SOURCE: Installing new line on my string grass trimmer

Cut two separate pieces of string, about 7 ft. each.

Stick the end of the line in the hole on the inside of spool.

Wind clockwise onto spool, putting the line that is closest to the ground on first.

Once you have winded this piece on, lock the last 4 inches of line through the slits on spool.

Repeat process for second piece of line, locking the last 4 inches in slot opposite the other locked in piece.

Put the spool on the trimmer, feeding the end of lines through either hole on trimmer.

Before you push the spool all the way on, pull the strings out of the locked position.

SOURCE: removing spool from homelite 13 inch electric trimmer

The entire cap does not come off. You push the buttons in on each side and only the very top of the cap comes off.

SOURCE: homelite grass trimmer won't automatic feed line

What I've found it to be is usually this - the line itself has tightened inside the spool in a way that has kinda "kinked" it - gotten off the desired spiral spooling we so carefully prepared. So just opened it up, un-wind it a bit, re-wind again and move on ... no big deal, but yes it is frustrating ...

SOURCE: Can't figure out how to replace the trimmer line

Throw the trimmer spool in the garbage and get a Gator head. It will be the best $20.00 you ever spent.

When my flymo lite 250 engine is running the end does not turn to cut the grass

Could be anything from a stripped drive shaft to a loose or stripped trimmer head. You'll probably need to take it to a repair shop to have them diagnose the problem and locate the replacement parts if it's anything other than a stripped trimmer head bolt.

Need to find where air cleaner is ?

If your unit has one, it would be in front of the carburetor. Some Ryobis and Homelite trimmers do not have an air filter on them, just a screen inside the choke cover.

How do I feed string into my Homelite Mighty Lite 26ss grass trimmer? I don't have a manual and I can't figure it out. Thank you!

cut a 6 ft piece and wind it (starting with the middle of the trim line) around the head with each head going opposite directions. When you get it wound up, you will have two pieces sticking out in opposite directions and they can be clipped into the small plastic slots on the edge of the string canister. THen press the ball on, and attach to the trimmer.. Just keep the string the grooves and you will be fine...


OHYEAH!!! dont worry if it keeps coming unwound or pops off the trimmer at first, it will happen until you develop the technique needed for a quick replacement


GOOD LUCK AND PLS RATE THIS POST!!!!!!

Strimmer starts ok but strimmer head does not spin fast enough to cut grass

It sounds like the square end in the handle has rounded some and let cable slip

Weedeater starts fine but the string head will not spin. I removed the string head, and the shaft it connects to is not spinning either.

The shaft cable has either come loose at the head, or is broken at the engine most likely. Is this a 2 piece unit? If so, see if the cable turns with the grass trimmer section removed. If so, it is usually easiest to just replace the trimmer shaft section. One piece units require disassembly at the engine, and if you are not mechanically inclined, that can be a pain.

How do you take the spool off the Homelite gas grass trimmer?

Push in on the spool & turn counter clockwise. This works for most trimmers. Careful though, the center spring may pop off with the spool. (I wouldn't do it on a hill)
