This is an authentic OEM sourced part which is specially made for Echo chainsaws. A centrifugal clutch is a part that uses centrifugal force to connect two concentric shafts, with the driving shaft nested inside the driven shaft. Today’s centrifugal clutches will function even when they shouldn’t, far beyond the point of when they need to be replaced. Keeping an eye on equipment performance will determine when the centrifugal clutch requires attention. This clutch is made out of metal and it is sold individually. Keep in mind the clutch drum, spacer and washer are all sold separately. Please make sure to refer to the appropriate diagrams of your model for the correct location and application of this component.

Tool Type
Chain Saw
Difficulty
Medium
Time
30-60 minutes
Tools Used
Socket set, Hammer and punch
Remove the outer housing. Remove the chain bar and chain. Remove excess dirt and foreign material. Removing the old clutch assembly is the most difficult part because the clutch assembly has to be struck with a hammer and punch to remove from threaded shaft. The thread is a left hand. Once removed, clean the area and replace the clutch assembly. Reassemble the chain bar and housing.

This creates a quick jolt to loosen the assembly.

Adjuster was replaced easily. The clutch tool keeps slipping away from old clutch and I've not gotten it off yet to replace it. I am going to try again and may get another set of hands to help. I do know it goes on reverse.

, Hammer and punch
Removed clutch assembly, by turning the spring as a left-handed thread. The punch was placed on the shoulder of the “Y” piece of the spring assembly. Then all pieces were removed and replaced. There is a socket available that will fit the front of the spring assembly, and using an impact can remove the spring assembly.
