Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Ryobi 700r stalls, carburator, exhaust port


Question
 I have a Ryobi 700r/720r trimmer. It has always been  hard to start, but once it does, then it worke fine. Suddenly, it now starts but won't keep running. It just seems to choke out and quits. It does this more rapidly when I pull the trigger.
 I have changed the spark plug, put in fresh gas/oil, cleaned the air filter, and cleaned the muffler. I'm hesitant to fiddle with the carburetor if I don't have to, because the manual tells me that in most cases "carburetor adjustment is not required".
 Any idea what to do next?  

Answer
 Hello Doug:

 Having Done all you Described, Clean and Rebuild the Carburator. Usually I would ask about the Muffler and Muffler Screen and the Exhaust Port. You have done these Already, so the Carburator is all that is Left. Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
