Q:How to change the spark plug on ry38bp
by|Sep 7, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hello, Hank - Thank you for your question. To remove the spark plug on this leaf blower, you will take the center screw off of the shroud, remove the cover with a T20 torx wrench, pull the boot off, use a 19MM socket to unscrew the spark plug, and you can replace with an exact replacement plug. I hope this helps! Additionally, if you need further support, then a RYOBI Customer Experience Professional is here for you, Monday - Friday from 9 am to 6 pm (EST) when you call or text us at 1.800.525.2579 or through email or live chat when you visit us at https://www.ryobitools.com/support/contact.

        Cheap, overpriced garbage
        This blower is three months old. Has not been use much has always been hard to start. There's no place to grab the unit and pull the cord except for the handle on top of the back harness well that finally broke today cheap flimsy, plastic material not a fan of Ryobi anymore.

          2 cycle leaf blower
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this leaf blower about a year ago and the flex bellows split on me. The leaf blower itself is great but the bellow splitting is causing me to rate this a two.

            Would buy better
            Relatively good blower but not the best RYOBI has. The Blower Bellows Flex Tube broke within a year and forced me to buy a replacement.

              Junk with no support
              ok for 1 year before the lower frame (the plastic at the bottom that holds the blower) broke off in 2 places beside 2 of the 3 screws that hold it together. Ryobi CS for outdoor said contact local repair place. They charge $40 to look which RYOBI may not cover and they take weeks to evaluate, part takes weeks, then more to install. Spending the rest of the summer waiting for my leaf blower to be evaluated and maybe repaired is not adequate. RYOBI lost my business. DEWALT is next.

                Great when it worked, but cheap plastic breaks
                The unit was great when it worked. I went to use it for the first time this spring and as other reviewers have stated the plastic clips that connect the backpack to the engine completely snapped off when pulling the pull cord. It's kept indoors, no reason plastic should be that brittle so soon! I contacted the nearest service center and they said they didn't want to do anymore Ryobi warranty work for the foreseeable future because Ryobi is being a pain to work with.

                  Pull Cable Breaks
                  If you are going to buy this, just be prepared to have to take it apart to replace the pull cable. I’ve had two of these and I’ve replaced the cable multiple times on each. I have lots of gas powered tools and this is the only one that breaks like this. At this point I’m just going to throw it away.

                    Buyer Beware...They Catch Fire
                    I have this exact model. It caught fire where the muffler exhausts. The shroud in that area heats up and ignites.

                      Disappointed
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was gifted this about a year ago as a birthday present and used it for one season. The blower was stored in a garage during the off-season. During my use this past fall, the unit caught fire. The fire was not due to a gasoline leak but rather occurred on the opposite side of the unit than the gas ‘tank’. I have no idea what caused the fire. The blower is now trash. It was a good unit while it worked. I’m very disappointed in this product due to the short life. Not sure I’d get another.

                          Broken right out of the box
                          I just assembled this unit out of the box, purchased today. Filled with premixed fuel and ready to start for the FIRST time. First pull and the string does not retract. Stuck out and no way to start. Very disappointed and will be getting my money back for both the unit and the fuel. Don’t waste your money on this piece of junk. Spend the extra $ and get a reputable brand
