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....


Ive had quite a few motors that had the eletronic ignitions fail like
that, symptoms first appeared as it warmed up, but it could be fuel
related I would start by being sure no air is leaking into the motor
tighten everything fuel related and look for cracked lines.



Thanks for all the suggestions...Got to work today but will give them a try
when I get a minute and post back with results...
