The Robin-Subaru EX30D is a 287 cc, (17.5 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 Subaru EX21D 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 or electric starter. This engine used a horizontal draft, float type carburetor, transistorized magneto ignition system, splash type lubricating system, and forced-air cooling system. The EX30D is not equipped with a fuel tank. The EX30D engine produced 9.0 PS (6.6 kW; 8.9 HP) at 4,000 rpm of maximum horsepower.
