If your Ryobi Trimmer engine doesn't reach full speed and emits excessive smoke, it could be due to an incorrect oil/fuel mixture. Use fresh fuel and the correct 2-cycle oil mix (50:1). Another cause might be a dirty air filter, so clean it. The spark plug may also be fouled, so clean or replace it and reset the spark plug gap.
What to do if the string will not advance on Ryobi Trimmer?
If the string on your Ryobi Trimmer won't advance, try lubricating it with silicone spray if it's welded to itself. If there's not enough string on the spool, install more. You can also pull the strings while pressing down on and releasing the spool retainer if the string is worn too short. Also, make sure to advance the string at full throttle.
