Subaru efi motor

[bobkat59]

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum and i have a question.I was given a pressure washer that has a Subaru EX21 Fuel Injected Motor on it. It runs great BUT, The fuel pump diaphragm is leaking out the vent hole.I called Subaru and was told they no longer make parts for the efi system on that motor and to convert it to a carburetor.I don't want to spend a lot of money on this. Any suggestions? Can I by-pass it with an external fuel pump?

Yep that is about all you can do with them. Subaru is actually exiting the small engines business (Yamaha I think is taking that over from them)

NO can't just use an ordinary fuel pump as fuel pressure is critical for proper EFI operation and an external fuel pump just can't get the precise pressures you need to maintain.

What is a carb going to cost you? You stated that you were "given" the pressure washer (I am assuming for free?) so you are not out any $$ - yet.If your only major expenditure is going to be a carb and they are not too expensive (maybe use an aftermarket/China one?) that would seem like a worthwhile and reasonable "investment" to have a working usable pressure washer, if you actually need/want one?

exactly logic I was just using on my wife. I can get a cheap gas pressure washer because tecumseh engine on it probably needs cleaning. a friend just gave me a 1300 generator. half hour work cleaning main jet and runs perfect.

An after market carburetor on E-bay is $30 plus you need to obtain a choke lever.

When i called Subaru, They gave me a parts list to convert it. It had a carb. a choke kit, and a governor rod kit,a wiring harness for the module all for the low low price of 325.00. Along with this ill need a hose and nozzle kit.Anyone want it for free? PM me....
