I have two Ryobi 2 cycle string trimmers, one is an older model 790r, the other is a newer one but not sure what model. They both crank easily enough, and idle ok but as soon as you give them any throttle at all, they want to die. I mean just like you hit the kill switch. What's up with them?? It sounds like a air/fuel mixture issue to me.
One the older 790r, the foam air filter was soaked with oil/gas mixture so I tried cranking it with the filter off and it runs a bit better, but still wants to die when you barely crack the throttle.
Have not tried adjusting any of the mixture screws. Any ideas?? Thanks!
