Can anyone recommend a plastic straw that will allow a pull through to pass into the barrel of a 1701P? I've got one of those nicely made Crown Savers , but it just wont go past the ports.

I use drinking straws, but realize they come in different diameters. In a pinch, roll up some paper smaller in diameter than the opening of the shroud, insert it and let it unravel. Fiddly operation, but it works. Keep searching for the right one. Also, twisting the straw while inserting into the barrel helps to get past the shroud baffles. Weed whacker line is prone to hang up much more than a Crown Saver because it keeps trying to coil up.
