Can you get a aftermarket pre-sprung recoil rope pull ,mine broke pulled it apart and the spring went everywhere ,terrible design and if I fix I don't want to pull apart again.

What can I do to make my ryobi blower to start easier Unfortunately it takes a minimum of 6 pulls Is there a different carby to help this problem Thanks Adrian

From my research I think ryobi changed the design of the carby recently. Unfortunately the new carby design is a significant step backwards. My experience was my new blower vac started the first time. It was then difficult to start the second time and the third time I could not start it at all. If there is a remedy, I'm not aware of it. I cut my losses and chucked it in the bin. I recommend you do the same.

Can not get my blower to start, it is brand new out of the box. I exchanged it under warranty at Bunnings as the first on would not start after about one hours use.(not continuous use). My first one was always hard to start then failed completely, this one will not start from the word go. Has anyone got any answers for me.

Yeah it's hard to start, even new out of the box. Fuel it, prime it, and give it full throttle on the manual lever - SET THE CHOKE TO FULL CHOKE. Pull the starter until it sounds like it is almost going to start, then put the choke to half choke. Continue to pull the starter until it sounds like it is almost going to start, then put the choke to run. Continue to pull the starter, it should start soon.

This has been the most reliable way of getting it to start, but it's not guaranteed.

Still no go, it’s going back.

Same problem here. Had one that was impossible to start. After a couple of uses it won’t start at al. Replaced it with a new one. That one won’t start at all.

Yes, I went and spent some extra money and bought a husquvana, starts straight away.
