What happens here
Position the new recoil starter assembly onto the weed eater's engine housing, aligning the bolt holes. Insert the three hex head bolts into their respective holes. Crucially, do not use the impact driver for tightening. Instead, use a hand-held Allen wrench or screwdriver to gently screw in and tighten each bolt until it is snug. This prevents overtightening and potential damage to the plastic housing or the bolts.
Goal: Securely attach the new recoil starter assembly to the weed eater
