
loosening process.
23. Loosen and remove the four stator though bolts that
hold the end bracket housing to the stator shell.
24. Loosen and remove the two bolts that hold the engine
assembly to the engine frame bracket.

25. Loosen and remove the four engine cross member
bolts.
Note: Make sure the engine is supported by some type
of overhead lift.
26. Support engine with chain hoist and a 2 x4 before
beginning to move forward.
27. While supporting the engine with the 2 x 4, slowly pull
engine and rotor forward making sure not to let rotor
hit on the stator windings. It may be necessary to support rotor with board as it comes out.
28. This is what the engine & rotor unit will look like when
removed. Be careful not to let rotor hit against other
objects.

29. With the engine supported, turn rotor counter clock
wise until un-threaded from crankshaft.
30. Remove the adapter plate and splash shield and set
aside. The engine is now ready for service.
31. Re-installation requires that the splash shield be placed and the back of the engine.
32. Before turning the rotor on the crankshaft make sure
to wipe anti-sieze compound of the crankshaft threads.

33. When re-assembling the rotor to the engine
crankshaft, turn the rotor clockwise hand tight
until snug. The rotor will tighten itself completely
the fi rst time the engine is started.
34. Re-installation of the rotor and engine into the
stator shell must be done with care. Keep
supporting the rotor so as not to hit or scratch
the stator windings. If needed, use the four stator
bolt nuts to pull the engine and rotor into fi nal position when the adapter bolts protrude through
the stator end bracket.
Re-install the remaining components, place gas
and oil into the welder and test for proper opera tion.
