Sounds like the air screws need adjusted on the carburator. If there are 2 the one with the L above needs to be turned althe way to the right but not to tight and then backed out 1/2 turn to left. The one with the H anove it do the same except back it out 1 and 1/4 turns to left. If it only has 1 screw dot he same but back out 2 complete turns. Hope this helps?

I have a petrol hedge trimmer TRY26PHTA. The engine will start fine but the blades will not move

If the engine starts 'fine" then it has not seized.

Many, if not most, hedge trimmers are , for safety, equipped with a "CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH" between the engine and the blade to prevent blade operation unless the engine is at full RPM.

IF your machine is so equipped, it's possible that the clutch is worn and slipping so badly that the blade can't move.

I Have a 26 cc ryobi hedge trimmer. I cannot find any where to oil the thing. I've just been oiling the blades. I know its a 2 cycle but shouldn't there be some where to oil the blades other than dir

check to see if there is any holes in top or bottom of bar to grease or oil, if not there should be screws on bar to remove cover to gain access to blades, also on bottom of engine there is a cover useully with 2-3 screws holding it in. remove cover to grease gear mechanism, do not remove gears inside.

Hedge trimmer starts fine then stops after 5 minutes

Carburetor high speed adjustment ( screw nearest the filter ) open ( counterclockwise ) 1/2 turn.
Adjust again as needed to run when hot.
make sure the gas mixture ratio is as required.
