Has anyone sucessfully used this with a pre-2004 Ryobi TrimmerPlus engine? I'm curious if anything changed when they went to Expand-It.

I have a 4 cycle and it works wonderful, just keep it lubricated. The connector end has not changed for quite a while my old one has same connector as my newest one. I am quite sure you should be fine.

I cannot answer that from here.However, on my application, the motor fit and worked well except the seller supplied the wrong o-ring. I got the correct o-ring from Yamaha. It was expensive. The seller refused to reimburse the diference. Also he has kept bugging me to give him a favorable rating. Be advised that the removal and installation of these tilt trim motors on a Yamaha is very difficult.

I would say no only because the trimmer is not strong enough, you need a gas trmmer the bigger the better, im running a 4 stroke and it has the power to drive the head.

Yes it did. I had trouble with the carburetor though. I talked tothe seller several times,which he tried to help me, but nothingworked. I repaired the old carburetor which still doesn"t workright. I may take the one from weedman in have it checked out.

I have used on 1 cyl. engines but no reason I can see why it wouldnt. it is only counting run time not cylinder cylces

I did. The engine eventually seized up - and the crankcase was full of oil. This trimmer was heavy - hard to start - rough running - cumbersome - a total waste of my money. DO NOT BUY THIS TRIMMER!!

My understanding is that the TrimmerPlus pole saw will fit on a Ryobi, but the Ryobi is not as powerful. The Troy built power unit is more powerful. I have both a Ryobi and a Troy Built trimmer. The attachments are interchangeable, but the Ryobi has less power.

I answered this yesterday but I don"t know what happened to my response --- but yes this one you have pictured is the right one if the adjustment hole on your carb. is configured like the picture. Mine was the same and mine is a Ryobi. Look in the hole where the adjustment tool is to be inserted make sure the hole matches the tool you are considering. You'll learn by watching You Tube videos for your motor that this tool is used for several different MFG. because they use the same motor design. Ron W.

Margaret, good evening. I used this unit to replace a Jakel motor #j238-138-1344m and it worked well for me. The only drawback is the lack of a new gasket. I used Permatex ulta copper high temperature silicon. Always check with the silicon manufacturer to be sure it is not toxic at high temperature after the silicon has setup.

If it fits correctly it is an easy operation, make sure it is compatible with your trimmer. It said it was for my Stihl but something must have been lost in translation so I had to modify it to make it work. After the mod it works great for what it is designed.

Steve my understanding is that this replacement motor is rather universal but I am not sure if it will fit your application. Did the info list your model as a suitable candidate ? Sam

My new cams are happily spinning in the stock plate (2005 FXD). New oil pump was installed. My mechanic did check 'runout', reported all fit within spec right out of the box...I wasn't there to see how this was done. I already had the adjustable push rods so this was relatively a quickie.I recommend this upgrade, engine runs stronger than SE 203's and I'm not worried about the chain tensioner killing the engine

No unfortunately, we do not work on that model or engine size. Sorry for the inconvenience.

will likely work --it worked on my Ryobi string trimmer. If you can see the adjustment port look for two flat sides and two round sides to each adjustment head. May need to carefully remove the adjustment housing guard sides to view the adjusting screw heads. I had to do the same and was able to do it with a small fine saw and nipping pliers.

Plan on installing this on my 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Limited, 5.2L engine. Have added 30amps of off road lights and the existing alternator of 90 amps and 250,000 miles makes some noises (abnormal) when I switch the lights on, so I'm fairly sure upgrading the alternator is a wise choice. Is this a direct replacement or will I need to make any modifications? If modifications are necessary, what are they? advise? Thanks in advance. Backyard Mechanic....

Hi Philip! Couple questions so I can help you better. 1. What engine do you have? 305 or V6? 2. Also I assume its already carbureted? If so this would work for you. But edelbrock does not make an electric fuel injection similar to the Terminator EFI. -Andrew
