How to troubleshoot a Ryobi Blower that will not start?
- R
  Robin BoydAug 3, 2025
  If your Ryobi Blower engine won't start, there could be several reasons: 1. **No spark:** Check for spark by removing the spark plug, reattaching the spark plug cap, and laying the spark plug on the metal cylinder. Pull the starter rope and watch for a spark at the spark plug tip. If there's no spark, try again with a new spark plug. 2. **No fuel:** Push the primer bulb until fuel is visible. If no fuel is apparent, the primary fuel delivery system might be blocked, and you should contact a servicing dealer. If the primer bulb fills, the engine may be flooded.

  If your Ryobi Blower engine does not reach full speed and emits excessive smoke, consider the following: 1. **Incorrect oil/fuel mixture:** Use fresh fuel and the correct 2-stroke oil mix. 2. **Dirty air filter:** Clean the air filter; refer to the section in this manual about replacing and cleaning the air filter. 3. **Dirty spark arrestor screen or carburetor requiring adjustment:** Contact a servicing dealer.
