Thanks bro this’s what I came for exactly, not being proficient in small engine repair I decided to go to the tube to get what I needed thanks bro again.

Great information. Explained to a perfect understanding. A lot of people are going to benefit from this video.

[@JM-mx8dr]

LMAO

[@Spinonemaster]

Nice Video, and helpful for those not savvy with small engines ... Have the same unit ... been rebuilding these carbs with kits for 40 years with good results and still have a few universal kits laying around ... but for $13 bucks it's easier to just swap these replacement out and you're good to go in 10 minutes ... amazon also has them as kits with gaskets, fuel line/filter, bulbs and a plug for $15-17 bucks complete .... with today's ethanol fuels the inner gaskets/diaphragm and fuel lines get hard and stop working or break ....

[@MeadowgateWorks]

Yes surprising how cheap they are. I still use it since I replaced the carb, so far it runs good

[@Waynes-xt9gr]

you mention Amazon.....which seller or brand do you recommend?

[@chhomsamrach3265]

Great show and simple. Thank you.

[@BrosLoveNature]

This was so helpful! Thanks so much!

[@richardresendez2325]

Got the kit from Amazon and was able to install the carburetor and finish my yard 👍👍

[@MeadowgateWorks]

Nice

[@richardresendez2325]

Thank you so much a lot easier then i taught

[@DrBDIY]

Cool, going to try.

[@josh817]

Your adjustment screw is in the center of the throttle shaft by the way, although new carbs are so cheap I don't blame anyone for not wanting to bother

[@timmoeller1315]

Replaced my idle screw with a longer one works great!!

[@MeadowgateWorks]

Nice

[@headrush2190]

Thanks king

[@nener1980]

Thank you!!!👍🏼

Chaning the carburetor was fine, but was skipping two other steps a person should take. First thing is to make sure your filter isnt clogged in the gas tank, next step is to replace the spark plug, then if problem persist, clean the screen in your carburetor or change the carburetor. I have had two of my different ryobi weed eaters over time to start bogging down and shutting off and in both cases a spark plug fixed the problem

[@stalker7892]

When mine bogs, I just use some carb cleaner and it works fine.

[@deebo2808]

I have the same exact weed eater And the problem with mine is that once I get it started and running, as soon as I switch it to the 3rd spot (run) it bogs down soon after throttling and then shuts off. I’ve changed the spark plug, carb, fuel filter,air filter and made sure the spark arrestor works fine. Do you have any ideas what else could be my problem?

[@diego3099]

Do u know why mine turns off as soon I let go off the throttle ?

[@alankwak9652]

Tx!!!!!

[@MeadowgateWorks]

You got it

[@edthompson1727]

Nice video. I am having problems with fuel leaks around carb area. I am wondering if I should replace it ?

[@MeadowgateWorks]

Check for any cracked fuel lines and the gas tank first, also if the trimmer is left or stored on its side or upside down the carb will leak

[@Powerslave226]

Thanks for the video! I replaced the carb & fuel lines (all came in the package) and am still having this issue. Any ideas?

[@MeadowgateWorks]

Check fuel filter, make sure you have no air leak so check carb gasket, and also make sure to use 50:1 mix I know mine works a lot better on 50:1. I’ll try to think about anything else that can be an issue and let you know

[@fev3rd]

These factory ryobi carburetors are horrible. Old lady though she was saving money once.he lost the receipt and we had to wait out three before we gave up and called it a lost. I replaced the carburetor and it runs better. They look almost identical but the aftermarket one I purchased looked beefier

[@carlmeyer2318]

Can you please post the part # of the carburetor, where you bought it and approx. how much it cost??

[@MeadowgateWorks]

www.ebay.com/itm/174592929694 $12.59 Here is a link, also if you rewind to 3:29 in the video you’ll see price and part info

[@kp5106]

Yes I ordered one today, 17$ on Amazon

[@kehr60]

You have two adjustments on that carburetor the idle screw and the other one is hidden inside that brass fittings which requires a special tool a single D bit. These ry253ss need to be adjusted or rejeted for altitudes above 1000 to 2,000, or they will burn up over time.

[@2121groundzero]

I think I need to adjust the single D adjustment on mine. It stalls out when under full throttle. What do you think?

[@tomasznumrych7187]

The screw on my ry253ssvnm requires a tool called "Acircle". What does that screw control, high or low?

[@MeadowgateWorks]

Here is a link to amazon, there is a picture of acircle tool. If your ryobi has high and low adjustment you should be able to use this tool for both. www.amazon.com/HUZTL-Carburetor-Adjustment-Carburator-Adjusting/dp/B08KW8JKKL

[@MeadowgateWorks]

Could be few things and that is one of them, it’s worth of try. Also; if you haven’t recently maybe open the carb and see if it needs a cleaning.

[@user-tk6ig9jj7v]

❤

[@user-tk6ig9jj7v]

So in the short you can’t adjust the carb, have to buy one, no low , or high adjustment screw/ knobs, hidden, isn’t this a barrel carburetor? Should be adjustment

[@MeadowgateWorks]

I don’t find the adjustment screws but I think I still have the old carb, I’ll take a look again maybe it’s hidden or covered.

[@nbpt1000]

No idle adjustment needed?

[@MeadowgateWorks]

No it was good on this one

[@robrepasi7975]

so i replaced the carburetor, fuel lines, and spark plug and i can't get it started. what other reasons would it not start?

[@MeadowgateWorks]

When you prime it, do you see the fuel going into the carb? Just to make sure you plumbed the lines right.

[@MrRadio44]

@@MeadowgateWorks The hoses are correctly replaced. But after more thought I removed the new gasket provided that did not have the air hole in the correct position. Put back the original and I then managed to start it but it would not idle. It shut off. I could not start it again. I’m out off reasons why.

[@nyaswed1520]

[@frankjgornickjr3676]

The idol was still too high it was nice that it idled but it was too high! PS why didn't you just try cleaning the other carburetor first?

[@MeadowgateWorks]

Didn’t want to mess with since new one is so cheap that is all

[@mrodriguez5259]

Es mejor nuevo y barato,por experiencia,te felicito

[@xVoidCypher]

Do you know of any places I could lubricate on the machine as preventative maintenance?

[@MeadowgateWorks]

I think the only place would be shaft where different implements are attached

[@xVoidCypher]

@@MeadowgateWorks yeah. I've seen people suggest the head of the trimmer too and potentially the gearbox up behind the throttle. I've had mine for 5 years now and I'm getting ready to do a pm overhaul. Any suggestions on what sort of lubricant to use?

[@olddirtyburt7522]

there should be a bolt on your trimmer head or attachments. That bolt is to be taken off and gear lube is to be placed in there. Its not one of the bolts that hold onto the tools head, rather its distinct and different from those. Echo has a bottle of lkube and a tip to go right in there.

[@nboudreaux07]

Mine is brand new out of the box and I can not get it started!!

[@MeadowgateWorks]

If you had tried too many times to pull the cord the engine might be flooded with gas, try this: choke off, hold the throttle down then pull the cord until it starts. It might take 20, 30, 40 pulls. What this will do is dry the engine and hopefully start.

[@Scorpio-tn4vy]

This wasn't a repair it was a replacement. New carbs gotta be adjusted so might as well fix what you got.

[@josh32tripple1]

Or just adjust the idle and full throttle positions? Waste a whole carburetor instead of turning two screws.

[@MeadowgateWorks]

I did try adjusting idle before putting on the card but it didn’t work. Also there is no high or low adjustment screws on this carb just idle.

[@MeadowgateWorks]

@@zoomkatvideo I’ll have to check it out

[@oluwabiyi30]

I changed my carburetor and spark plug still my edger wont start. Does this mean my edger is dead. Am getting frustrated and am about to throw it away more so its only been almost 3 years i had it.

[@MeadowgateWorks]

If you have everything hooked up correct, try putting in run not choke or half choke, press the throttle lever and hold it then pull the cord up maybe even 20-30 times and see if it starts.

[@ibrahimalihodzic9382]

Give me the old carb. I’ll clean it and we’ll have a spare lol.

[@MeadowgateWorks]

Ok I will

[@mrfaux72]

cant hear what you say

[@MeadowgateWorks]

Sorry, need a microphone

[@MeadowgateWorks]

Also; I didn’t speak in this video, only visual and some text on the screen.

[@russlogan181]

Annoying music 🎶 why?

[@AshleyKellum]

You didn't diagnose the issue with the carburetor you didn't check to see what might be wrong with the carburetor or check anything else you did like 90% of people do they just throw the old carburetor away and go how are you learning to fix anything how are you showing us anything when all you're doing is just swapping out

[@MeadowgateWorks]

You are right, at the time I just wanted to replace it. I still have the old one.

[@russlogan181]

Settle down

[@masonmatvich2610]

Relax, the parts for the old carburetor would probably cost more than the replacement by itself anyways. Want to learn how it works? go take yours apart and put it back together or watch a video on carburetor repair. You clearly watched enough of the video to bitch. You should’ve saved your time and watched a video strictly on carb rebuilds

[@stellabuildingservices5974]

What is the part number for the carburetter

[@diego3099]

Do u know why mine turns off as soon I let go off the throttle ?

[@MeadowgateWorks]

Check the idle screw maybe try to screw it in a little to give more idle
