It is a genuine OEM sourced item that is specially designed for use with Echo handheld lawn and garden equipment. 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 is an identical replacement for a missing or faulty clutch assembly that was originally installed on a new unit, please make sure to refer to the appropriate diagrams of your model for the correct location and application of this component. This high-quality clutch is made of durable metal and is sold individually.
