Hi Chuck,
Thank you for your question. Before we can provide you with information on the starter assembly, we will need the model number from the trimmer. The model number will start with 41 or 42 and will be found on the left or right side of the stater housing. If you could resubmit your question with this information, we would be happy to help you. We are open 7 days a week. We look forward to hearing from you!
