Full choke until it tries to start, half choke until it does, and once it's running, open the choke fully and wait a few seconds for it to warm up before using it, as well as 15-20 seconds to let it cool down before shutting it off so as not to warp any metal parts of the engine
It sounds like more of a carburetor issue but out of curiosity did they say why they thought it was a compression issue? Although craftsman is a little high on their parts a lot of the aftermarket parts such as a carburetor a lot of times are not all that expensive. I can't imagine you'd have all that many hours on it unless you use it commercially to warrant a compression issue. Might be worth a try.
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
sounds like a carb problem You will have to take the carb off and strip it down to parts clean out all the ports with a good cleaner I use brake clean reassemble and reset the High speed and low speed jets at 1.5 turns out then adjust from there
Yes, the throttle should be in the full in position. When starting, the choke should also be in the full on position. If you can't tell if it is in the closed or open position, remove the cover that is over the carb where the air filter is and you should be able to see which way you move the lever for the closed or open position and mark it where you can see it. When starting put the throttle full on and the choke also in the full on position. It should usually start and stop right away. Now move the choke to the full off position keep the throttle in the full on position and it should start in 2 or 3 pulls. If it doesn't do the procedure again. While you have the cover off the carb check the air filter and if it is very dirty replace it or clean it off because a really dirty air filter could make it run rough or not start at all. I will gladly answer any questions. Best regards and good luck.
it sounds like your throttle cable is to long i have the same problem with mine... when starting up pull the throttle full on with your finger whilst you have it set on choke. best to do this on a very flat surface.
steps in adjusting a carb
1 take off the air filter case you'r carb will be under it
2 move choke lever to full choke the float should be closed
move to to half choke there should be a small gap then move to run
float should be all the way open
3 there is one more float in the back of the carb it uses a screw to open and shut the screw should be almost completely screwed in
4 put air filter case back on and if the problem is not fixed then its not your carb and is most likely in need of a new air filter,has bad gas or the fly wheel is not inline with the armature
