How to fix a Ryobi Trimmer that won't start?
- R
  Randy VasquezAug 8, 2025
  If your Ryobi Trimmer engine won't start, there could be several reasons: * **No spark:** Clean or replace the spark plug and reset the spark plug gap. * **No fuel:** Push the primer bulb until it's full of fuel. If it doesn't fill, the primary fuel delivery system might be blocked, so contact a service dealer. If the primer bulb fills, the engine may be flooded. * **Engine is flooded:** Set the start lever to the START position, squeeze the trigger, and repeatedly pull the rope until the engine starts. Note that depending on how flooded the engine is, you might need to pull the rope multiple times.
