This is an authentic Weed Eater replacement part that has been sourced from the original manufacturer to be used with handheld blowers. The starter pulley is used to store the rope. As the rope is pulled it rotates the pulley which engages the flywheel to start the motor. This item is available as an individual replacement part.

This unit required total disassembly to get to re-wind rope. Once you have everything in sub-assemblies, you can remove rope and pulley, rewind retainer clips and rewind spring. Then it is just a matter of putting all back together in the sequence you removed it. Threading the rope back through the hole to attach to the handle is a little tricky but can be done once you think it out. I would caution the repairer not to put any more tension on the re-wind spring than is necessary to retract the rope completely.
