EH65 653cc Subaru/Robin Engine Info Needed BD700 LM650

[Michael M]

I'm trying to get mine running (Landmaster 2013 BD700 4x4 from Home Depot) and looking for detailed pics or videos of the carb connections like springs locations, vent tubes etc, like exactly what holes which springs go to.
Also looking for any cross refence parts that might work, like if anyone has tried one of the cheap v-twin 266 carbs that looks like our 2bbl or other parts that work and are much cheaper/easier to find than the old Subaru stuff?
Rebuild kits for the carbs or individual o-rings etc. Searched everywhere little luck.
I have disassembled my carb, its in good condition but some of the o-rings are borderline, and it needs new ones.
I have several o-ring kits with dozens of styles and none fit exactly.
If my "rebuild" dosent work ill try one of the v-twin carbs and post back here.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks Mike

I was able to "rebuild" the carb without any kit as none are available. I found a few generic o-rings that fit and used a few from a "v-twin carb rebuild kit" thats was 8$ for 2 sets on amazon. Its the wrong kit but several of the o-rings fit so it helped. Cleaned out all the passages and wire brushed some crusties off but it was over all pretty good. I cleaned out the fuel tank and put in all new pickups, vents, hoses, spark plugs, and filters and it started right up. It has an occasional lean pop but i havent adjusted the jet/richness screws much and i know the exhaust has a crack as well. I pulled the axels and thoroughly cleaned out the cv joints of sand and old grease, then re greased and replaced the broken boots w generic amazon silicone ones.
Been running it around and the kids love it, and have used it to haul 3 16' stair stringers out to the work location w all my tools etc.
TY to the ppl who PM me w photos and info.
Mike
