Ryobi trimmer problem
Original Message May 11, 2005 10:53 am

I'm told that my Ryobi seized up due to no oil in the fuel. I can't believe it. Is there a way I can check the fuel I have left to tell for sure?

The Stihl starts and runs great. Does anyone know if the steel cutter blade with saw-like teeth can be used for saplings (1/2")? The manual says it's for reeds and thich weeds.

Jonathan,

Nice trimmer! I think Kevin just bought a FS 45C. Hey, what's the C for? I think maybe brushcutter?

Marshall, if you mean me, no I didn't buy a new one. I'm still using this old relic. I think it's at least 18 years old and starts every spring, even if I leave the gas in it all winter. Only problem I had was to replace the drive cable once. Anybody use anything like this anymore. LOL Kevin
