  If your Subaru Engine is overheating, several factors could be the cause. The engine itself might need cleaning. It could also be due to poor quality engine oil, which would require replacement. A lean fuel/air mixture could be the culprit, necessitating a check and adjustment of the carburetor. Excessive backpressure in the exhaust system could also cause overheating, so check, clean, or replace the exhaust system. Finally, ensure you are not overloading the engine; adjust to the rated load.

  If your Subaru Engine has poor output, this could be due to insufficient compression, which means you should retighten and replace the gasket. Ignition system problems can also cause poor output, requiring replacement of parts. Another potential cause is fuel system malfunction, so overhaul and clean the system. Lastly, low air intake volume could be the problem, so clean or replace the air intake components.
