To start the Stihl KM 130 R engine, ensure the unit is on a flat surface. Set the choke lever to the start position, press the fuel pump bulb several times until fuel is visible, and then pull the starter grip until the engine fires. Once the engine runs, move the choke lever to run position.
Regular maintenance for the Stihl KM 130 R includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, checking the fuel filter, and ensuring the gearbox is lubricated. It's also advised to check for any loose screws or parts.
If your Stihl KM 130 R won't start, check if there is fresh fuel in the tank. Inspect the spark plug for fouling and clean or replace if necessary. Ensure the air filter is clean and not clogged. Verify that the choke is in the correct position and the fuel line is not blocked.
The Stihl KM 130 R requires a 50:1 fuel mix of unleaded gasoline and high-quality 2-cycle engine oil. Ensure the gasoline has a minimum octane rating of 89 and contains no more than 10% ethanol.
To replace the spark plug on the Stihl KM 130 R, first ensure the engine is cool. Remove the spark plug boot, unscrew the old spark plug using a spark plug wrench, and replace it with a new one. Ensure the new spark plug is gapped correctly and tightly secured.

To clean the air filter, first remove the cover by loosening the screws. Take out the air filter and wash it with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and let it dry completely before reinstalling. Ensure it is seated properly before securing the cover.
If the engine is running rough, check the air filter and spark plug for dirt or damage. Inspect the fuel for contamination or incorrect mixture. Adjust the carburetor settings as per the manual and ensure the exhaust is not blocked.
