Air in fuel ryobi tiller

I replaced the fuel line coming out of the primer. It looked like the line was missing a piece but can't see anything in the tank. I ran the new line all the way to the bottome of the tank but I think I screwed that up. Now it wont seem to keep running after being primed. It looks like there may be air in the fuel line shutting this mutha down. Does that sound right? And why could that be?

You will have 2 lines at the tank. 1 is the supply line with one end having the fuel filter on it and sitting at the bottom of the tank. it generally runs to the inlet side of the carb. the output side of the carb usually goes to the primer bulb inlet, the last hose usually goes from the outlet of the primer bulb back to the fuel tank but only goes in 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch. it should only be in far enough to seal the hole and allow the fuel back in to the tank

The primer pulls fuel through the carbruetor
So take your return line from the carb. and hook it to the inlet side of the primer and the other side
of the primer bulb transtions into the fuel tank.
You know when you have hooked it up right when you press the primer it fills with fuel and dumps back into the tank.

SOURCE: Ryobi RY60511A tiller wont start

when the primer buld is empty, when pushed it should push bubbles into the gas tank and when let go should draw fuel from the tank. the primer buld now when pressed pushes fuel into the carb and should not push back to the tank. when let go again it will draw more fuel from the tank. the inlet nipple on the carb should be the 3 oclock

Ryobi Tiller, model RY60511A, will not start. Air

mine was a total pain. I yanked on the rope so many times, it flew out of the keeper,and when I replaced it I ran it UNDER the fuel tank cutting a slot in tank. I also blew out the primer bulb. AFTER the replacement tank I arrived, I discovered rolling the machine forward helped the flow to carb and did not require priming. Now I need to fix throttle cable. But all in all, a tough little machine.

Fuel pipe broken

If it is just the fuel line go to any lawn mower repair shop and get a piece of bulk fuel line and replace it. If it is the fuel primer bulb and tube here is the manual

Replacement of fuel lines

There are two lines (fuel) that run to the carb. and the primer button, one is smaller than the other. the larger line is fitted onto the larger nipple off the carb. and runs to the larger nipple on the back side of the primer button. Repeat the process for the smaller line.

Fuel lines rotted and broke. Installed new lines but unsure of proper connections.

Use the primer bulb & determine which nipple has pressure when pushed, that is the return (short line) the other is the pickup line with the fuel filter on it

Ryobi 725r 31cc

Ryobi is Japanese for "Piece of ****" My suggestion is to throw it out!
My 767r has had fuel line and carb trouble from day one. I'll never buy another Ryobi or Craftsman tool again.
