This genuine OEM sourced pore is specially produced for Poulan and Weed Eater gas powered string trimmers. This rope is part of the recoil starter mechanism that allows user to quickly and easily pull-start the engine. It is made from durable nylon material and it is sold individually. Please note that the handle grip is sold separately.
This Weedeater brand grass trimmer was suffering from old age. I decided to do an external overhaul by replacing the carburetor, fuel tank (with new tubing), and the starter rope even though it was still in serviceable condition.
The salesman (Jamie) and I had a conversation about the carburetor base gasket and he advised me
... Read more that the gasket was made from \"foam\" and that it would probably need replacing. That gasket was not available separately and only came in an engine overhaul kit. I wanted to make sure I had everything to complete the repair so I purchased the gasket overhaul kit for $8.66.
After receiving the replacement parts and inspecting them to make sure they were the correct, I started the replacement process. As I took the carburetor off of the engine, I saw the gasket which Jamie told me was made of a foam material, but was a very durable asbestos material and did not need replacing. After total disassembly, the new replacement parts were installed without much of an issue.
The engine now starts and runs like new and I expect to use this Weedeater gas trimmer for the next 10 years. Overall, the help provided by Jamie was very professional and the replacement parts arrived within the 5 day time frame for ground shipping.
I have used eReplacementParts previously and will use them again in the future when needed.
