Over the course of the last 6 months, I have purchased TWO separate 25cc 2-stroke Ryobi Trimmers. The first one worked great, but when it gave me trouble I loved the product so much I get a second. That one has never started properly for me, and due to my career demands I hadn't had much time to troubleshoot. Now my refund windows are long gone. My frustration is that the first one I purchased had a significant breakdown of the pole at the attachment site. This eventually snapped and was held together by the internal cable. The second one is brand new, never used, and after trying all options I'm simply going to sell them off to someone that can fix them.
$50 for both and will sell one for $25 of course. Not negotiating prices, will just throw them out if nobody will pay for them. I'm sure someone capable can fix these things. Email me for pictures or to discuss.
