@@retrorestore I'm still struggling to film anything this week. I've almost finished my week of 7 days. They have been 12ish until 9ish. So get up get ready come home go ti bed. Jenny has been ill this week as well although she is now on the mend.
When I buy second hand ryobi rht2660da and similar homelite mighty version I now check the dam and carb and cylinder for scores as broken dam will make start very hard nice to see you do the video mart as there's loads of these about and not if any video on them
Thanks for sharing that one Martin ive got the Ryobi multi tool strimmer had it for many years so i know what to do now if I get any problems spot on 👍👍👍👍
Fiddle fairies at it again were they Martin? to use Micks expression. Shipping is a real blight on any good deal but alot overcharge on P&P. Great video, superb picture
@@retrorestore Many thanks for that info, I will strip the carb’ although it is the first time I used it last week after emptying the fuel and carb’ last winter. But hey, anything can happen if things aren’t ok.😊😊
I had a ryobi 4stroke trimmer and the camshaft melted as it's made from nylon😭 my ryobi battery drill died and the battery no longer charges, I'm not a fan of ryobi now....
Hello mate, hope all is well, I have the same hedge trimmer, won’t start at all, unless I put fuel down it’s head then it run for a few seconds then cut outs, have changed the gaskets and diaphragms, I’m unable to touch the screws because I haven’t got the tool for it, hoping you can give me some guidance to where I’m going wrong please, thank you
Martin my stihl strimmer fs55 bogs down on high speed ( after it’s been running for 5 mins or so ) so when it’s hot ? ( I have threw everything at it , new position carb cleaned new gaskets ( it’s around 5 years old had very decent use out of it )
Hi Martin I’m not really one to comment I watch a lot of videos and the small engines and I watch Malcolm of Lincoln With the tractor and the Lister d I’m not really one for social media just UA-cam videos iwas a bit worried about not seeing the videos from Malcolm was just wondering if you’ve heard or seen him many thanks Reece from Essex
@@retrorestore hi Martin thank you so much I like watching his videos because he makes me laugh with his back street mechanic attitude and was worried after he had the first Covid Injection he started to go downhill I was just a little bit worried because I put no videos up anyway sorry to here about your granddaughter god bless that day was my b day I have had 21 years of illness Through the horrible C word that was got cut out But it’s all the infections it’s left me with they’re waiting for another up to come up and the only way they can get into me he’s either through my side or back as my belly is now frozen through being open 10+ times Ps I love your dogs I hope the training is working bless him and I’m so sorry to hear about Barney many thanks forgetting back to me Reece of Essex

Nice work Martin, can't beat the the sound of a two stroke. 👍
Absolutely

Fiddle fairies at it again were they Martin? to use Micks expression. Shipping is a real blight on any good deal but alot overcharge on P&P. Great video, superb picture
Amazing stuff Martin packing my stuff in the van for you to sort out 🤣🤣
😁
Good job, nice video, I like it. Do you have any idea why one would only start and run using some engine start.?🤔😊
Not getting fuel into the engine. Maybe a carb issue
@@retrorestore Many thanks for that info, I will strip the carb’ although it is the first time I used it last week after emptying the fuel and carb’ last winter. But hey, anything can happen if things aren’t ok.😊😊
Ryobi...... "flyobie" here 😂 can't stand them personally. Looks like you got a live one there! 😉👍
Martin, always busy 👍
Great job Martin I've been working on the same one today 👍
Great share Martin , Fixed it right up !
cheers Shawn
Lovely job Martin, all the best 👍
Many thanks
On mine it says it should be 50/1 mix does it matter great video I have a new carb and fuel lines coming rgdsP
50/1 is fine, I like to run mine on a stronger mix 40/1
Master at work again lol not my favourites two strokes 👌👍
Good job Martin.
Have you got a link for mower magic matey I need a couple of dams for my ryobi as you know they get broken off and a bugger to replace 😉
Here you go Vince www.mowermagic.co.uk/
I know you love 2 strokes personally I'm more of a 4 stroke kind of guy.. lol . Good job mate
I do the lot Mick lol
I wonder if ryobi still sell 4 strokes with nylon camshafts? Total junk as you have to buy the whole head when it melts, which costs about 90 euro ☹👎
@@terryatkinson3182 yeah I know.. I did a video on one once..
Great Vid Martin 👍
Thanks 👍

Dove hai acquistato il collettore di aspirazione
L'ho preso da eBay

It's obviously not getting fuel. You can buy a co.plete Chinese carb off ebay for about 10 quid, I'd try that.
@@retrorestore I have just ordered one bud, fingers crossed it works, thank you
@@retrorestore have just fitted the new carb, fires straight up, just need to adjust the screws, haven’t ever touch adjustment screws before 😂
@@nathanhuitson1418 Nice one, well done bud.
super vid martin

It least u got it running Martin, that's the difference between the Master and the Apprentice!!!!!🤣😂🤣😂. Guess you have more to teach him!!!!!!.
Great job m8

Ciao dove posso acquistare questo pezzo ?

Funny enough, I was driving through Lincoln last week and saw him in his electric chair doing some shopping. He looked ok to me.
