String trimmer pull cord repair

Thanks for your support. The more subscribers, the more motivation and time I can put towards videos, even with a full time job. See you guys soon!

I wasn’t able to find any info online on repairing/replacing the pull cord on these newer front side mounted weedwackers. The pull cord is mounted between the motor and the pole. So I decided to post a video that may help make it a little easier for someone. Sorry for the poor video quality.

This is a wc210 25cc craftsman trimmer. But as far as I can tell, there are many makes and models with the same set up. Bolens bl110; bl160, Troy bilt tb25; tb22;, yard machines y765; y25t, craftsman ws205; ht2200; ws4200; ws2200; and probably many more models.

This video is so chopped up its useless. The guy skipps over IMPORTANT issues that a person trying to fix his trimmer would need to know. The MAIN ISSUE is the way Craftsman designed the pull starter. The entire starter assembly is made of PLASTIC. There is a lone steel retainer washer that is tasked with keeping everything together. My retainer worked its way up the shaft and allowed the spring arm to escape its retainer hole in the housing. Once that happens, the spring unwinds itself and the pull cord just falls out. Any good mechanic can figure it out. I am using a small amount of EPOXY to hold my retainer lock in place.

You cut out a lot of good information like is clutch screw reverse thread or standard and a lot of teardown information not shown.

I discovered that the crank cover can be removed then you have two holes in your counterweight in the crank put piston rod in between both of those holes and then put a torx with a handle on one or both sides of the connecting rod and it will hold it in place while you loosen everything.

No if you are mechanically inclined it’s not chopped up. Ty

Probably a long shot you see this but the T15 you use at mark :33. I can’t for the life of me get that screw out. Just keeps spinning. Any tips?

[dennyhall]

I’m putting the pull string back in at video minute 2:02 putting it back in which way does rest of rope go around it? It would help me so much thanks. Otherwise your steps have helped me the entire way thanks

[Andrea_loves_makeup]

Do you have to use the T handle T15 like you have or can you just use any T15? Thank you.

when i install the pull string everything is good until the point that i close everything up and connect the handle. The pull string is hard to pull. any idea why?

[dykesicle]

You got a part number to replace the whole coil?

[stevenberryhill]

My T15 screw is turning but that silver piece won't come off. What's up with that?

[SusanVernon-usuh]

Yes can you tell me what way does the pull cord wind up what direction

[llsquared]

HELP! I'm stuck at the step (second 58) When I turn it it just keeps turning and turning and never unthreads, just keeps spinning to the left. Which is the direction the arrow OFF points. Any suggestions?

For anyone that could help. If I just removed the whole pull cord and just used electric start, would that work?

[dgjunior]

Rope in cylinder trick. But rope is stuck. What can I do ?

[tonypagan]

What's would charge someone for that job?

[BeatMoneyAD]

When I use the t15 to remove the screw, it doesn’t loosen. It keeps spinning the pull string inside. What am I doing wrong? I have the WC2200

[dildarhussain]

[richardreid]

Great video video but at 3.58, the clutch still turns! There has to be a way to stop the whole thing turning?

[silversurferhdz]

All did all the steps, now when I pull it makes scraping noise...help..

[jacksonshermna]

Very helpful man just needed a Quick Look to make sure I was on the right track. It’s a stupid design in my opinion pull cords always break so it should be one the easiest parts to access
