/ @ajrestoration Welcome to the full version of the Robin EC17 Two stroke engene. This is a lengthy video so grab some popcorn and enjoy! I hope you all enjoy the video!
It had a sheared flywheel key. The previous owner cut and welded the fuel tank and governor lever in an attempt to convert the engine to a horizontal engine for a gocart. I had to undo his dirty work and source a few parts to complete the engine. I also had to source a new piston and had to machine the cylinder to .50 oversize and fit brand new .50 oversize piston rings.
I got this in parts from a viewer and he thought it would make a good video, I thought so too, and here is part 2 of the Robin EC17 restoration.

Subaru Robin History
The history of FHI and its companies starts with the Nakajima Aircraft Laboratory, which was Founded in 1917. Airplane engines led to smaller-displacement powerplants (such as motorboat engines).
In the mid-1950s, a group of companies formed FHI. Its innovative capabilities led to the manufacture of Japan's first jet engine called the "JO-1."
The Robin brand first appeared in 1956 with the first of its general-purpose, air-cooled, gasoline engines. Capabilities and capacity grew, and by 1978, one million "EY 18" four-cycle engines had been produced. In 1989, the "EC 10" two-cycle engine reached the one-million-unit threshold.
FHI opened the Saitama Plant in 1993, and its annual production rate for Robin engines is approximately one million units.
Quality by Design
Another similarity between Subaru Automotive and Subaru Robin is their insistence on quality products. Development and manufacturing teams meet on a regular basis to exchange information to help improve quality. They take into account test results and customer comments to help make improvements.
During the manufacturing process, every engine is tested for performance and quality manufacturing.
As a result, the full range of approximately 2,000 Subaru Robin engines continually evolves to be more environmentally friendly and quieter.
Another process used by Subaru Robin that's similar to Subaru Automotive is its recycling of shipping containers and parts. Shipping crates and frames along with packaging materials are reused or recycled.
Subaru Robin America
Although engines are not manufactured at Robin America headquarters in Lake Zurich, Illinois, as many as 30,000 units are stored in the facility. Also, the building has a year's supply of parts for engines that are in the field.
Subaru Robin and Subaru Automotive use separate distribution channels in the United States. But, across the board, Subaru Robin and Subaru Automotive exhibit similar characteristics: quality, innovation, technology, environmental responsibility, and responsiveness to the customer.
In my opinion, all your restoration videos are exceptionally good but this one, you knocked it out of the park. Beautiful results!
Thank you very much buddy!
That carb did turn out beautidul
The best resto I've seen for a long time. Love your powder coating and electro plating.
Thank you so much! This one turned out great.
Literally looks (and runs) out of the box new!
I was really happy to see it run that good!
That paint looked so good on that shroud to be sand blasted should have gone with a vintage look
I wanted it orange haha
@@AJRestoration I do agree with the paint change on that though, Orange is one of my favorite colors
Great restoration and craftsmanship, she purrs beautifully.
Amazing little engine I've never seen one like it or heard the name but then again I'm from America
Great conclusion to a great restoration.essentially made a unusable pile of parts to a functioning piece of working motor.you put a lot of work into this project.kudos to you.just keep doing what your doing and on to the next project.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Thank you, it was a lot of work I have to admit.
I love your humor, and the work you do
Hello AJ beautiful restoration good job well done
Thank you Vince buddy!
Nicely done. Cheers! S
Very nice job. Beautiful!
Thank you very much!
A grinder and paint make me the welder I ain't!! Lol, cheers Andre!
Not over played at all....
So true hahaha
@@ShainAndrews got a better one? Hit me with it, I'm all ears!!
(I subbed to your channel, by the way, good stuff! Cheers!)
EXPECTACULAR VERTE TRABAJAR, FELICIDADES
As usual, beautifully done.
Thank you! Cheers!
nice job
Thanks!
Perfection. Great restore
Thank you very much!
Great video and good job on the restoration!
I would like to ask that you share what your tools are and where they were sourced, e.g. the parts washer and sandblasting booth were from Adendorff as well as your techniques for plating, powder coating and sandblasting. For example what grit you used for sandblasting.
Also where did you get the spare parts from and indicate that you made the gaskets yourself
Where the arrow mark on the piston pointed at ?
Very professional work! Does the engine run on gas-oil mixture?
Correct, its a mixture of 2 stroke oil and gasoline.
Hi
Great video thanks
I’m also here in SA
I have an EC17 and I’m unable to find spares where did u source your spares
Thanks
Depending on what parts you need. They send to your address via courier.

Robin/Subaru made very good quality small engines. I think they have completely stopped production in the past few years.
Either the fuel wasn't mixed correctly or not at all.
Probably yes.
did you really use the inertia of the flywheel to keep it in place while you were hammering on the bolt?
Correct.
@@AJRestoration wouldn't have thought that would've worked that well...
Hola espero que estés muy bien saludos desde armenia Quindio Colombia, que maravilla de canal es de lo mejor gracias por darnos unos vídeos estupendos para cuando un vídeo de motos y motores de motos y restauración de motores más grandes y motos completas.cuidense mucho y que tengan un maravilloso mes de diciembre, bendiciones 🔩🔧👍💖💝🍻🔩💖
So did upu ever figure out the purpose of cutting those mounting points off and welding them in a different spot was?
They tried to modify the engine to operate in a horizontal orientation.
I see the paint you used for this project, do I need to add a clear coat for protection?
It's not needed but it could give it an extra bit of shine. Powdercoating is quite durable.
I apologize - I did not open the description properly and see that the tools are listed.
No problemo
What size engine was that? Sounded awesome at the end. Be great on a go-cart!! Too bad about your manifold melting - I don't imagine that would be easily sourced.
175cc 6.5HP motor, yes they do make great gocart engines. I will be casting or making my own manifold for it in the near future. They are really hard to get, that's why I tried 3D printing one.
Please show that would be interested to see how it's done
Сколько он лошадиных сил?
Are you just from there, or do you still live in South Africa?
I still live in South Africa sadly.
You ever*
that 3D Printing was a foolish Idea : you can 3D print in plastic and use that as a molding die for Metal casting or make a new part in CNC that works better .
Like everyone does metal casting and has a CNC. I would say the 3d print turned out great. Yes it wont last long, but it was enough to test the engine.
by 7,58 sec into video already to sets of advertisements you have lost me for good bloody advertisements hate them utube
Thats TH-cam for you ;-)
Colors are garish, and period incorrect. The mechanical restoration was nice but without the decals and those garish color substitutions I would call it a “restomod” at best, hardly a restoration.
Restoration is a really broad term. I chose those colors because its what I wanted. I almost always customize my restorations. If I mentioned that I restored this to original, then yes this would not be a restoration.
Nicholas...please post a link to your channel so we might see your good work...thank you...captjack...
