Ryobi 10532 in the field

[mountainlake]

Cliff
I'm glad you like the ryobi as I like their cordless and power tools very much and I had a chance to run a 435 and had to say I was impressed with it and actually put it just a half step behind a 211 but a very good value nonetheless. Heres my negative speech and not towards you just in general. I see post like this and ask myself if joe blow with 5 post would have said that the ryobi was the greatest thing since the 361 for it's price he would have been laughed off the site. I have also gotten to know the manager of the local home depot through a mutual friend and got to talking as to why they aren't carrying that saw anymore yet carry all things ryobi? Of course he didn't have an answer at the time but sent me an e-mail after talking with the ryobi rep and some other stores and the answer was they just weren't dependable and the inconveniences out weighed the profit of carrying it. Actually as much as poulan and homelite have went to crap that they were in fact dependable for homeowner use. I don't doubt that they are a decent little saw I just have a hardtime beleiving that they didn't skip a major corner or 2 for the price curve vs supposed semi pro quality . This is not a knock on your decision to own or purchase one, but am blown away by how easy people will fall for the punch bowl of kool aid. I can't wait till I get 10'000 post to see if I can start a cult following of the trusted eager beaver. THAT IS ALL!

Didn't Husky buy ot Redmax? You'll most likely see the same saw rebadged as a Husky if Husky can spend that much money one one of thier homeowner saws, maybe they'll label it a pro saw. Then you'll be crowing how well made it is. Steve

Yes they did,you probably hit the nail on the head.As soon as they can "work off" these Ryobi branded Redmax's they will dress it up in Husky colors.It will be a breakthrough,with state of the art strato-charged engine and probably hit the market around the $350 mark.Only time will tell,but I'm sure Husky had a good reason to swallow up Redmax.

These Ryobi saws can be bought at Amazon for $99 with free shipping through CPO same as on Ebay for $108 Steve

I ordered a new coil this morning. It could be the spark plug, but when it acted up the miss was so consistant, just like the rpm limiter was cutting it out exactly half the rpm's that it used to, I'm thinking the coil is defective.

It ran OK when I cooled it down for a minute or so, then did the same thing when it got really hot.

I was running the crap out of it at the time, cutting up a Cherry tree about 18" across, using a 14" bar on the Ryobi at the time.

Brad, if you still have the 3800 when the new coil comes in, I'll gladly ship the old one to you for comparison. If it's a direct swap, and not rev limited, it would be good information......Cliff

Where did you order the coil from?

I cut up a downed cherry this weekend with the ryobi. 12" cuts with a 16 " Oregon bar and LP chain. It starts so easy, even during on & off work. Light weight and while not a screamer pulled the chain fine. No problems rolled over either way. I have shortened the fuel line and opened the muffler to 1/2".

Chain brake is seriously stiff, and right on top of your left hand. My fuel cap had a crack and leak. I am using a Poulan bar oil cap in it's place, until I send an order through for any other parts. The Jz7c or cmr7h plugs are a &*%$# to find. I found them at a hobby store, as this engine is coveted by RC junkies.

I enjoyed using it more than my woodsman and Poulan Pro's. Seems comparable to my JD CS 36. The poor 36 is dragging an 18" bar though (It came with it when I bought it used) This saw is to ride on my ATV, and appears to be worth the $100. I am concerned to hear the Ignition went on Cliff's. I guess I can't be shocked if this does not stand up over the long hall. Oh well, it is a fun experiment.

I'ts boxed up and going out this morning.

Sure.

Only time will tell,but I'm sure Husky had a good reason to swallow up Redmax.

I think I read somewhere it was primarily for their line of backpack blowers.

I'd add that Redmax knows how to build a strato saw and their engines are some of the cleaniest burning out, EPA credits and such. Redmax may be the only reason the 576 is such a good runner.

You might be right on the money!

Did Canuck Jay pick up the 3800? If you can say.

No he didn't. I never heard from him.

The coil in the Ryobi is toast. I checked it over today, and cold it runs flawlessly. Once warmed up it cuts the rev limiter it at almost exactly half of the rpm's it's supposed to. It will actually cut in and out as it warms up, but once fully warmed up, it goes into the low rpm cut-out, and will not correct itself till it cools down.

I don't think it's the spark plug, as the problem is too consistant with the temperature of the saw. I've never seen a plug quite like this one, so I couldn't substiture another one for testing.

A new coil is on it's way, hopefully that will get her back up and running. It will take about as long as it took to type this to swap out the coil, this saw is very easy to work on.....Cliff

Cliff, I think the KM110 Stihl uses the same plug,see the thread entitled Sparkplug -101.

The part to look at is the reference to the NGK CMR7H which is the equivalent to the Champion RZ7C.

 

[wigglesworth]

Does the redmax version of this saw have a limited coil?

edit: sorry, read the rest of the posts. I guess the redmax does "not" have a rev limiter

Good info, I prefer the NGK plugs, had way too many Champion plugs fail in my day to feel comfortable about using them....Cliff

I am the same way, but in researching a cross for the RZ7C, I found that many of the RC Car & Boat guys were getting better results with the Champion in the Zenoah engines. The only difference I could see is the Champion has a .50 reach and the NGK .492. FWIW, I bought the NGK. I had a tough time finding either one locally.

Champion may have improved their parts in recent years. Back in the 70's-80's the failure rate was extremely high for those plugs, at least in the applications I tried them in.

I switched to NGK's quite some time ago, and actually ran a single set of them in 4 different engines that powered my GTO for over 20 years. They would still be in there today if I didn't have aluminum heads on the new engine and they took a completely different plug.

I've got NGK's in my daughters Nissan (over 130,000 miles on them), my quad, motorcycle, Cub Cadet, John Deere tractor, etc, with zero problems.

The Champion plug in the Ryobi looks fine, and the symptoms indicate a coil problem. It is intermitant while warming up, fine when cold, and cuts the rpm's eactly in half when hot.

At least the new coil was reasonably priced, hopefully it will do better than the first one?.....Cliff

I had a highly modified Yamaha Banshee I ran for 10-15 years in the sand dunes. The engine was ported by Duncan Racing, one of the biggest names in the industry. All they recommended was Champion so that's what I used. I had no problems with them.
