Instructions for the Ryobi Fuel System Tune-Up Kit

If your trimmer, blower or edger is running rough, the Ryobi fuel system tune-up kit might be just what you need to get the motor running at peak efficiency. The Ryobi fuel system tune-up includes a primer bulb and fuel line kit. The primer bulb is pushed to help circulate fuel to and from the carburetor when starting a two-cycle engine. The fuel line on the tools moves fuel from the gas tank to the carburetor.
