Recently, the engine started running rough and the choke had to be completely closed to operate for awhile. Then, the engine would start, but would not run for longer than a few seconds.

1. Removed the carburetor and dismantled it. Removed lots of sediment from the carburetor bowl. Cleaned the varnish off of the float, main jet, slow jet and bowl. Noticed on the slow jet, that the O-rings were damaged (one was swollen, and one was broken). The O-ring around the bowl was dry and brittle. I replaced the slow jet O-rin gs and the bowl O-ring. Since the O-rings on the slow jet were a type of rubber and the float needle tip was a type of rubber, I replaced the float needle just in case the rubber tip was damaged. After making these repairs, the engine started in two pulls and ran smoothly with the choke completely open.

The Subaru Robin engine carburetor is easy to rebuild. Mine was gummed up/dirty from setting too long. Removed air cleaner, linkages [surprisingly easy], and carb. Replaced needle valve, float, main jet, and o-ring. The majority of the time was spent cleaning the bowl/innards. It was a snap - reassembly was also a snap. Engine ran li ke a champ. Should have ordered all the gaskets too, but Permatex 2 worked for me.
