The replacement of the carburetor, O-ring, and gasket was simple. I removed 2 screws that held the air cleaner and carburetor in place, swapped them out, and replaced the screws. What took longest was finding a piece of fuel line after breaking one of them. It was brittle after hanging in my garage for several years. I found some in my garage and replaced it. It took a few pulls to get it started, but ran very smooth.

Additional information: rather than mixing my fuel, I purchased 40:1 pre-mix fuel to prevent gunking up the carburetor in the future. I use it in my other trimmer and have not had any issues.

The fuel tank is held in place by 2 screws. Simply take the screws off and pull off the fuel lines.
Take the new fuel tank. Put it in place and screw the 2 screws in to hold the fuel tank.
Connect the fuel lines and you're done.
This is the easiest repair I have ever done on any of my lawn equipment.

1. Remove Shaft & clutch cover by removing 3 torx screws and loosening cinch bolt.

2. Remove clutch assembly with torx tool in center and then by cinching the shaft and turning spring assembly counter clockwise with an adjustable wrench.

3. Remove starter housing by removing 3 Torx bolts from the front and a screw from the back.

4 Reverse the process.

Removed 2 screws securing the air cleaner and carburetor to the engine using a T25 Torx driver. then removed the throttle cable from the carb.Then removed the o ring gasket from the engine and replaced with a new one and replaced the carb etc. Primed it and fired it up.Runs just like new.

Drive shaft replacement was very easy . Minimal tools were required. Just disconnect the throttle cable, mainly for easier movement of trigger handle. Then remove the guide handle and the trigger mechanism and base. Reassemble reverse order.
