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....

My Ryobi trimmer requires 6 steps to get it to run.
1. Turn the handle toggle switch to On.
2. Press the primer bulb repeatedly until it fills with gas, then press a
couple of times more.
3. Move the lever to Start (choke?).
4. Pull the cord until the motor starts.
5. Move the lever to Run. The motor should be running at full power.
6. Wait a few seconds and press the triggers, then release, to set it to
idle.
Since my trimmer is only used a few of times a year here in the NE US, I
have to re-educate myself every year.

Ya I know what you mean..I use it about 6-8 times a year here in Maine ,
though when I do get it out I do quite an area..LOL..That's why I bought a
cheapo Ryobi..It has served well for 4 years which is about what I expected
for 90 bucks...
