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....

Had a Sthil (sp.) string trimmer that would not run after every winter
without disassembling and flushing out the carb. It was a simple 1 1/2 inch
cube of metal with ports and channels milled into it. Easy to disassemble
but one had to be careful not to lose tiny parts. Once it was done (I never
saw any dirt while cleaning) it would run fine until next spring even though
I drained and ran it dry in the fall.
