Can I replace a Robin EC17 motor with a Subaru- Robin EA 190v motor and if we’ll will the engine mountings or holes be the same. Thanks
I have a subaru ea190v motor in my lawnmower – can I use e10 fuel rather than standard unleaded?
i have a ea190v i put it on a 2000w genarator it dose the job perfict
Where can I get a new EA190V engine or get the one I have rebuilt?
