2-cycle air filter question
So I have a different string trimmer I’m working on this time, a Ryobi RY26000 power head. It runs fine but it doesn’t have an air filter at all. I figured the guy I got it from just didn’t install one, but checking the manual and parts catalog doesn’t mention anything about an air filter, only to clean the air screen on the carb intake.
Has anyone ever seen a 2 cycle engine WITHOUT an air filter from the factory? Are these intake screens on the carbs supposed to act as the filter? I was just going to put a filter on it anyways but it looks like the cover closes directly to the intake, no room for a filter (unless it was paper thin).

I purchased a Ryobi line trimmer 15 years ago. Two cycle engine. Never had an air cleaner. Still runs well, but light homeowner usage

This thing is already old, it’s back when Ryobi still made their stuff grey instead of Neon Green. I might find a way to put a filter in there for piece of mind, unless you think it’ll choke the engine due to air restriction since it’s not supposed to have one?

The Ryobi I have is about 20 years old and pisses me off every time I use it.
Starts easily one time, 20 pulls the next, hot or cold. It has an air filter (foam) but I took it off about 5 years ago in hopes of the S.O.B disintegrating and I wouldn't feel so bad about throwing it away but it just won't die. Don't worry about it!

I’ve always had bad luck with cranking string trimmers all my life. I’d always prime, pull a bunch of times, fiddle with the choke and pull some more, then get someone else to mess with it and they’d get it to crank right away.
But I’ll admit this Ryobi seems to have no troubles cranking if you follow the instructions on the handle. And the John Deere/Homelite one I worked in before this cranked 1-2 pulls every time no prime or choke required (thanks George for that tip). Who knows with these things it seems every brand is different ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've probably worn them out. Changed carbs too. Every time I think I've got it starting good, it runs like crap. So I adjust it to where its running good, then it won't start next time. And yes, Ive watched all the YouTube videos about string trimmers. Did I mention I hate the p.o.s. but I will not let it rest in peace until the piston comes flying out!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
