I have had my Ryobi bought new in 88,



Starts fine, always follow the steps
Full choke, pull starter till she pops
Half choke, starts and run for approx 10 secs
No check and running

I mix my fuel only a little at a time so just a bit is left in the tank, I use a quality 2 Stoke oil but mix it right. Only work I have done is to replace the clutch spring







I pulled the muffler off while I had things stripped down and it had very little carbon build up and the rings and bore look great. I think regular running and a good oil/fuel mix is the trick.
