Parts For Homelite UT-20769 Trimmer

[lindylex]

I am having some difficulty finding parts for this trimmer. This is my issue. I can find them at various sources. Does anyone have a source that might have most of the part so I can minimize on shipping cost?

These are the part numbers.

98766A GASKET-Carburetor
06900A GASKET-Heat Dam
04388B GASKET-Cylinder
08661 GASKET-Crankcase Cove
PS04000 GASKET-Muffler

- Can I make a muffler gasket? If yes what kind of material is used that handles the heat?

You may be able to find a muffler gasket sheet at AZ, AA, Oreiilys, etc and cut it. Bet it would be a royal pain. You may find an old Homelite trimmer on FB or CL - then rob the parts. Bad timing - I recently gave one of these away in a lot of broken trimmers.

Order than all from a mower shop or better still from a repair shop that does not sell new mowers.
All of the after market parts companies like Rotary, Oregon, Prime Line, Stens do a pack of assorted squares of gasket board
The muffler ones are a PIA to cut I use a knibbler
To do the holes I clamp it between 2 sheets of scrap ply or MDF and drill though.
Even then the holes need trimming
Stens part number is 480-806

Thanks dougand3 and bertsmobile1 for the help. I emailed 4 local shops to see if they have parts. I await a response.
I have noticed in the past that they have model numbers for parts from newer trimmers that do match. What I have always wanted to know is. Is there a resource where I can see chronologically the models made by any manufacturer?

Not as far as I know.
ARI who supply the parts lists you see on most retail web sites are the closest you will get and it costs big bucks to have a direct subscription.
Even then they can only archive & make available the IPL's that the manufacturers sell to them and many Sthil is a good example will only allow registered Stihl dealers to access this information .

They try to make it all so difficult for anyone to repair.
