  If the Ryobi Trimmer engine won't start, there could be several reasons. First, check for spark by removing the spark plug, reattaching the cap, and laying it on the metal cylinder. Pull the starter rope and look for a spark at the tip. If there's no spark, try again with a new spark plug. Another possibility is a lack of fuel. Push the primer bulb until it's full; if it doesn't fill, the fuel delivery system may be blocked, requiring professional attention. Lastly, the engine might be flooded. Remove the spark plug, point the hole towards the ground, rotate the choke dial to “ ” position, and pull the starter cord 10 to 15 times to clear excess fuel. Clean and reinstall the spark plug, then try starting again.

  If your Ryobi Trimmer engine starts, runs, and accelerates but will not idle, the idle speed screw on the carburetor likely requires adjustment. To fix this, turn the idle speed screw clockwise to increase the idle speed.

  If the Ryobi Trimmer engine does not reach full speed and emits excessive smoke, check the lubricant fuel mixture. It is recommended to use fresh fuel and the correct 2-stroke lubricant mix. Also, the air filter might be dirty. Clean the air filter.

What to do if the line will not advance on Ryobi Trimmer?
- B

  If the line of your Ryobi Trimmer will not advance, there are several potential causes. The line might be welded to itself, in which case you should lubricate it with silicone spray. Alternatively, there might not be enough line on the spool, so install more line. The line could also be worn too short; pull the lines while alternately pressing down on and releasing the bump head. Another possibility is that the line is tangled on the spool, so remove the line from the spool and rewind it. Finally, the engine speed might be too slow, so advance the line at full throttle.
