Yes, you have both high and low settings as well as an idle screw. It sounds like you need to thin the high side out a bit by turning it CW until it starts to speed up. Do this while it's running and the throttle trigger fully depressed.
I have a Ryobi Model RY28040 straight shaft line trimmer. In my case I replaced the complete String Head Assembly that includes the String Head Housing, Spring, and Spool and the string still did not advance. I then discovered that the bolt in the Spool Retainer cap (the red cap that attaches the spool to the shaft) was fused and not moving. The bolt needs to be loose inside the cap in order to allow the spool to move in and out by the spring. I loosened the bolt and fastened the spool back onto the shaft. Fired it up and bumped it a few times and the line began to advance. Turns out I probably only needed to replace the Spool Retainer rather than the String Head Assembly.
it sounds like the centrifugal clutch is slipping. take it to several shops and get some quotes. Most times you'll find that fixing a Ryobi is more expensive than buying a bnew one.
you need to locate the black knob at the trimmer head and turn it coun ter clockwise and remove it to access your string spool you may have to chase the knob with pliers because some are more than hand tight
follow arrow on the spool for line winding direction
what model is trimmer? cs30? if you found the line on it clockwise, that's your problem. on the cs30 it rotates counterclockwise if youre looking at the head while trimmer is upside down. the line has to be wound opposite direction or your going to have a MESS of string in the head.
I have one of this trimmers. It is simple to replace the line. -First line up the arrows on the bottom of the spindle. -Then feed the line back in one of the holes in the side of the spindle (this is the same hole that the cutting string comes out of). -You will see the line come out of the bottom of the spindle. -Take that line a place it in the hole on the bottom of the spindle. -Leave about 9 feet of string hanging out of the weed eater (do the same with the other side). -Then turn the inside wheel (I can't remember if it is clock wise or counter clock-wise but it will only turn one way) most of the string is rolled into the spindle. -Cut the string of about 5 inches out of the weed eater. You're ready to cut!
