I own a Ryobi 725r trimmer 7+ years. Normally to start you use two pulls on full choke, start and run on 1/2 choke with full throttle for about one minute, then no choke and it would trim and edge all I want (I have several attachments).
Last season it would only run on 1/2 choke position (or a little between 1/2 and no detent position). Now it will only run between the full and 1/2 position, and not enough power to really do any good. When I go to 1/2 choke it speeds up and dies. Won't run at all on no choke. I have cleaned spark plug, and looked at the zama carb ( I have not fiddled with any of the adjustments just looked inside from breather end and took off the side plate) and it looks clean.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

jav8r,
On the carby side with one screw remove the fine wire mesh filter and replace it. Problem should be solved.
