I never saw this one, but it is interesting:
http://www.jackssmallengines.com/pdf_documents/robin engines/Manuals/RA-SB-015.pdf
It says that the Robin engine may be difficult to start because of parasitic loads such as hydraulic pumps in cold weather. Sounds kind of familiar.
It recommends swapping out the oem starter motor for the heavy duty version that Faztrac is currently looking at replacing on another thread.
It also swaps out spark plugs and starter coils. It says it applies to 2002 models, but I suspect that the later models might also have the weaker "HD" starter motor and ignition coils.
