I have most of the pieces Hello wityman, You may want to contact the place of purchase, or a link removed Authorized Service Center in your area and explain to them what happened.

Hopefully they will take care of you. Good luck, -WJA. I had the same thing happen and it was the string that played out and grabbed the guard and ripped it off. However, I went to a local junkyard for weedeaters and found one for a buck.

I installed this on my old r, and laid the trimmer gently down on the floor. Came back 3 days later and it had broken off. Never turned the motor on after installing. Am getting a replacement and crossing my fingers. I wonder if they've changed the plastic on these.

I'm the person "" who wrote about the guard shattering before even being used. Well, I installed the replacement guard extremely carefully, taking all kinds of precautions.

The line forms its own seal to the tank. The old line has probably become hard and brittle with age. This will cause the line to no longer seal and the tank to leak.

I hope this helps, -UtahAV -Mark. Hello Ronnie, I agree with Mark. However, sometimes it can be a real pain to rethread the new lines. I have seen something else done in this regard that has worked for those who dont have the tools or know how.

While I dont recommend this myself, it has worked for others. Be careful! How far do I need to insert the return fuel line into the tank?? Hello DanW, The return fuel line just needs to be inserted in to the tank about 1 inch. Question: Fuelreturn Line lousolomon. GOOD info.
