Discussion for the Ryobi 410r (21A-121R034) Tiller
My clutch cover melted and broke in two causing the motor to come off the tiller. Upon inspection I found the clutch drum has some play in it. As in you can wiggle it about a 1/4 ". I removed it and inspected it and don't see anything wrong with it so I re-installed it. Is it supposed to have some play in it or is it supposed to stay solid? Maybe this is why the cover melted.
It is normal to have about a 1/4" of play back and forth on the clutch drum but there should be no side to side movement. It sounds like a bad clutch drum.
i Have A Tiller With A Ryobi Model: 410r Motor, Needs A Piston Ring, What Is The Proper Way To Put A new Ring On And Do You Need A Piston Sleeve To Put The Piston Back In Clyinder With A New Ring?
It should be .012". We have an article and video that shows the installation of an ignition coil on a trimmer. I think that you might find it useful. You can find it at the following link...
I would guess that the problem is caused by dirt or debris in the carburetor. The fuel is not flowing through the carb so the engine starts to die. When you press the primer it squirts another supply of fuel into the carb and the engine runs again. Either cleaning or replacing the carb should solve the problem. If you decide to clean the carb you might find the following article and video helpful...
Removal of the clutch drum isn't too hard of a project at all if you know a few tricks first. We have prepared an article and video that will provide you with all of the information you will need to remove the clutch drum. You can find the article and video at the following link...
I have a small Ryobi roto tiller. The plastic line from the primer bulb to the tank to the carburetor have all gone bad. How do I find the parts? Do i just order new hose? what about the connections to the tank, where do I find the new connectors to the tank and the hose?
The fuel system is a sealed vacuum. This is my problem. If the primer is cracked the vacuum is broken, too much air to the air/fuel mixture, bogs it out.

You will lose the prime and it will suck air and probably run bad. It could also leak.
I just replace the fuel tank and I believe the lines are correctly installed according to response #2. Fuel is coming out of the bottom of the carburetor as soon as I fill the fuel tank. I need some suggestions as what to do?
How do I remove the fuel tank; there's a hole in the tank from a long screw from assembly. I'd like to remove it if it can be repaired or just order a new tank.

I just bought a new fuel tank and primer ball with new fuel lines. the old lines were broken off. I just need direction as to the correct location of each line to the carb... to the primer ball... from the fuel tank....

On my 410r the lines are as follows:
Line from tank with filter goes directly to inlet pipe on bottom of carb.
Line from tank without filter (possibly green(ish) goes to lower pipe of primer bulb assembly
Line from upper pipe on primer assembly goes to pipe on top of carb.
I cut my fuel lines and drilled the tank out and fitted rubber grommets. It has not leaked since. I think that the original design was very poor.

You need to put the fuel line through the gas tank then push the nipples through the bottom slightly pulling the gas fuel line at the same time. The white washers will hold the line on the the fitting and no need for any glue and it will be as good as new. The gas fuel line is a 1/8 inch tubing and the primer line is smaller.
Hello to all..this is my first post....

Ok... my friend said it just tap off. He was right, but I had to slit the case.. remove about 8 screw and then the gearbox came of the shaft with the drive cable.
I finished seperating the case...bads new..:(.. the main ring gear has broken teeth, about 1/2 of them....looks to be bronze material....... link removed I get a new gear or do I have to buy a whole NEW gearbox..:rolleyes:

Hi Tillerman1948,
Unfortunately the manufacture does not offer any of the internal gearbox parts separately. The entire gearbox will need to be replaced. It is part #753-04489.
I am attempting to replace the recoil spring. I began taking it apart at the Clutch cover end. I have removed all the screws around the starter housing assembly such that there is about 3/8" play between the SH assembly and the shroud extension and stand. I believe that the clutch drum assembly is attached to the powershaft by a bolt/screw with a star/slot head that is accessible down thru the clutch drum assembly.
Am I on the right track? Can I dissasemble the unit and get to the recoil spring by loosening the connector that is visible down the clutch drum assembly. Would I turn this counter clockwise to remove?
I think you are on the right track jackp. There should be a Torx screw (probably a T-20) down in the hole on the clutch assembly. You will need to remove the spark plug and put a rag or an old shoe lace down in there. You are making it so the piston can't rotate while you remove the screw and the clutch. Just be careful to leave enough of the rag or string sticking out that you can remove it later. The screw will remove counter clockwise. After the drum is off then you can grasp the clutch with a large set of adjustable pliers again counter clockwise.
loaned out my ryobi ss30 trimmer and it was repaired. the fuel lines are in the wrong places. I need a diagram so I can replace them correctly.

This has been a life saver.... many times..... it does a great job and is very reliable.... as things age they need new parts but this is normal.... I am very satisfied with my Ryobi 410r unit.
