I had a ryobi trimmer that wouldn’t crank. Newer than the one you had. I replaced the carburetor and fuel lines but it still wouldn’t crank. After watching your video , I used the acetone and brake cleaner but it still wouldn’t crank. So I took it apart again and noticed that one of the bolts that held the cylinder head on was loose. So I tighten the bolt down and also cleaned the exhaust port and tried the acetone and brake cleaner again. And it finally cranked! Thanks to your video I didn’t give up and it’s working fine now. Thanks.

You are very welcome and I'm glad yours worked out well. Thank you and Thanks for watching 🔧👍

[@baddad5781]

I have to say these videos on this trimmer were really educational and well done. I never knew carbon could build up that bad but I'm still learning. Thanks for sharing with us and I wish you well with your eye issues. Make more repair videos when you can.

[@gravelyman]

Thank you very much. I appreciate your comment and concern for my eyes. Thanks for watching my friend 🔧 👍

[@haneyoakie14]

I knew you would solve it Arty, I will head back home, I was on my way to deep dive into this project. 👍🏻

[@gravelyman]

Thank you my friend. Cheers!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

[@deanbarr5740]

Glad you gotter figured out gravelyman. Helpful video sir.

[@gravelyman]

Thank you very much and Thanks for watching 👍

[@simonwiggle1791]

Wow it looks as if I was right Artie.. The piston crown runs very close to the squish band so a small amount of carbon can easily cause that issue.. Well done and great videos..

[@gravelyman]

Yes Sir you were right Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. As always Thanks for watching 👍

[@TheBandit93]

Hey Artie I hope all is well with you my good friend. Nice job get your Ryobi weed eater back in good running order. Those 2 stokes can be a bugger to work on sometimes they are so finicky especially when your udjusting on the carburetor. I like Ryobi a have had a few Ryobi's and I know some people that also have Ryobi equipment and they do preform well. Thanks for sharing this video I enjoyed it. Take care my friend and stay well. 👍👍🔧🔧

[@gravelyman]

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Excellent Artie well done 👏 sounds good 👍

[@gravelyman]

Thanks Nev. I didn't expect it to be carbon build up. Thanks for watching 👍

[@mr1pearl]

Great community when you can get the edge on a problem with the right nudge in the right direction ! I will log this in the old memory bank 👍

[@gravelyman]

Yes Bill Clement Yes we have a great community here. Carbon build up made alot of Sense to me. Thanks for watching 👍

[@DIYVariety]

Wonderful artie, great job and thanks for great subs hey

[@gravelyman]

Thank you and your welcome 👍

[@michaelhardee6708]

Glad you followed up. I have the exact issue. I bought 2 ryobi trimmers thinking I could fix it. I had it all apart and can't see an issue. I will try the acetone and see if it works. I am still confused how the carbon build up would create the pressure.

[@gravelyman]

The carbon build up made to much compression. It seems to be ok for now. Thanks for watching and good luck 👍

[@KentuckyFriedFixes]

I knew you'd get it! Another mystery solved!

[@gravelyman]

Thanks Chris. I appreciate your support as well and Thanks for watching 👍

[@ex8280]

There's nothing like the sound of a dead trimmer coming alive.

[@gravelyman]

That's for sure. Thanks for watching 👍

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

well done on the fix arthur thanks lee

[@gravelyman]

Thanks Lee 👍

[@henrymurawskibigdogrepair]

Well done Arthur told you you’d get her done

[@gravelyman]

Thank you Henry. I don't like giving up lol 👍

[@4sl648]

Artie you are the Columbo of power equipment! Do you have to use Ethanol fuels there in NJ or can you access non eth fuel? im wondering if type of fuel or what 2 cycle oil might have an effect on carbon build up or prevention. Thanks for an engaging mystery.

[@gravelyman]

Thank you. That's a problem here, you can't buy ethanol free pump gas here. Thanks for watching 👍

[@4sl648]

@@gravelyman we can get it here in VT at some stations but its as expensive as diced lions. I do spend the extra for it in my power equipment. Not sure at all about it being a factor, actually youd think that ethanol would help prevent carbon. I hope the unit runs well from here on out for you.

[@Turningwrenches85]

Yay mystery is solved looks like carbon was the culprit

[@gravelyman]

Thank you John. It was the first time I ever saw that happen. Thanks for watching my friend 🔧👍

[@moonshine5757]

What is the can of acetone that you purchased? Sharing the exact solution would be helpful.

[@gravelyman]

I bought it at Walmart. Thanks for watching 👍

[@cmalarkey3721]

So could you just put the acetone into the spark plug hole without removing anything besides the spark plug?

[@gravelyman]

Sure. You can do that and let it sit overnight. Thanks for watching 👍

How to get my engine 49cc running

[@JahiemStanford]

My engine 49cc not running how to get it running

[@gravelyman]

It's hard to explain in a comment. Look back in my previous videos. Thanks 👍

[@ex8280]

Not running is a vague comment. so If won't start at all, even after shooting starter fluid into the Air filter hole, it's generally a spark issue(sparkplug, or coil), If it starts and it stalls, than it will be a fuel or air issue, as those are the two ingredient to get the engine going. IF that's the case, check your fuel line to see if it's in good condition, if yoru fuel line is crumbling/cracking, it might mean the fuel is bad, and the fuel filter, line and gas, needs replacing, If that doesn't work, gently take apart the carburetor, making sure all the gasket is in tact, and then get some carburetor cleaner and spray all the holes you can find in the metal parts. Focus mainly on a little tiny metal mesh/screen that is there. If that doesn't work, find the exhaust, and take that apart, and look for a metal screen call the spark arrester, take that and torch it til it glows red to burn off all the oil (I personally just soak it in old gas and brush it clean with a toothbrush) . If all this doesn't work, there is a screw on your carburetor, tightening it a couple turns and try to start it. If it started, you just wasted all your time fixing something that's not broke. LOL. I did this to all three of my dad's dead trimmer, and now all of them works on first pull. But one thing that my dad does and the reason why his machine is able to work after is a simple maintenance, is using oil rich fuel. It's bad, but not as bad as having no oil in the fuel. So 40:1 is better than 50:1.

[@cfonvip5151]

You didn't solve any problem. when the engine warms up, restart right up. IT'S JUST TO MUCH COMPRESION that you reliefs without the spark plug.

[@gravelyman]

Thanks for watching

[@ShivanKishan]

How do we fix too much compression?
