Yard Machines string trimmers are built on MTD platforms and engineered for reliable lawn edging and trimming. When your trimmer won't start, loses cutting power, or won't feed line, the fix is usually straightforward — and Repair Clinic carries the OEM parts you need. Whether it's a fuel system issue, a worn trimmer head, or a seized recoil starter, we'll help you get back to yard work.
String trimmer repairs often come down to seasonal maintenance or one high-wear part. The most common fixes are affordable and doable in minutes: a new primer bulb, a trimmer head spool, fresh spark plug, or a carburetor kit. Have your model number ready, and we'll match you with the exact replacement parts.

The most common reason is carburetor buildup from stale fuel left over the off-season. Ethanol in gasoline breaks down and leaves sticky varnish in the carburetor jets, blocking fuel flow. If the engine cranks but won't catch, try a carburetor rebuild kit first — it's a $15 to $25 fix. If it won't crank at all, the recoil starter may have failed. A fouled or gapped spark plug is also a frequent culprit; replace it as part of spring startup maintenance.
Yard Machines bump heads advance line automatically when you tap the head on the ground. To reload, unscrew the spool cap (usually clockwise), remove the old spool, and wind new trimmer line (.065".080", or.095" depending on your model) onto the replacement spool in the direction marked on the spool. Insert the new spool, replace the cap, and you're ready to trim. If the spool is cracked or the head won't feed line even with fresh line, replace the entire trimmer head assembly — OEM Yard Machines heads ensure proper line feeding and durability.
The model number is stamped on the shaft housing or the top of the engine (carburetor area). It usually looks like "21A-64C234" or similar. Write it down and use our model number lookup tool — it will pull up every part specific to your trimmer, from carburetors to fuel lines to the exact trimmer head spool you need. If you can't find the number, a photo of the engine or trimmer head often helps us identify it.
Partial blockage in the fuel line or a clogged air filter are the most common power-loss causes. The engine starves for air or fuel and bogs down. Check the air filter first — it's the easiest fix. If that's clean, inspect the fuel line for cracks or kinks; a cracked line lets air in, disrupting fuel flow. A worn spark plug gap can also cause weak ignition. OEM Yard Machines fuel lines and air filters are inexpensive and restore full cutting power.

On Yard Machines string trimmers, look for the model number stamped or printed on the shaft housing, near the engine, or around the carburetor area. Check the top of the engine and the main housing for a label or plate, then copy every letter, number, and hyphen exactly as shown. Enter that number in the model number search to pull up the parts matched to your unit. The model number identifies the entire trimmer, so it narrows the full catalog across fuel, ignition, cutting head, starter, and other parts categories to parts built for your specific Yard Machines model.
