Hello Guys,

I am having a hard time in pull starting my Weedeater Featherlite XT114. It became very difficult to pull the cord. Kindly tell me the ways of fixing it.

Thanks a lot

Hi Ellen,

The most important part of any Weedeater is pull start. Well, you can fix it at home by simply following the above given steps of disassembling and fixing the Weedeater’s pull start in order to make it work.

  • Firstly, remove a sparkplug cord. Turn your Weedeater for making the pull start easily available.
  • Now remove all the screws. Remove a fixed spring clip, rope rotor, pawl and washer from the middle of housing.
  • Afterwards, link an overhand loop at pull start cord. Carefully, feed a free end through the uppermost part of the pull hand.
  • Now, thread the cord via a hole in starter rotor. Place the washer and pawl back on Weedeater’s starter post.
  • Add tightness to the rotor assemblage by simply turning it 6 times counterclockwise. Be very careful while holding the rotor in its place.
  • Finally, release a rotor & guide the cord onto a rotor slowly. This will stiff and wind the cord on a rotor. Your work is done just place a cover back on it.
