Vintage Paramount Model PLT 2857 Trimmer!?

[rwh963]

found this very interesting commercial quality trimmer tossed on the metal pile. missing the recoil rope, and the fuel line was toast. besides that, seemed intact. tank was dry, spark plug like new. dragged it home, pulled the front end off, replaced the recoil rope. buttoned up, compression sounded very good. haven't started it yet. no primer bulb on this, only one fuel line. sexy silver polished manual choke on the rear.

anybody know about this bad boy (i believe it was made by Poulan in Louisiana)?

This is a very old thread and I doubt you would ever respond, but how did you replace the pull cord? I have the same exact weed eater and I cannot find any information about it elsewhere.
