Excellent stuff Tyler!!
Very happy to hear you overcame.
That Ryobi looks more fancy and better quality looking with the orange knob and trigger. I also like the labels. It looks a more premium package than their later stuff.
Honestly, through their lengthy Ryan based engine period, they got worse and worse, not better, particularly that awful easy start engine.
The first 31cc green ones from the late 1980s that sold up a storm sounded better then the white then grey body series that followed.
I find it hard to believe that engine is only 17cc! It looks outwardly the same size as the 31cc which is practically double the capacity.
