Do you not have a Robin dealer in your area? Perhaps one of the guys on this forum live close by one and might consider helping you. I would think that a Kohler regulator might work. Jack Robin might also hook you up to come one close.

You are correct, that is the way it comes from the factory. When/if I replace the ignition switch I will remove my modification.

Good source.

Search for Robin part # 2637190101 . The price is $25.80. A slight increase from two years ago.

Wow! Thanks for the link DHS. Looks like I can just order the part and have it shipped to the house. Thanks to JJ as well for having the idea. and to Bob for stearing me away from trouble.

You never said whether you found the problem that caused the burnout. If you put the new one in, it may burnout if you haven't isolated the problem. I would start the engine, and see if you have about 24 to 26 volts AC coming from the alternator. That regulator is also a rectifier for the AC voltage to change it to DC, and regulate the voltage. Good luck.

Thanks JJ. I ordered the regulator from jackssmallengines.com today and rebuilt the wiring. I will be sure and check the voltage before installing the regulator. I am in hopes that it just shorted out but your right it might pay to check it. I let you know in a few days (subject to the arrival of the regulator) how this little job comes out.

Stray,
Glad to see your V/R is on the way. J.J.'s advice to check the charging coil voltage is good advice. Take a look at the thread titled "Robin Engine Charging Capacity" The output of your charging coils @3600 rpm should be 36-60 volts AC. The voltage regulator rectifies the AC to 13 - 18 volts DC. Be careful not to short or ground the two charging coil wires with the engine running. The engine must be pulled to replace the charging coils.

The new regulator came in and has been installed and is in use. Everything seems to be working fine. The new one is physical smaller but with the same bolt hole centers. I also had to space it away from the frame to keep the connections from coming in contact with the frame. I don’t under stand it but where I ordered one of these regulators and one was all that I paid for and one was all the inventory sheet stated. There were 3 (three) in the box. I wander what gives? 3 for the price of one?

Stray,
My original Robin voltage regulator was the larger 30 amp model. I went through two of them in less than a year. The smaller 15 amp model is considerably less expensive and has kept working for over three years. Jacks small engine must have sent you a bonus. I used a spacer when I installed my 15 amp V/R also.
