First Problem with Ryobi 10532

[RAYINTOMBALL]

I had my first problem. The plastic cogs on the starter assembly have worn out and will not engage dogs on the rotor assembly. I have gone to ereplacementparts.com but I am unable to find the part I need. The problem seems to be that the cogs will only engage spring loaded dogs about 3/16 of an inch which causes the edge of the cogs to wear down. I was wondering if I could bend up the spring loaded dogs to engage the cogs farther. See pic for clarification. The saw is still under warranty but I would prefer not to deal with that. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance. Ray

is this the part you need?

we seem to have different model numbers here in the UK, but it looks like it might be the bit you're after... you could contact the seller and see if he'll post to the US?

cheers,

You may have better luck looking up the equivalent Redmax model for the parts?

I was hoping I could just get the cog in the center if possible. But thanks for the help.

Seems Ryobi doesn't sell a lot of the small parts individually, just in assemblies. Like Trigger Man said, you might be able to get it from a RedMax dealer. Get in touch with cuttinscot and see if he can help.

Just FYI here I have a dead one sitting on my bench . Cylindar is scored and along with the piston and rings , It does not start or run , however I dont beleave from the looks of the saw it has many hours on it. If your interested in the whole power head for parts PM me .
The reason I am not fixing it is because just the piston and rings will cost me 46 bucks , Just not worth it .
