Hey everyone. I’m trying to help out a friend with her string trimmer that’s having issues. It’s a manual load trimmer, and was working fine for a bit but every time I try to use it now, as soon as I give it gas, it throws the string I’ve loaded right out. Whenever I load it, it locks into place as it should but as soon as you get ready to actually start using it, it’ll just dump both sides of the string. I’ve attached some pictures of the head both together and taken apart. As far as I can tell nothing seems to be wrong with it just by looking but I’m obviously missing something here. Can anyone help?
Have the length of the strings pulled out the opposite sides they are in the picture.
Nope never mind, that looks ok, now I’m really not sure

Maybe the springs that hold the line have given up the ghost, or you have the wrong sized trimmer line.
