Broken starter rope return spring

Arthur from Jefferson City, Missouri

Disassembled the trimmer cowling. This was the hardest part. Old spring pops out, new spring module pops in. Adjusted the pull tension of the rope by stressing the spring, blocking the pulley and restringing the rope. Reassembled the cowling. Watch out for the Kill Switch wiring, that tries to drift into the screw holes between the plasti c moldings. Reassembling is the most time-consuming because of maintaining alignments of multiple parts.

Blower Start Rope wound not re-wind.

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.

Starter rope wouldn\'t retract

Derek from Peachtree City, Georgia

Parts Used:

Removed housings to access starter recoil spring, undo off switch leads.
Removed two screws holding rope reel and spring housing in place.
Popped out starter spring housing, and replaced it with new starter recoil spring in housing, being careful not to let spring pop out.
Replaced the starter rope, which simply requir ed tying two knots.
Wound rope onto reel, and reinstalled in housing.
Wind tension into starter reel.
Reinstalled two screws.
Replace housing, connecting off switch leads.
All screws are either 20mm or 25mm Torx.
Included instructions were somewhat helpful for rope wind direction, but other than that it was an relatively easy repair without them.

Starter rope would not fully retract.

Parts Used:

1. Separated throttle/switch assembly from trimmer shaft.
2. Removed string trimmer shaft. After removing one screw and loosening the clamp, the shaft simply pulls out of clutch/motor assembly
3. Removed plastic engine covers and clutch assembly. Clutch assembly must be removed in order to remove starter housing. Make note of where the screws go. Different lengths, some are machine screws.
4. Removed baffle that captures the starter assembly. WEAR EYE PROTECTION is case the spring is broken and has become dislodged.
5. Replaced parts along with a new rope (original rope was frayed causing binding).
The starter spring is pre-wound inside of a metal shroud. It simply drops into place without any hassle. No tension adjustment required.
Make sure that the starter assembly works freely before reassembling the entire string trimmer !

Fortunately, I found a YouTube video that was very similar to my application.
