Can not restart weedeater once it's stopped!

My Ryobi weekeater starts easily but when I stop it to replace line it will not restart. I have replaced the spark plug but that didn't help. I was told that it might be due to the spark arrestor but don't even know if it has one. Why is it easy to start but it will not restart for about an hour or two?

Try starting it without the choke when hot; the engine will not need the extra fuel if it is already warmed up - thus causing a flooded condition.

If that doesn't resolve your issue, try avoiding inverting the unit to replace the spool. You may have a carb needle valve that is not sealing correctly; inverting the unit could then be allowing excessive fuel to leak into the intake port and flooding it. If this works, the needle valve inside the carburetor will need to be cleaned and/or replaced.

Hi My 2005 Same Dorado 85 Tractor. It starts from cold easily first time around. But once the engine has been running for several minutes it stops.

sounds like you could have a coolant temp sensor issue. If it senses the engine temperature higher than it actually is, it will tell the engine computer to shut down.

Also I'm not showing an 05 Eldorado, if you could give the correct information for your car, it would be very helpful

Easy way to install fuel line and primer bulb return line into gas tank

Chainsaw fuel lines enter the gas tank from holes in top of tank. They are sized for a tight fit to prevent leakage. Make it easy on yourself when pushing the line through the tank by cutting a long lengthwise taper cut with razor knife 3 inches or longer to easily feed through that tight hole. Once started you will then have to grab it through the gas cap hole with needle nose pliers, then cut the tapered end flush and add fuel filter. Readjust inside length by pulling from above, then cut to length to upper carb fitting. If connecting to primer bulb a filter is not required and make sure the line goes to fitting on primer bulb marked tank.

Electric ryobi weedeater with good battery won't start

Ryobi Trimmers unscrew halfway down the shaft (so it fits in the box). If this gets loose, the trimmer will stop working. Simply tighten the connection between the upper and lower half.

Stihl weed eater runs 2min. then stop

Stihl weedeater was running and stopped suddenly. Put in a new fuel filter and cleaner air filter with soap and water. Checked spark plug and it appeared fine. Started the weedeater, ran for a second or so and stopped. Spark plug wasn't gas fouled. Could it be the carburetor needing new diaphram gasket and spring.
