Ryobi weed sprayer not working

Ryobi weed sprayer not working

I purchased a battery weed Sprayer back in 2016 or thereabouts. I only ever used it once or twice before the battery drained.

 

It’s a long story but suffice to say I only returned to use it in the last few weeks. 

The problem I have is it’s not pumping any spray out. I cleaned the hose and nozzle and even bought a new hose but still nothing comes out.

Its not blocked because I can feel air coming out.

 

The hose from the motor unit into the tank is also clear. So for some reason it’s just not pumping any liquid out.

 

Given its age it’s obviously out of warranty. I only used it once or twice and would like to get it going again.

 

Any ideas? I’d happily take it to an authorised repair place but I wonder if the cost of repair would be as much as it’s worth, given I probably only paid $120 or thereabouts.

 

If it’s still worth taking it to a repair place any recommendations for one in the Moonee Ponds area? Or is there a simple fix I can try myself?

Hi @philt,

 

I'm glad to hear @Nailbag's advice has proven useful, and you've got the sprayer working.

 

If you'd like to replace the measuring cup, I'm sure our Spare Parts team will be able to help.

 

Let me know if there is anything else I can assist with.

 

Jacob

Re: Ryobi weed sprayer not working

Thats awesome work @philt getting that up and running again. If you didn't want to order in a new measuring cup, then I would probably just go with the many Bunnings have few a few dollars in both the paint and garden dept's like this one.
