My Ryobi CS30 Weed Eater has a problem. It starts OK and the shaft starts turning, but after about 30 seconds of use, the shaft stops spinning, rendering the whole thing useless. I've taken the head off and run the thing to attempt to locate the problem. The shaft stops spinning without the head as well, so my guess is it's the shft. Please help.

Find the idle speed screw (not the jet screw) and turn it CW until the engine idles without dying. If too high, the string head will turn all the time. Hope this helps
you need to replace fuel filter inside the fuel tank . fish it out with and empty tank using a coat hanger and a small hood bent on the end.filters are around $9.00
If you still don't have a spark with the new plug, then you may have a kill switch wire grounding the motor, keeping it from starting. If it's not that, then you have a bad ignition module (coil).
Unless it has a tag or decal on it saying it is a 4 cycle then it uses mixed gas/oil at about a 50:1 ratio. Straight gasoline will freeze the piston in the cylinder in mere minutes.
what model is trimmer? cs30? if you found the line on it clockwise, that's your problem. on the cs30 it rotates counterclockwise if youre looking at the head while trimmer is upside down. the line has to be wound opposite direction or your going to have a MESS of string in the head.
Good fix, mrfixit-jerr! Also, if you remove the rear cover (4 screws) you can stabilize the crankshaft by inserting a screwdriver between the lobe of the shaft and the counterweight.
