I have a Ryobi CS30 (RY30530). It was produced in 2008 and has always been a good trimmer, until it started acting up. My problem is exactly as follows:
Step 1 - Put the trimmer in "Start Mode" or "Choke" and press primer bulb any number of times.
Step 2 - Pull the Starter 3 times and it starts up nicely, but the engine does not sound right
Here is where the problems start.
- When i do to take the trimmer out of "choke" by pressing the throttle, the engine will cut off. This happens when I tap the throttle and get the trimmer into idle.
- When i take the trimmer from idle and into full throttle, it will run at the same speed even though the engine should have doubled speed.
- If i then let go of the throttle and quickly go back into full throttle, it will not speed up, it will half its speed and then shut off after a repeat
- If i take it and try to use the trimmer in "choke", then the engine will slow down, both engine and trimmer thread, with each blade of grass i cut.
- If i try to start the trimmer in anything besides choke, the engine will not start
-There are the occasional times where i will hear a very high pitched sound as you walk away from the trimmer that sounds as it is going to explode
Here are the service repairs in the life of the machine:
- Replaced Fuel Line (Yesterday)
- Replaced Primer Bulb (Yesterday)
- Replaced Fuel with a brand new mix and new gas (Yesterday)
- Replaced Spark Plug (Yesterday)
Things i have tried to fix the Problem:
- Cleaned entire carburetor and looked for any obstructions
- Replaced parts above
- Changed idle screw in all possible positions
- Tried the trimmer with and without the fuel line filter
This trimmer may have about 200 hours at most on it. I would love to figure this out, so all suggestions are appreciated! Please help!
