Very simple repair...took the old carburetor off and installed the new one. After replacement, the weed eater fired up after the second pull. Cover, removed 4 bolts. Carburetor, three bolts. Removed two hoses, choke handle and installed. Order gasket...never hurts to replace gaskets. One other thing, most important...use premix fuel!!! I use it in all gas powered equipment now. Cleaner and does not gum up filters and carburetor.
Fixed up somebody's old trimmer they threw at the curb
This trimmer was in relatively good shape. Somebody had thrown it out! They thought they had broke the rewind, but when I ended up taking it off, it sucked right back in. They also must have broke the vibration plate on the bottom. With the screws and plate I bought from here, plus a new head and service kit I got elsewhere , this thing ran like a champion again.
replaced with new Kevlar belt following threading guide diagram on deck. Only had to loosen several small screws to remove protective shield to allow space for threading new belt onto pulleys.
