I threw this out to the hubby says it probably is spring loaded and sometimes 
..  ok here comes the technical part --  it just gets kinda fused to itself 
from the heat and the friction.  He didn't add any more than Libby did.  Could 
be the line is the wrong size too -- probably have to google the right size if 
it's anything other 060.

Keep trying??  Those things are very frustrating!

  With an old one I used to have you had to bump the string holder on solid 
ground while it was running. There was a big bulbous thing in the center of the 
unit and you had to bump that flat on the ground. Never worked really well but 
that is how it was supposed to work. Otherwise, hold in on it and pull on the 
string with tweezers or needlenose pliers. The string will feed out a few 
inches at a time. Then depress again and repeat. 

  Or hire some kid to do it!

          I have an apparently old model (belongs to the neighbor...I'm her 
lawngirl) and it needs string.  It has to be put in the spool....and I'm not 
doing something right.  

          I managed to get it loaded.  And used it some but then the string 
wore off I guess...cuz when I flipped it over there wasn't any string coming 
out.  

          Maybe I'm making it too hard.  Getting another isn't an option.  I 
just need to get this one up and running again.
