Anyone know where I might get a piston ring for a Ryobi 31 cc engine? Mine was stuck (from it's previous life as a weed eater) and I broke it trying to loosen it up. I've asked a couple of small engine repair shops and Ryobi dealers and they all just laugh at me. They don't repair them any more. They just junk them out and put in a new engine.

Frank makes custom rings for every model engine made. If he hasn't made it before, send the cylinder and piston and he'll add it to his list. Best guy in the ring-makin' business.

Frank has rings for Ryobis. Usually in stock. Just give him the specs and model # and he'll ship it out.

Thanks a bunch. That was almost too easy. I thought I was probably going to have to junk the engine.

www.ordertree.com is another source. It will cost you though. $6.10 for the ring and $6.95 shipping & handling. Ouch!!
Anyhow, they stock thousands of parts. I ordered hard to find tablesaw drive belts a while back from them.

Also www.sears.com has all the parts for the Ryobi trimmers. They want $5.49 for the ring and $4.99 shipping & handling.
