My 22hp robin has about 700 hours on it and lately I was thinking it was close to replacement time. Hard starting and a general lack of power were causing me to think it was about gone. So before I forked money and time to buy and replace the Robin I decided to run through all the maintenance items I could think of. Cleaned the carb, replaced air filter, changed spark plugs changed fuel filter, and checked the valve clearances. Wow was I surprised at how much slop I found in the lifters. So I reset the clearances and fired it up. It started and ran like new with power I had not felt in some time. All that was really not hard and I admit should have been done long ago. Good news is that the robin is strong again and I saved some money.
