Most Ryobi generators in South African homes are portables bought for load shedding and stored between outages. That shows up in the faults we see: petrol gone stale in the tank or carburettor, a recoil pulled against a flooded engine, and sockets overloaded with a kettle and a heater at once.
An RG model and a RIG inverter are different machines under the cover. The RG holds its output with a fixed engine speed; the inverter converts it electronically and lets the engine slow down at light load. Your data plate shows which one you have, and that decides which tests we run first.

Specifications vary by market and year, so the data plate on your Ryobi confirms the exact model. Sources:
The RG-2700 delivers its 2,500 W through two South African three-pin outlets. When one works and the other does not, the fault is between that outlet and the alternator, so we test the outlet and its wiring before the alternator itself.
A RIG digital inverter slows its engine at light load. If it surges, or cuts out when you switch something on, we check fuel delivery through its small carburettor and the overload protection before treating it as an inverter fault.
Long, thin extension leads lose voltage before the power reaches your appliances. We measure at the Ryobi’s outlets and at the far end of the lead, so a lead fault is not mistaken for a generator fault.
On a Ryobi, we start from the symptom. We prove fuel, spark and compression before we strip a carburettor, and we measure the output once the engine runs steadily. Servicing follows the schedule in the owner’s manual for your model.
On inverter models, we test the inverter module and the electronic throttle control before ordering a model-specific part.
On conventional sets, an AVR or a capacitor holds the voltage, and a fault there is a common reason a set runs but gives no power.

Ryobi models you may own include the RG-2700, RIG2000PC. Specifications vary by market and year, so the data plate on your generator confirms exactly which one you have.
Check the model on the data plate. A model starting RIG, such as the RIG2000PC, is a digital inverter. RG models, such as the RG-2700, are conventional sets. Inverter output is electronically controlled, which suits laptops, TVs and other electronics.
