carburetor

I have a ry29550, it will crank, but won't
stay running, is this something I could fix?

Hi Kent,

It sounds like the engine is not receiving enough fuel. Probably due to a carburetor that is plugged with dirt or old fuel. You can try removing it and cleaning it. A complete rebuild is difficult as Ryobi does not offer any parts for the carb. You might consider simply replacing the carb. It is part #308054013 and is available from http://www.ereplacementparts.com .

Good luck with your repair!

I just bought a new RY29550 and have the same problem. When I hold the carb at half choke, it runs at what I would expect at full speed. No idle, No Running without manually manipulating the choke. Its new, less than two hours on the motor! Tired of messing with it.

Today, Ryobitools.com site is down. No Service nor help links.

Not happy purchasing my first Ryobi and considering returning it as a lemon.
