Old Gas No Start, Ryobi Pressure Washer-The Fix!

[@mk8530]

I would add - when you are finished washing, let the old gas burn out. It's easer. ...and that's the thing I always forget to do. Thank you MI-Tinker! saved me 50 bucks!

[@mi-tinker]

Great! Thanks for watching

[@johnbolt665]

New gas and starting fluid is the easy fix best case scenario

[@mi-tinker]

yep. fast too.

[@TylerThomas-l9l]

Just got mine working from your video

[@mi-tinker]

Good to hear... glad it helped!

[@paulverrilli4899]

Great video. Followed these steps for the 2019 RY803001 model and worked perfect! Did not need to do the starting fluid. Used ethanol free 4 stroke gas from Home depot.

[@mi-tinker]

Great to hear!

[@bryanm7953]

Thx for yhe quick vid. It started after following your steps.

[@mi-tinker]

Glad you got it running!

[@2112Xeno]

[@mi-tinker]

[@mi-tinker]

Thank you...Glad it helped!

[@deoeers]

thanks for the vid. i’m in australia and thought i’d share that the most popular “starting fluid” here has the catchy product name “Start ya bastard”.

[@mi-tinker]

LOL, I like that!!

[@johnbolt665]

Been down this road, ethanol is terrible and can get so bad you have to remove the carburetor, I found this out when it was snowing hard, and I went to fire up my snow blower, you should use the best gas you can get maybe even use stabilizer, and also on any machine with a fuel shut off and run it until it quits!

[@mi-tinker]

Agreed...

[@hectorramirez1808]

Tried starting mine yesterday after it had been sitting for over a year. Gonna try this today, but ethanol free gas is really not available here that I no of. Any suggestions would help.

[@matthewnelson4319]

You can buy it at most hardware or automotive supply stores. In comes in a can and has quite a long shelf life.

[@mi-tinker]

Did you get it started? If you can't find rec gas, draining old gas, put a gas stabilizer in you gas can before adding it back into the tank. That will help extend the life of the fuel for a few months.

[@MrAlternation]

great info! i just bought one of these used on facebook market for $40

[@mi-tinker]

Nice find! Thanks for watching and subscribing!

[@charliebravo5562]

Thank you

[@mi-tinker]

You're welcome!

[@macdisciple]

Disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor and drain the fuel line.

[@mk8530]

Where do I find "Tinker Tips " #1 and #2 ?????

[@mi-tinker]

keep watching: #1 is at 2:26 and #2 is at 2:54 😉

[@therrienmichael08]

The oil you do not change ?

[@mi-tinker]

Thanks for the question. Since the machine was only used once last season, there was no need to change the oil. If you use the machine a lot during the year, yearly oil changes would be a good idea.

[@playittiltheend]

I tried everything, but what worked for me was simply squeezing the rubber fuel line a couple of times and then it started right up

[@mi-tinker]

Glad it worked for you!

[@TheWinterfan]

You're also not supposed to run it without water or you'll damage the pump

[@mi-tinker]

@TheWinterfan Thanks for sharing with others.

[@--RSL--]

What is everyone talking about that unit looked new, the gas looked clean.. what did u actually do? 😂😂

[@mi-tinker]

Easy... yes, It was a new machine used once in previous season... 5 months later the ethanol blended gas was no good... carb. had gunk build up. Drain old gas, put more stable gas (rec. gas no ethanol) in it... spray carb with starter fluid. pull starter cord and fixed. 😉

[@primestar2001]

There's a SPIDER!!!
