This is a genuine OEM replacement part, it is sold individually. It is used on specific Gas Trimmers. The purpose of this part is to mix air and gas before the fuel mix goes to the engine. If the engine won't start and the tank is full of fresh fuel, test the carburetor by removing the air filter and pouring about a teaspoon of fuel into the carburetor. Pull the starter rope. If the engine starts and then quickly dies, the carburetor is likely the problem.

I tested the carb with starter spray by spraying some into the carb, and it started briefly so I knew the carb was not sending air and fuel to the cylinder. Rather that rebuilding the carb it was easier just to replace it.
Removed the two gas lines from the carburetor removed the two screws holding it in place under the air cleaner unhook the throttle cable.
Used new gasket and carburetor from ereplacementparts in reverse order. It was simple primed the carburetor pulled the starter three times back in business
