ordered new handle for my HRX. The studs had broken off on bottom end. I tried to swap the controls over without disassembling but the control piece fell apart on me. Now I have to figure out how it all goes back together and will need schematics to figure it out - or detailed pictures like I should have taken in the first place. But even that may not be enough to show the spacers and all.

I just got it running perfect with all your help here - new carb and all carb gaskets. Now I'm stuck with the handle repair.

Hey Mark. Whatever you tried to post came up as error.

Duh!

Thank you so much!!!

Need help figuring out how to install silver spring inside speed handle. I have it in place in picture but it's not doing anything. I can't figure out what the spring ends should be hitting.

Another pic

Here's a pic of another HRX that should help; the spring appears to be reversed in your image. This photo was made with both drive and blade levers held all the way forward for clarity:

Thank you Robert!

All buttoned up and running like new! I could not have done this without Robert and Mark. Here are a few pics:

For anyone else trying this. Make sure you connect this big spring before putting the speed handle on the stud. I tried to connect the spring after and stabbed myself in hand with needle nose pliers. Then I realize you need to disconnect the handle and cable in order to put spring on and then slide the handle over stud. Once you figure it out it's relatively easy.
