They are chinese copies of Honda engines. If you are lucky, some Honda parts might work. Honda does not make Subaru engines. Robin makes them and is part of Fuji heavy industries, same as Mitsibishi. The Subaru name was added for marketing purposes because it is a more well known name. Wisconson used to be the N. American distributor of Robin engines and they were sold as Wisconson Robin engines. Robin engines are an extremely good engine. At least as good as Honda. In fact they are the number small engine in Japan. Subaru Robin are sold as industrial/commercial engines because that's the reputation they want to keep. Check out the Robin Subaru website. They have a full line of engines, generators, water pumps, etc.. As far as the off brand chinese engines, I looked at some water pumps with them at Princess auto. I asked the guy there about them. He said they are about a 1500 hr. engine if the oil is changed every maximum 8 hrs. religously. He said the Honda engine on the other hand was better built and more of an industrial engine. He said the Honda should last at least 3000 hrs. and doesn't need all the pampering the Chinese copy's need. If the Honda is pampered it should last 5-6000 hrs. I have heard of a Robin going for 7000 hrs. If your compressor has a Robin Subaru engine, it will probably out last the compressor. They really are a good engine. Dave
