Only difference with the echos I can think of is some of them had the little pulse port offset on the intake manifold and carby whereas every ryobi I can think of had them centred.
I usually drill the manifold to suit the port on a different carby Tyler but it's not usually worth the time messing around with them.
It's quicker just to grab a better snipper for free ,found a Tanaka today at the end of my street ,took the fuel and primer out of the
Ryobi blower and put them into the Tanaka and it ran well and starts easy.
When I took the flywheel off the Ryobi blower vac it was a little dirty and oily ,the crank seal looked dry ,it had a little bit
of play in the bearing whereas the Ryobi snipper engine crank bearing had no slop in the bearing.
