Why is my Subaru Engine overheating?

  Donna HarperAug 16, 2025
  If your Subaru Engine is overheating, several factors could be responsible. Check for obstructions in the airflow at the inlet or cylinder baffle and clean out any debris. Ensure you're using the proper engine oil and replace it if needed. A lean air/fuel mixture, possibly due to plugged passages in the carburetor, could also cause overheating. Additionally, excessive back pressure on the exhaust, stemming from the muffler or spark arrester, might be the issue. Finally, confirm that the engine isn't overloaded and adjust to the rated load.

What causes Subaru Engine electric starter to not operate?

  If the electric starter on your Subaru Engine doesn't operate, start by checking the key or start switch for wiring issues and continuity; replace wires if needed. Ensure there's continuity between the battery and starter, replacing the cable if necessary. A low battery could also be the culprit, so try changing or recharging it. If those aren't the issue, the starter solenoid or motor might be bad, requiring voltage checks, cleaning, repair, or replacement. In rare cases, engine seizure could be the cause; inspect the crankshaft bearings and bearing surface.

Why does my Subaru EH65 crank slowly or not at all?
- D
  David SchwartzAug 28, 2025
  If your Subaru Engine cranks slowly or not at all, begin by cleaning and tightening the positive (+) and negative (-) connections at both the battery and engine, as poor connections are a common cause. If that doesn't resolve the issue, the battery may not be fully charged, so recharge it. A faulty electric starter, particularly the brushes and bearings, could also be to blame. Additionally, using improper engine oil—one that doesn't have the correct viscosity for the ambient temperature—can hinder cranking. Finally, ensure there isn't a load on the engine and that there isn't excessive back pressure due to a plugged or bent exhaust pipe.

How to fix a rough idling Subaru EH65?
- A
  Andrew DawsonSep 3, 2025
  If your Subaru Engine idles rough, several factors could be contributing. The idle speed might be too low, requiring adjustment on the carburetor. Air mixing at the air intake connection could also be the cause; check, tighten, or replace the gasket. Additionally, blow-by on the head gasket, improper valve clearance, or excessive clearance between the valve stem and guide could be responsible, necessitating gasket replacement, clearance adjustment, or valve stem and guide replacement, respectively.
