QuestionHi, I have a sears backpack blower and a trimmer that are having issues. The blower will not crank, it has the incredipull start system (model 316.794990), which seems as it is broken, as it will pull, but there is a clicking sound and it turns the starter inside a very little bit each time. The trimmer has a broken pull start rope (model 358.795800). I figure that it shouldn't be too hard to repair these items, but I would like to find a manual for repair. Any ideas? The main issue is that both items are under the two year warranty (made in 2005), but I cannot find the receipt, so it will be $95 each to repair them. Seems as though the parts are under $50, I should do it myself, but want to make sure I am getting it right.
Answerfist of all sears products are made by other companies. so alot of times if sears.com doesn,t take you to a go page>>>> determine who made your unit for them and go there. a good sourse is weedeatter company . com also try m-and-d.com and search around. as you have said... alot of times the parts needed are cheap, but labor to have repaired end up exceeding the cost of just plain replacing the unit unless its the more exspencive models. most of times the $99.00 dollar models???????? unless your handy, its just better to close your eyes and disgard them sorry to say
