Check your fuel filter in the fuel tank,if you have one it may need cleaning or replacement.
If the mower/weedeater is over a year old, then I recommend that you buy
and install a new carburetor repair kit,because the diaphragm will get hard
and that will cause it to be hard to crank.
Sounds like you will need to clean the carburetor or replace your carburetor
internal rubber parts like the diaphgram and O rings.
Be sure to use compressed air to blow out all the fuel and air passages.
Be careful when blowing out the passages, because there are sometimes small
rubber type seats in the bottom of some of the passages.
Sometimes you can get by with priming the carburetor or using starting fluid
and letting it run a few times like that and it will flush the gunk out of
the jets,but most of the time you will need to rebuild the carburetor.
Keep in mind that the float for the carburetor must be level when you go to
reassemble the carburetor or follow the instructions you get with the
carburetor kit.
When you clean your carburetor and remove the jet screws, you will first need
to lightly seat the jet screws.
But before you lightly seat the jet screws count the number of turns it takes
to seat the jet screws from their original position.
Be sure to mark the turns down on a piece of paper.
That way when you put the jets back in, you know to lightly seat them first
and then turn them back out to their orginal position before you started.

SOURCE: want to remove huscavana weed eater head

You should find a hole in the piece just above the trimmer head, this should line up with another hole deeper in the area. You stick a piece of rod in there to keep the head from turning. Use some pb blaster penetrating oil to help loosen up the head.

SOURCE: replacing fuel lines on ryobi weed eater,need

This is an ongoing issue for users, and rightfully so. Small diameter line out of fuel tank (has filter in-tank on end) connects to the side of the carburetor that has the fuel pump....that is the cover without the hole in it. Other larger diameter fuel line out of tank connects to the longer nipple on the external purge/primer bulb. The bulb "pulls" fresh fuel from the fuel tank to the carb and then out of the carb to itself, where it then pushes any air/old fuel back into the fuel tank. The remaining larger diameter fuel line in this setup goes from the metering chamber (has cover with writing on it and a vent-hole) side of the carburetor to the smaller nipple on the purge/primer bulb. Years ago on 2-stroke trimmers, primers were not even used,...you choked the carb with a slide lever and gravity let fuel enter the carb from above...a few pulls, a "pop"...slide it off of choke and away you went.
If the purge/primer bulb is on top of the carb...small line from carb body to small hole in tank with filter. Larger diameter line goes from the bulb on the fuel pump side of the carb to the larger hole in the fuel tank where the line is held in place with a nylon nipple connector that keeps the line from pulling out of the tank.

My ryobi weedeater head stopped spinning. I took apart where shaft connects and lower drive is broken off about and inch. Is that repairable ?

If the lower drive of your Ryobi weed eater has broken off about an inch, it may be possible to repair it. However, the extent of the damage and the specific model of your weed eater can affect the repairability. Here are a few steps you can take to assess the situation:
1. Examine the broken piece: Carefully inspect the broken lower drive and determine if it can be reattached or if it requires replacement. Look for any other damaged components as well.
2. Check for replacement parts: Visit the official Ryobi website or contact their customer support to check if they offer replacement parts for your specific model. If the broken lower drive is available as a separate part, you can order it and replace the damaged one.

My Ryobi weed eater the head of the weed eater is hard to turn and the engine doesn't want to turn it

problem most likely is that the cable drive for the head is twisted up inside the tube and jamming the operation
you have 2 options
remove the head from the tube and pull the cable out or
remove the tube from the power head and pull the cable out that way
new cables are available from your local mower shop
if the cable guides inside the tube are damaged , consider replacing the bent tube with a straight tube , then you can use more attachments for the head
