My Ryobi strimmer is very tricky to start - far more than my other 2-stroke
tools. It also has problems accelerating until it is fully warmed up - open
the throttle and it dies.

Choke settings are important, as is throttle too. I start on full choke
until there are signs of life and then go through various combinations of
choke and throttle until it gets going. No easy solution I'm afraid. if you
find open then let me know.

By the way, I now run on 40:1 life my other tools - but make sure the oil is
of good quality and well mixed and fuel does not get cold over-winter.

What model do you have ?

Ryobi. Oddly it takes a 20:1 fuelil mix unlike almost all other 2
strokes I've looked at that take 40 or 50:1.
