Re: My Ryobi start great but when I change it from start...
- Alow the engine to run for longer on the start setting before you switch to run
- Ensure air filter is clean. Foam elements can be washed
with hot water and detergent. Paper elements can be cleaned with
compressed air blown from the inside of the filter but ideally should be
replaced.
- Check fuel lines aren't kinked or blocked restricting fuel flow.
- Ensure fuel filter isn't dirty. This is probably located at the end of the fuel line in the tank.
- The fuel lines may have become airlocked.This can
happen if the tank is run dry. If the trimmer has a primer bulb,
alternatively press it several times and then try to pull start the
engine with choke on. Repeat this several times. The primer bulb should
feel spongy and fill with fuel.Once the engine kicks, switch to run.
