I'm trying to replace the pull cord and instructions aren't included in the manual. I've got everything back in place but can't get it to wind... or rather when I wind it manually am unable to put the weedeater back together without it unwinding.

Should I be winding it manually left or right?

I still need to reconnect the power etc. and re-assemble the entire weedeater.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

See the sticky at the beginning of this topic.

I did look at the sticky... OK, here's what happened. The orig cord snaped about an inch from the pully. I removed it cut off the excess and basically shortened the cord an inch to 2 inches... I replaced the cord as it had :D will let you know how it goes.

Half my reply disappeared on posting!! Should have read:... I replace the cord as it had been orig. and did the pull test / winding thing, but when I reassemble the weedeater the cord now dangles about 1-2 inches from the motor housing, don't know if this matters or is just annoying to me... I am about to try it out anyway before the weeds take over my yard and the dogs disappear :D will let you know how it goes.

Nope didn't work... grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I'm trying to take of the spinny thingy with the fins and I'm having a lot of trouble any advice on how to take it apart
