C-85 814 #1 Posted 3 hours ago I'm helping a friend with a Subaru Robin 9hp EX27 engine that was his wood splitter. He's funny , last year he had told me that he was giving up on using wood and was going to get his heat from a hose, but with the current oil prices he's having to rethink this! He said suddenly the engine was racing so we investigated and found its governor shaft was broken off and there was slight damage to the governor gear as well. I've tried to find a new shaft and haven't been able to find one, I had no idea finding parts for these Subaru engines would be so hard! I did see a gear on eBay. I don't know much about these Subaru engines and it looks like a mostly well designed engine, I see that it has roller bearings on both ends of the crank. Does anyone know if this is a known issue? Any ideas if there's a source for parts or used parts? C-85 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
