RYOBI Back Pack Blower - Have Ryobi Leaf Blower Less Than a Year of Use. Will Not Start.
Complaint
Review by ccassles on 2012-04-26
Rating: 
AUSTIN, TEXAS -- Have used this blower less than a year. Will not start. Spent to much time with tech support, did every thing they told me to do no luck... Now they say I need a new corroborator.!! At my expense. Never buy a ryobi tool. No help from the company. Very rude operator. Asked to speak to someone else was cut off. My bad luck for not buying a name brand product.

how long did you leave it sitting with fuel in it? I presume this is a two cycle - did you pull the plug to see if it's fouled?

If you left it sit for an extended period of time with fuel in the tank then you will have this problem. Carburetor needs to be disassembled and cleaned. Most lawn mower shops can do this.
Doesn't sound like a Ryobi problem.

I'd like to corroborate what the others said. I don't believe this is Ryobi's fault, based on what you wrote. Sounds like either you left gas in it and it gummed up, or some dirt got into it and clogged it in a way that can't be cleared out.
A good small engine mechanic is in order to see if it can be repaired.
