This 2 stroke engine was playing up so we stripped down the carb and found a broken inlet manifold and the carb had been messed about with. I cleaned the carb and then set it up in this video. Let's see how it turned out.

When I buy second hand ryobi rht2660da and similar homelite mighty version I now check the dam and carb and cylinder for scores as broken dam will make start very hard nice to see you do the video mart as there's loads of these about and not if any video on them

[@normsmowers4758]

Master at work again lol not my favourites two strokes 👌👍

[@STTC]

Fiddle fairies at it again were they Martin? to use Micks expression. Shipping is a real blight on any good deal but alot overcharge on P&P. Great video, superb picture

[@mushthatzme]

Ryobi...... "flyobie" here 😂 can't stand them personally. Looks like you got a live one there! 😉👍

[@davidthehillbilly7995]

Martin, you're an absolute Wizard at fixing things. Want to do us all a favor and have a go at stupid????

[@paulstir]

Martin my stihl strimmer fs55 bogs down on high speed ( after it’s been running for 5 mins or so ) so when it’s hot ? ( I have threw everything at it , new position carb cleaned new gaskets ( it’s around 5 years old had very decent use out of it )

[@themowerman]

I know you love 2 strokes personally I'm more of a 4 stroke kind of guy.. lol . Good job mate

[@retrorestore]

I do the lot Mick lol

[@terryatkinson3182]

I wonder if ryobi still sell 4 strokes with nylon camshafts? Total junk as you have to buy the whole head when it melts, which costs about 90 euro ☹👎

[@themowerman]

@@terryatkinson3182 yeah I know.. I did a video on one once..

[@michaeldominy2084]

Good job, nice video, I like it. Do you have any idea why one would only start and run using some engine start.?🤔😊

[@retrorestore]

Not getting fuel into the engine. Maybe a carb issue

[@michaeldominy2084]

@@retrorestore Many thanks for that info, I will strip the carb’ although it is the first time I used it last week after emptying the fuel and carb’ last winter. But hey, anything can happen if things aren’t ok.😊😊

[@Mr_Judge_Benny_Hinn]

That carb looks like Robbie the robot

Have you got a link for mower magic matey I need a couple of dams for my ryobi as you know they get broken off and a bugger to replace 😉

On mine it says it should be 50/1 mix does it matter great video I have a new carb and fuel lines coming rgdsP

[@retrorestore]

50/1 is fine, I like to run mine on a stronger mix 40/1

Hi Martin is that not the same hedge trimmer garry was playing about with a few months ago?? Great job getting it going 👏!!

[@retrorestore]

Yes it is lol

[@shaney2000]

It least u got it running Martin, that's the difference between the Master and the Apprentice!!!!!🤣😂🤣😂. Guess you have more to teach him!!!!!!.

[@nathanhuitson1418]

Hello mate, hope all is well, I have the same hedge trimmer, won’t start at all, unless I put fuel down it’s head then it run for a few seconds then cut outs, have changed the gaskets and diaphragms, I’m unable to touch the screws because I haven’t got the tool for it, hoping you can give me some guidance to where I’m going wrong please, thank you

[@retrorestore]

It's obviously not getting fuel. You can buy a co.plete Chinese carb off ebay for about 10 quid, I'd try that.

[@nathanhuitson1418]

@@retrorestore I have just ordered one bud, fingers crossed it works, thank you

[@nathanhuitson1418]

Hi Martin I’m not really one to comment I watch a lot of videos and the small engines and I watch Malcolm of Lincoln With the tractor and the Lister d I’m not really one for social media just KZbin videos iwas a bit worried about not seeing the videos from Malcolm was just wondering if you’ve heard or seen him many thanks Reece from Essex

[@retrorestore]

Funny enough, I was driving through Lincoln last week and saw him in his electric chair doing some shopping. He looked ok to me.

[@reeceinns98]
