Wrap and hope starter!
I have one 1A08 engine which took 8-10 pulls to start on average. I swapped the fuel pump to the model with the priming arm and
that made a huge difference. Now I prime it manually first, then tug. It starts on either the first or second pull.
I agree a recoil starter...
Hey all, quick question thought someone might know.
I have been collecting the handtruck air compressors. Basically going back to 1965 with
the 1A08 engine. Plus the newer model with the Robin engine. And of course the diesel
model with the Yanmar L40. I really like the diesel model, great...
Any 2A016 engine users here?
I just picked up my first one. Came with a 1,500 watt 28 VDC gen set.
I checked it over, poured some gas in and it fired right up and purred!

Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to reply. It is greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm looking for a source for some 1A08 parts, preferably NOS.
Stuff that Satern Surplus no longer has, even though they might still

small parts.
I have maybe a half dozen of these engines, mostly on air compressors...
Well, I don't want to go that route. I found one so far at a local yard in Salina and love how it works.
Just trying to locate more of the same.......I have 4 more trailers in the yard....**** they are addictive.
Hoping the wisdom here might be able to help.
Have a M1009 and it ran great. Both Gen lights worked properly. Bought the parts for the Dogleg mod and through them in the glove box. Then before I put it in my starter did its thing and fried. I replaced that and everything seemed good. Then the...
No......unfortunately I was not aware they had closed their operation down without notifying me or refunding my money.
They never answered my email.
I was hoping this was not the case.....perhaps if you hadn't closed all the threads I would have had a chance to read about
what was going on.
thanks
