Priced right
Worked great, it did take some time to get but the wait was worth it due to the fact I needed it because they do not make this gas powered leaf blower anymore and I did not want to let it die, it still did have a lot of life left in it.

Broken starter rope return spring

Tools Used
Pliers, Wrench Set
Parts Used
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 plastic moldings. Reassembling is the most time-consuming because of maintaining alignments of multiple parts.

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 required 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.

Tools Used
, Torx bits
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.
