The Subaru-Robin EX17D is a 0.2 L (169 cc, 10.31 cu·in) natural aspirated single-cylinder four-stroke air-cooled internal combustion small gasoline engine with a horizontal shaft, manufactured by the Industrial Products division of Subaru Corporation for general-purpose applications.
The Robin-Subaru EX17D engine has a single-cylinder, heavy-duty chain-driven overhead camshaft (OHC) system, a sophisticated mechanical compression release system, and a heavy-duty recoil starter. This engine used a horizontal draft, float type carburetor, transistorized magneto ignition system, splash type lubricating system, and forced-air cooling system. The EX17D is equipped with a 3.6 L (0.95 US. gal. 0.79 Imp. gal.) fuel tank.
This engine produced 5.7 PS (4.2 kW; 5.6 HP) at 4,000 rpm of horsepower and 11.3 N·m (1.2 kg·m, 8.3 ft·lb) at 2,500 rpm of torque.
