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....


Hi,
Fuel tank air vent?


Yes. Good point. Try running it with the fuel cap slackened off.


Thanks , I'll try that...The vent is in the cap , correct ???
