Subaru EY21 Engine Specification

The Subaru EY21 engine is a robust and efficient air-cooled, four-stroke gasoline engine designed primarily for industrial and utility applications. It features a single-cylinder configuration with an overhead valve (OHV) design, promoting efficient fuel combustion and improved power output. The engine has a displacement of 211 cc, delivering a power output of approximately 7.5 horsepower at 4,000 RPM, making it suitable for a wide range of equipment such as generators, pumps, and small construction machinery.

The EY21 is engineered with a bore and stroke of 78 mm and 60 mm respectively, optimizing the balance between torque and speed. Its lubrication system is splash-type, ensuring adequate oil distribution across moving components, thereby enhancing durability and reducing wear. The engine is equipped with a recoil start mechanism, offering reliable operation without the need for a battery or electrical system.

Fuel efficiency and low emissions are achieved through a precisely calibrated carburetor, while the air cooling system ensures consistent performance even under demanding conditions. The engine's compact design, with an overall weight of around 27 kilograms, allows for easy integration into various equipment without compromising on performance. The Subaru EY21 also features a robust cast iron cylinder liner that enhances longevity and reduces maintenance requirements. Its overall design prioritizes ease of use, reliability, and minimal environmental impact, making it a popular choice for industrial applications.

Subaru EY21 Engine F.A.Q.

What are the recommended maintenance intervals for the Subaru EY21 engine?

The Subaru EY21 engine should be serviced every 50 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Key maintenance tasks include checking and replacing the air filter, changing the engine oil, and inspecting the spark plug.

How do I troubleshoot starting issues with the Subaru EY21 engine?

If the engine won't start, check the fuel level, ensure the fuel valve is open, and the choke is in the correct position. Inspect the spark plug for fouling and verify that the ignition system is functioning properly.

What type of oil should be used in a Subaru EY21 engine?

Use SAE 10W-30 oil for temperatures ranging from 0°C to 40°C. For colder environments, consider using SAE 5W-30. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific oil recommendations.

How can I prevent overheating in the Subaru EY21 engine?

To prevent overheating, ensure the cooling fins are clean and unobstructed. Regularly check and maintain the correct oil level and use the engine within its specified load limits.

What steps should be taken if the Subaru EY21 engine is running rough?

Check for clogged air filters, dirty fuel, or fouled spark plugs. Clean or replace the air filter and spark plug, and ensure the fuel is fresh and the carburetor is properly adjusted.

How do I adjust the carburetor on a Subaru EY21 engine?

To adjust the carburetor, locate the idle mixture screw and adjust it to achieve a smooth idle. Turn the screw clockwise to lean the mixture and counterclockwise to enrich it. Ensure adjustments are made slowly and incrementally.

What are common causes of black smoke emission from the Subaru EY21 engine?

Black smoke is usually caused by a rich fuel mixture. Check for a clogged air filter and ensure the carburetor is properly adjusted. Inspect the choke to ensure it is not stuck in the closed position.

How do I replace the spark plug on a Subaru EY21 engine?

To replace the spark plug, disconnect the spark plug wire and use a spark plug wrench to remove the old plug. Check the gap on the new plug, install it, and reconnect the spark plug wire.

What should I do if the Subaru EY21 engine has low power output?

First, check the air filter and fuel for cleanliness. Inspect the spark plug and replace if necessary. Ensure the carburetor is correctly adjusted and the engine is not overloaded.

How do I store the Subaru EY21 engine for long periods?

Drain the fuel from the tank and carburetor, change the engine oil, and remove the spark plug. Add a few drops of oil into the cylinder, then pull the recoil starter slowly to distribute the oil. Store in a dry, covered location.
