My 4 year old Ryobi string trimmer started acting up and I can't figure
what's wrong...It starts fine and idles till it warms up then stalls but
will start right back up..It also bogs down and stalls when you hit the
throttle/trigger...Cleaned the air filter , changed the plug , cleaned
the spark arrestor screen...No change..Also checked the gas I am using
in my chainsaw and it seems fine..Gonna pick up some carb cleaner next
trip into town and try that...Anything else I could check ?? Rebuilding
carb would be a shop thing...Eyes aren't what they used to be and I
suffer with Fat Finger Syndrome...LOL...Thanks for any help....

Is the carb adjustable? Sounds like you need to open up the HI
adjustment screw just a little.

That's what mine needs occasionally. It is leaning out as you accelerate. My
Weed Eater has three screws, idle, low and high. If you can 'tease' it past
the stalling and it runs OK at open throttle, it's the "low" screw. If it runs
at partial throttle but not at wide open, it's the "high" adjustment.
