I had a similar problem with a snow blower. If there is no gas getting to the carb there may be some junk in the tank plugging the line. Disconnect the line from the first item from the tank (filter or pump). Blow back through the line with a hand pump or LOW pressure air supply and see if the fuel starts flowing.

I'm sure you have dirt in your carb. If you know how to take the carb apart......You need to get a can of carb cleaner and carb kit. Take the carb apart and spray every hole and nook a crany you can see. Put the new kit in the carb and you should be ready to go!! This has happened to several times.

I have a Ryobi 2 Cycle Full Crank Weed Wacker. Changed the plug, the primer bulb and fresh gas. Will not run. It will start and run in Half Chock for about 5 minutes and then dies.

Stating the obvious this is fuel starvation, so stating the the easiest things first replace the fuel filter in the tank, check the fuel hose up to the carb for any signs of leaks, replace if needed, are the hoses to the purge bulb fitted around the correct way as you have replaced it? dirt in the carb itself, this would require stripping the carb and cleaning, at the same time replacing the diaphragms, failing all this you may have an air leak, leaking gaskets, or crank seals.

Johndeer la140 runs good on full choke but throdle lever does nothing it is not broke the butterfly is moveing in the carb but no gas response runs good on full chock but when i put the choke down ...

WHEN YOU GIVE A CARB CHOKE, IT RESTRICTS AIR FLOW AND GIVING THE ENGINE MORE GAS INSTEAD OF A REQUIRED MIXTURE... USUALLY THIS IS FOR STARTING IN COLD TEMPS. UNTIL THE ENGINE WARMS UP AND YOU RETURN THE CHOKE BACK TO NORMAL. THAT IS ALL THE CHOKE DOES.... IT DOES NOT MAKE THE ENGINE RUN BETTER BECAUSE YOU THINK IT WILL.

I HAVE 1998 CRATSMAN WILL NOT RUN UNLESS YOU RUN IT HALF CHOKED , SEEM TO BE GETTING TO MUCH GAS

half chocked is not enough gas usually. Probably a partial clog in the fuel filer. replace it, if one of those bronze cone things on the tank nipple, cut it off and put an inline filter on the fuel, take the carb bowl off, clean the float and needle, then reassemble all. If it still aint right you got to rebuild the carb. I recommend just buying a new carb, a lot less hassel.

I have a presser washer Coleman power mate motor. The intake value was stuck. I pulled the head and cleaned the old gas off that had stuck the value open. It runs now but only on half chock. It runs great...

Sounds like the carb needs to be adjusted by someone that knows how to repair engines. Note: if the carb is set too lean, it will damage the engine.

Craftsman weed wacker will start and run

Are you sure you have the right fuel mixture? Many of these require 2 Cycle oil to be added to the gas. If fuel is right, you may have a vacuum leak at the carb (or crack in base where it mounts to the engine). My weedwacker needed to be run on half choke for about 10 min before it got hot enough to run with choke off.

My MAC 3227 trimmer will start an only run for a short time (less than a minute). It needs for the chock to be in the half chock position to start. If I move the chock to non-chock it stops. If I...

remove the carburator.. It's plugged.
disassemble and soak the body in fresh gasoline for about 10 mins.
Blow out all the ports with small engine carb cleaner and reassemble.
Drain the gas tank , clean it and refill with fresh gas mixture
It doesn't take much to clog those little carbs

Runs only on half chocked

Remove the air intake and spray the carb down with carb cleaner. Buy new gas/mix. Put 1 oz of Sea Foam" into one gallon of the mix. Run two or more tanks of fuel and it should straighten out.

I have a Ryobi trimmer and when I start it will not stay on

Here was my solution:
I was having problems with my ryobi cs30 weedeater also. It would start up fine on full choke, but i could not give it more than half throttle or ever take the choke off or it would stall out. I replaced fuel mixture, spark plug, spark arrestor/exhaust, fuel lines, cleaned carb, and still nothing! I was considering getting a better machine. Then i decided to play with the carb adjustments.(on my cs-30, they are two screws on the carb that have a "L" and "H" next to them) I dont think you can get the specialty tool for adjusting the carb unless you are a repair tech, so i just took a Dremmel tool with the circular cut-off wheel to the head of the specialty screws and made them into "flat-head" screws so i could adjust them with a regular screwdriver (if you dont have a dremmel too, get one!) (As i was cutting into the head of the screws, i also cut into the casing protecting the head of the screws that was in the way, this does not cause any damage to the unit, that casing is only there to keep "un-certified" people from adjusting it for themselves.)
Now to the easy part: The "L" screw adjusts the idle fuel mixture and the "H" screw adjusts the full throttle fuel mixture. turning the screws clockwise make the machine run leaner (less fuel) and counter clockwise makes it run richer (more fuel).
-I started out by turning each screw 1/2 turn counter clockwise and started it up, then as it was idling, i started adjusting the "L" screw as i was moving the choke position to run, after a few full turns counter clockwise of the "L" screw, it was idling perfectly in the run position, then i did the same thing the the "H" screw while holding down the throttle and i got it to run perfectly in the run position. Now it is running way better than it ever has. I hope this helps everyone.
Good Luck!
