RE: Can I convert this Ryobi?
Oh yeah, if I recall you are getting a different carb. If so hold off on making the carb spacer, required for clearance to mount plate untill you have the new carb. I found that the throttle linkage plate (attached to the throttle shaft) was a differnt size and shape and I ended up making another spacer to get required clearances for throttle to open toally. I think all my future spacers will be from plywood epoxied to desired thickness. Lot easier to work than alum. and a better heat insulator.
