Keith you have got to make sure the gap is right between the coil and the magnetic flywheel. Use a buisness card to set the gap and make sure the coil is on the right way.
Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly.
The spark Plug Gap is 0.030. Any original or aftermarket spark plug for this unit is pre-set to 0.030. Unless you dropped the replacement plug it should be fine. All Ryobi engines 2 and 4 cycle have a 0.030 spark plug gap.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly
Hi...Ryobi RLT-30CET...I have a newish strimmer which I dropped 2 ft. Changed the spark plug...as it seemed to have no spark. Now I think its flooded. How do I sort the flooding problem. and are there delicate parts that could break? many thanks...Phil
Hi,
The plug that I have in my 720r is a Champion RDJ7Y. Can I suggest that you pull the old plug out and look to see which one you have? Also when you buy the new replacement it should already be gapped for what you need.
Good luck!
Hi
I have had the similar problem & spent a day stripping the unit down
(dismantled & re-assembled the carb, seemed OK fuel reaching & flooding the plug) I unscrewed the spark plug from the body, but left it connected to the lead and found that there was intermittent spark when pulling the cord. and tested it with a continuity meter - no signal/measurement. bought a new spark plug, meter reading showed signal/measurement, now starts every time. It may be that Ryobi has been installing rather cheap nasty plugs. So test the plug first by watching the spark when pulling cord, test with a meter, if no continuity, buy new plug....
Check also that little gauze air filter behind the roto choke is not blocked.
this solved it for me.
