My Ryobi strimmer will not start. It has never started easily (from new), requiring many pulls. Now it will not start at all
I have a Qualcast strimmer which starts very easily, but it is heavier and I prefer the Ryobi when it starts. However, I am losing patience with it.

full choke on , push petrol bubble 5 times then pull starter cord., with luck it will kick in to life after a 20/30 secs put on half choke , run again for 30 secs the no ckoke.
The main problem with Ryobi products is that they flood very very easly. So the more time you try and pump petrol into the carb the more it will flood . If that happenes then choke off and switch off and then just pull starter cord for about 30 secs then switch on and it could start if not prime it again as above good luck
its probabley your throttle cable , try pulling the throttle full on when you starting up the trimmer word of warning though only do this on a very flat surface..
Hi,
The plug that I have in my 720r is a Champion RDJ7Y. Can I suggest that you pull the old plug out and look to see which one you have? Also when you buy the new replacement it should already be gapped for what you need.
Good luck!
Clean the carb wire gauze air filter behind the roto-choke knob. (undo the nut/washers & long bolt)
Deteremine if fuel is being fed to cylinder - Fully depress & prime the bulb about 7 times, turn to full choke. Pull start cord about 7 times. Remove spark plug see/smell fuel fumes/vapour present in cylinder
Determine if compression is weak - remove plug, put finger over plug port, pull start cord. Should be evident of resistance/pressure build up when cord is pulled.
Of course brand new plug!!! as above (I would try this first)
Hope this helps
please rate my comments - Thanks
