Replace the recoil on a toro gas trimmer - Toro Garden

SOURCE: I have a

Most use the same attachment and you can replace it.

SOURCE: It's discontinued. How can I find parts to replace? I need a shaft attacher. Isn't this model the same as another ? anyone?

I found a Toro 51950 in garage sale for $5.00
I got it thinking I could give it to my son-in-law and daughter, who just moved from an apartment to a home. What's 5 bucks for a trimmer?
But It was missing the grass shield and the air filter cover.
I spent 3 days searching and found a web site called SuperXPower.com
I clicked under HOMELITE PARTS and then under TORO HAND HELD then clicked MODEL 51950.
I ordered the parts last night, but never got an email confirmation, I called their 800 number (M-F 8-5 CST) and the parts man said they got my order and they will contact HOMELITE and get the parts from them and then ship them on to me. Their phone number was 866-983-3799.
I don't know if HOMELITE has the parts or if I will actually get the parts - but this gives me hope I will be able to fix up this trimmer.
Hope this helps.

Probably the recoil spring is broken.

SOURCE: replace recoil starter for Homelite trimmer Model UT21546

My UT21546 has 2 springs, the regular recoil one and a what I'll call a anti kickback one. the top of the anti kickback spring kept coming unsecured and finally I just deleated it alltogther and screwed the 2 plates tightly togehter and the near new unit works better than new now.
