The Wisconsin-Robin line is now marketed as the Subaru-Robin. Was always made by Fuji Heavy, which is parent of Subaru. Fuji had a marketing partnership with Teledyne, who owned Wisconsin. Wisconsin marketed, serviced, and provided spares support for the Wisncosin-Robin line, but design, manufacturing, and engineering were 100% Fuji.

The WTI-125V is an excellent engine, but no longer manufactured as it will not meet current emissions requirements. Subaru now identifies it as a EC-13V. I have a early 1990's Commercial Snapper with this engine and other goodies, such as steel ball bearing wheels, braced handles, etc.

Suggest you try places like Jack's Small Engine, Sten's, and Small Engine Suppliers. Only parts I've need myself were for the carb, which is a Mikuni and able to order thru motorcycle channels

2 cycle (Robin) Snapper

Easily on par in reputation and reality with the Suzuki 2-stroke of Toro Proline fame. When it left production, the dealer near my house in Houston had something like 30 in stock in boxes, and he was cleaned out of them in a couple weeks by all the pros who wanted a supply of them. The mower is a commercial version of the Hi-Vac, which mostly just means it has steel front ball-bearing wheels and extra handle bracing along with a commercial engine. They probably cost about $800 new, maybe with msrp of $899. This assume self-propulsion (a CP214012r2). A push version (C214012r2) would probably have cost $200 less. With the crazy market for Duraforce Lawnboys and Toro Prolines, I'd say that in market value this Snapper is probably worth $1k (i.e., the seller will get that much from someone). Whether it's worth it to _you_ is another matter that only you can decide. If you love or need a 2-stroke, and you are a Snapper fan (I am), then this is the one to get. If you plan to use residentially instead of commercially, then it will probably last you a lifetime.

A Broken 2-Cycle Connector Rod Without Bearing/Cylinder Failure.

I like rcmoser idea of parting these trimmers back together if you have the needed spare parts. I stripped an old commercial Robin #NBO2T for its straight shaft (and some screws) with a drive rod vs a cable. I spared the other trimmer since it appears to only need another connector rod. It also appeared easy to replace the rod with the jug/case cast as one with a side cover to access the needed repair. I'll give it to some person or shop that has parts for that model. It was two experiences, # 1 to see the jug/case cast as one, # 2 to see the broken connector rod w/o other damage. Good luck With Some Experiments/Cleaning/Clearing!

2 vs 4 cycle leaf blower

OP: After I posted my original request I bought a Makita Leaf Blower BHX2500 with 4 cycle engine That was eight years ago. I have used the blower to clean everything from the riding lawn mower, to gutters, the garage, etc. I even use it to blow leaves in the fall and gum balls in the spring. The blower has the best starting engine in my shed. Regardless of how long it has been since the last time used it. it starts with one or two pulls on the rope. Most of the time the first pull. I change the oil every spring, and clean all external surfaces. I leave the gas in the tank through the winter. I have not used any gasoline preservatives. PS I leave the gas in all of my equipment without preservatives. I have had with one problem engine in the last 20 years. That was my push mower. When we move to the new house, I drained the gas from the engine. Several years later, when I tried to use it the diaphragms in the carburetor had dried out, and it surged so badly that it was unusable. It was a 4 cycle engine.

i'm having some touble finding good links, but i'm getting there. the new # EC-13v helped a lot as well as the mikuni carb name. that's what's on there. i have to get the starter rope rewound. from some fuzzy looking drawings, i think i have all the parts. a new kit is $114!!! also, do you know what plug goes in there?
thanks again, pete

ggoyeneche - What is the Mikuni part number on the carburator? thx.
Greg Goyeneche

Don't have Mikuni number. Subaru never published a cross reference. Correct Subaru number is 157-62303-00 or 157-62305-00. I had a good m/c shop which was able to cross for me seven or eight years ago. Subaru numbers are good, but will cost you between $150 to $200.

Older version is the Teledyne Wisconsin Robin WT1-125v, white . Mix is 32:1. Newer version is Subaru Robin EC 13V, black, mix is 50:1. Same engine, parts same, guess with newer 2 stroke oils they allowed for 50:1, so I use 50:1 in my older model.
