What is the Purpose of Each of These Items?

Hey Y'all,

I recently purchased a used Husky 128LD trimmer. It seems to be in good overall mechanical condition but leaks fuel and sometimes doesn't run correctly. I went ahead and purchased a fairly comprehensive kit including a carb (below). I think the main issue is with the fuel lines, so I plan to start with renewing those and maybe the plug and do the rest if and when necessary. I'm wondering what these items are that came with the kit: The wire with the ring and the spring (circled in the screenshot and an actual pic of the parts included). Guessing the wire with the ring may be for pulling fuel lines, but that's just a guess. ...and the spring? No clue. Can anyone enlighten me, please?

Thanks!

Looks like they are to hold down a keyboard to me. Working pretty good per the pictures too.

The little cable assembly is for grabbing the hose end once it is forced through the tank grommet, that way the filter can be put on the end of the hose and dropped back in the tank.

The spring is a stronger throttle tension spring in the event you feel that the throttle response is too quick or if the original breaks someday.

The rest of the parts are future service spares to use as they are needed. Lots of carburetor are sold with spares these days to "sweeten the deal" for the potential buyer.

Thanks Doc 🙂 That kit came with not a single piece of paper saying what any of it is.

Actually the small wire ring is suppose to slip over the fuel line install the fuel filter and then slip the wire ring down over the hose/filter connector to act as a retainer.
