  If the ROBEL Industrial Equipment engine doesn't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank is adequately filled. Next, check that the engine switch is set to the “ON” position and that the fuel tap is open. If the engine is cold, make sure to move the choke lever to the “CLOSE” position. Other potential causes include dirty carburetor jets (clean the carburetor), a problematic spark plug (maintain the spark plug as described in Ch. 7.2.4), lack of ignition spark (check cables, connections, and the ignition coil, replacing if necessary), a choked fuel filter (clean it), or a flooded engine (close the fuel tap, set the throttle lever to full throttle, start the engine; if necessary, remove, clean, and dry the spark plug).

What to do if ROBEL 13.45SKS Vers. 01 Industrial Equipment engine does not develop peak power?
- D
  Donald FloydAug 16, 2025
  If your ROBEL Industrial Equipment engine isn't developing peak power, start by removing and cleaning the exhaust to eliminate any carbon deposits. Ensure you are using the correct fuel type, and if not, drain the current fuel and refuel according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Other potential issues could be a blocked fuel filter, a malfunctioning carburetor, ignition problems, or a blocked valve operation. In such cases, arrange for repair or replacement of the affected component.
