Ryobi trimmer problems...
Hi, I have a Ryobi trimmer which will run only if I keep pressing the primer bulb. If I spray out the carb with carb cleaner it runs fine for about 30mins or so then starts to die unless I give it gas with the primer bulb. Spark plug has been changed... Any help would be greatly appriciated! Thanks

Hello raleighnole!
Sounds to me like the carb needs to be disassembled and cleaned out. You might get by just backing out the high speed mixture screw just a tad. Its the one (of two) that's closest to the air cleaner.

The carb has a rubber flap that is used as a metering device. When the unit sits for a while, the rubber flap sticks in the carbureter. If you disassemble the carb, you will be able to see the rubber flap. Soak it in some fuel and you should be able to pull it away from the metal. Reassemble and you should run ok again. Also check for bubbles in the fuel lines when the unit stalls. If there are any, you got holes or an uncovered fuel pick up.

Bubbles in the fuel line...
Trouble happened again after I had disassembled the carb as instructed below. Engine ran for about 20mins this time fine. When it starts to stall there are bubbles in the fuel line. If I use the primer bulb, gas is sent through the fuel line and the motor revs up again. johntcc1 wrote:

Can you please explain this statement further for me? Where do I check, do I need to get a new fuel tank/lines (sold together)? Thank you for the help!

You shouldn't need to replace the tank unless you've dropped the unit.
