That shoe looks polished on the right hand side of the crack face, probably been cracking for a while. Of it may have lasted a lot longer inside the drum...

I’m open to any theory that makes it less my fault.
Now I think about it, I had taken the drum off to track down a rattle. Perhaps it was already fully broken and held together by a combination of the spring, the drum and luck.

My looking for the ipl on bakealteradio was to no avail 

 

but just from the flywheel 4119 and pic’s on the web, I recon fs220 

 

and be fore a post this I see you posted other numbers.. not that I’ve looked any more yet ?

What made you say 220 rather than 160, 180 or 280? The drive shaft is 6mm square ended like that document says the 220 and 280 are but the length is wrong so how much can I trust it?

What I really could do with doing is looking at the flywheel again, not a job for quarter to midnight though.

It’s the wrong spring there are two in your pic it should be one bigger one..

 

l&s engineers have a bit of a general parts diagram. I think you maybe hard pushed to find some parts..

 

if you google fs 180 or 220 etc.. and click the picture tab it come up with,,, yes you guessed it pics?.  Of the search sometimes the wrong pics come up but you have the strimmer maybe you can get different views  and compare.

 

i never got any further w8th the other part numbers you gave.. some things are universal to other models. So the other thing would be to maybe measure the piston, it could be easy by taking the exhaust off and  sticking a  measuring thing in and seeing if it’s 38 or 40mm but I,m not sure if it really helps identify it,  if breaking something while talking it apart, it would be an arssake to replace. so just track the parts to fix only what is needed..

To answer your last question why I choose 220.

 

the side cover air filter  and a few other bits I could see and compared it to pics of the searches as I said in my last reply

I really can't see why you'd bother repairing something like that. Donate it to your local steam museum, the volunteers there would love a weekend project!

Sometime old is better than new plastic/stuff.  

 I,m a fixer rather than a throw it.. but if you need somthing for a job and it lets you down, then new or old is no good. ?

Thanks very much for all your help, Wonky. I'm just going to take your word for it. You've looked harder than I have.

 

Why use a relic, doobin? Because someone gave it to me for free and I'm going to use it to strim 50 square metres (a two-hundredth of a hectare) behind my house about five times a year. My clutch lesson will cost me £5.91, cheap education in my book, and I'll frankenstein a head on from another strimmer I was given. I'll then only have the swingeing cost of a spark plug to amortize.

The other strimmer I was given is much newer. It's in far worse condition, more missing, more broken.
