Ryobi 30 Cubic Centimeter Curved Shaft Gas Trimmer Logo
Anonymous Posted on Aug 03, 2013

I have a Ryobi weed eater (the kind with the attachments) that stalls out when I pull the trigger. I can use it in low gear but it is much slower work.

SOURCE: ryobi weed eater will only run if i hold the choke down

Mine won't spin up till it is good and warm. Check the end of the fuel line in the gas tank to see if it is clogged or dirty or slimey. Make sure the end has not fallen off.

SOURCE: remove head to restring

you need to locate the black knob at the trimmer head and turn it coun ter clockwise and remove it to access your string spool you may have to chase the knob with pliers because some are more than hand tight
follow arrow on the spool for line winding direction

My Ryobi weed eater the head of the weed eater is hard to turn and the engine doesn't want to turn it

problem most likely is that the cable drive for the head is twisted up inside the tube and jamming the operation
you have 2 options
remove the head from the tube and pull the cable out or
remove the tube from the power head and pull the cable out that way
new cables are available from your local mower shop
if the cable guides inside the tube are damaged , consider replacing the bent tube with a straight tube , then you can use more attachments for the head

Starting procedure

Terry: According to eHow.com:

"
  • Put on a pair of safety glasses. Remove the fuel cap from the Weed Eater and set it aside. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline that has been mixed with quality 2-stroke oil in a 40:1 ratio. Replace the fuel cap.
  • Move the Weed Eater to a safe place and lay it flat on the ground. Depress the fuel bulb located beneath the carburetor approximately six times to prime the engine. Press it slowly so that fuel has adequate time to traverse the fuel line.
  • Slide the handlebar-mounted engine "On/Stop" switch to the "On" position. Slide the choke lever beneath the fuel tank to the "Full" position.
  • Depress the "Throttle Lock" lever located beside the engine "On/Stop" switch. Keeping the lever depressed, squeeze the throttle trigger. Release the throttle lock. This sequence holds the trigger in the depressed position, which aids in starting the Weed Eater.
  • Roll the Weed Eater so that it is resting on the engine and the trimmer head shield only. This will allow the spinning trimmer head to avoid contact with the ground. Brace the Weed Eater by holding it to the ground with one hand. Using your other hand, pull the starter rope quickly until the engine begins to run. Do not pull the rope more than a dozen times. If it fails to start by then, squeeze the throttle trigger and continue to pull until the engine starts.
  • Allow the Weed Eater to warm up for about 15 seconds, then slide the choke lever to the "Off" position. Let the trimmer run for another minute without touching the throttle lever. After the Weed Eater has warmed up, squeeze the throttle trigger once to disengage the throttle lock. The trimmer is now operational.

    MY RYOBI S430 WITH THE EGDE ATTCHMENT WILL NOT RUN UP TO FULL SPEED. IT BOGS DOWN AND STALLS. RUNS FINE WITH THE WEED EATER ATTACHMENT. THANKS RON

    too much drag on the edger, try putting some oil or lubricant spray where the edger spins on the attachment.

    Ryobi weed eater head won't spin

    Sounds like the clutch has taken a long trip south. If the clutch pads are not wore out, try some wd40 on the pad hinges.
