How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?

We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :

A clogged carburetor is most commonly caused by leaving fuel in the string trimmer for a long period of time. Over time, some of the ingredients in the fuel may evaporate, leaving behind a thicker, stickier substance. This sticky fuel can clog up the carburetor and cause the engine to stall.
Over time, the spark arrestor can become clogged with soot. If the spark arrestor is clogged, the edger may stall or run roughly. To unclog the spark arrestor, remove it and clean it with a wire brush. You can also replace the spark arrestor.
If your RYOBI Edger isn`t starting: For 18V or 36V Battery models: check the battery has charge by pressing the fuel gauge. For AC models: turn the power point switch off and check the cord is inserted correctly in the extension lead. Use a heavy-duty extension lead no longer than 25m for optimal performance.
The air filter or exhaust port may be blocked. The trimmer may need lubrication and cooling fins or air passages may be blocked. A cordless trimmer`s battery or charger may be faulty.
Just Like Spark plug fouling, too much oil in the gasoline, inferior oil, a dirty air filter and/or continued operation at less than full throttle will plug the screen with carbon deposits. This prevents exhaust gases from flowing out, which leads to power loss or not running at all.
All air-cooled small engines have cooling fins manufactured right into the engine`s cylinder head and short block. These fins help to dissipate the heat from the engine. If the fins get clogged with dead grass, leaves, or other debris, they won`t allow the engine to cool properly, and the engine will overheat.
First check that you have a fully charged battery – a fully charged battery maximises runtime and also power, and minimises the chance of your mower cutting out in use. The next thing to check for is the condition of your lawn – for best performance, it`s recommended to mow your lawn regularly and to mow dry grass.
The most common problem with a strimmer not starting is that there`s a problem with the fuel mix. Double check that you`ve used 40 parts fresh unleaded petrol to 1 part 2-stroke oil (40:1). Check the petrol you`ve used isn`t stale.
You need to ensure the battery is fully charged and the charger is correctly connected during the charging process. Another fault which can cause your Gtech trimmer not to work is the safety switch in the handle. To check it is operating correctly listen for a `click` when it is pressed.
The first thing to do is to ensure that the battery is fully charged. If after charging the battery you are still experiencing the problem, then it may indicate a fault with either the battery or charger. The defective item will need to be replaced.
The trimmer line is too short to bump: If you let your string shorten while trimming until it recedes into the spool housing, it`ll get stuck, and then you`ll have to stop all of your trimming activities to open the housing and try to fix it.
The first thing to do is to ensure that the battery is fully charged. If after charging the battery you are still experiencing the problem, then it may indicate a fault with either the battery or charger. The defective item will need to be replaced.

Ryobi troubleshooting Recently bought the two set package of 18V lithium batteries however the tool will not work. It was working however it has stopped . Tried two different batterie , both fully charged ,with no results.
ANSWER : The motor may have overheated and burned open. Use a multimeter to check resistance across the battery contacts in the tool with the switch closed. If it reads open, the motor has failed.

Bought a Ryobi weed trimmer CS26 from Home Depot. The second time I used it string broke both ends. Could not take it apart went to Home depot after 30 days they could not take it apart. They would not give money back. I Went home banged the string spool got vise grips finaly took off spool and replaced it with optional spool slid in string per directions every time I try to use it string flys out. What the hell? Now what?
ANSWER : Just cheap equipment. Mark it up to experience and do not purchase equipment fro home center or box stores ever again. This is just one of the many problems of dealing with the box stores rather than a full service qualified dealer. If you can find one in your area, patronize them. Not just when the box store lets you down but for everything. These type dealers are disappearing and are not being replaced and soon they will all be gone.

ANSWER : You definitely do have a fuel problem try replacing your fuel filter

BC 30 wont start after engine is hot
ANSWER : Check that you are using the correct values for the fuel mixture.One major symptom of an old, or incorrectly mixed fuel, is overheating.Also another possibility, is that the timing could be an issue.But if you find the engine revs up ok, don’t re-adjust the timing. There ya go ;)Good luck with that, & don’t forget to rate 😉

Ryobi cs 30 why does the trim head turn on its own after started when I haven’t touched the throttle !!
ANSWER : Start with adjusting the carb low and high out 1 full turn, then adjust the idle.

It wont start,I replaced the spark plug
ANSWER : Joe try putting some fuel in where the spark plug goes. If it still doesn’t fire then proceed to eliminate things. Firstly the air filter will need cleaning then the spark coil. If it still don’t fire check the switch is ok. Sometimes the switch breaks a circuit and helps with the running of it.
