   / @ajrestoration   I have had this motor in my backyard for quite some time now. I have been itching to restore it since I got it. I decided it was now or never. I have a special place in my heart for these small engines and I am taking my time on this one as I really want it to turn out great (hence the two part video)

I hope you enjoy the video.

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.
