SOURCE: ryobi weed eater ONLY RUNS WITH CHOKE ON HALF WAY
Check the carb jets, they might be a gummed up!
SOURCE: i have a ryobi weed eater clean carb change filter
I have the same problem. It will run if I put it halfway between Half Choke and Full Choke. But, just dies if I put it on Run or Half Choke. Don't ever loan your WE to anyone, They might just try to run it on straight gas--That is what happened on another week eater that I had.
SOURCE: starts but will not run
you are right, check your fuel filter, fresh gas and clean your carb out,also check your exhaust screen for being plugged, also a bad fuel cap could cause this, if the cap is not venting

if the choke needs to stay on to run it then there is a plugged jet in the carb
This sounds much like poor car settings ( set too lean ) you need to richen up the L and H screw on the carb, unfortunatley there will be anti tamper sleeves on the carb or a special tool reqired to adjust them, turning the screws anti clockwise will richen the mixture if you manage to remove the caps or get hold of the apropriate tool.
