Genuine OEM replacement kit used on Gas Trimmers and Tillers. This part includes: Clutch Drum, Clutch, Clutch Washer and the Screw which has a left-handed thread. 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.

Does this fit my product?Questions & Answers for Clutch Asm Small
My weed eater cord will not pull allowing me to start the weed eater. Will this part fix my problem or do I need a new pull cord?

asked on 2023-03-29
Hi Velinda,
Thank you for your question. If your cord will not pull/retract, the small clutch assembly may resolve the issue, but we would also recommend checking the starter spring, rope and pulley. These parts are part of the starter assembly for your model. We have included a link from our website that you may reference on how to check these parts, https://www.ereplacementparts.com/repair-center/lawn-equipment/trimmer/starter-rope-won't-retract/. Once you have determined the part you need, please call customer service. We look forward to hearing from you!

There was a handy repair video on YouTube that explained every step of the process. I think it was from this website (90% positive). It answered the question of how to lock down the motor so you can remove the clutch. (spoiler-shove a short piece of rope into the spark plug hole). And then tap the clutch off with a screwdriver and hammer.

I removed rear cover, removed the carburetor, unhooked throttle cable. Took off the clutch by binding the piston with a piece of rope. I took of starter, disconnected the wire. I let the starter rope feed back into the pulley to release the tension in the spring, then removed the tabs that hold the pulley in. Re-tension the spring, then put everything back together. The I removed the old clutch and reinstalled the new one.
I found out you don't need to take off the carb, if you just remove the throttle cable.
