Hello Jon,

We don't have an instruction manual on how to change the trimmer line on your Weed Eater. However we have prepared an article and video that I hope will answer any question you might have. Here is a link to it- How to Replace Trimmer Line.

Hope this helps,

Try cleaning out the spool assembly head. If they get oily it can cause the line to feed out on its own.

Hi James,

It sounds like your carburetor is likely clogged. The carburetor can become clogged by dirt or other debris. If fuel is left sitting in an unused trimmer for more than a couple of months the fuel will begin to breakdown and go bad. As the fuel breaks down it will start to become gel like as well as begin to coat the internal parts of the carburetor with a varnish. The gel and varnish will plug the carburetor so that fuel can no longer flow through it. To get your trimmer running again you will need to either rebuild or replace the carburetor. When you replace the carburetor it is always a good idea to also replace the air and fuel filters. This helps ensure that more debris won't clog the new carburetor.

There is not a carb kit available for your trimmer so the carburetor will need to be replaced. The carburetor is part #753-04229, the air filter is part #791-180350B, and the fuel filter is part #791-682039. All of these parts are available from http://ereplacementparts.com.

I hope this helps with your repair!

Hi james,

Removal of the clutch drum isn't too hard of a project at all if you know a few tricks first. The drum is held in place by a screw at the base of the hole on the end of the clutch drum. The screw may use a Torx, Hex or Phillips drive. The screw will remove with a counter-clockwise rotation. When you try to rotate the screw the engine will likely rotate as well. Here is where a trick comes in. Remove the spark plug from the engine. Now find a piece of small rope, like an old shoe lace. Put the rope down in the hole for the spark plug. Be sure to leave enough of the rope hanging out of the hole so you can remove it later. The rope will bind up the piston so the engine can no longer rotate and now you can easily remove the clutch drum screw.

Good luck with your repair!
