Genuine OEM replacement kit used on Gas Trimmers and Tillers. This part includes: Clutch Drum, Clutch and Clutch Washers. 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.

VERY EASY REPAIR
PART FIT PERFECTLY AND WORKS GREAT ON AN OLD CUB CADET WEEDEATER. THE BLOWN UP PICTURE MAKE IT EASY TO SELECT PART. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE LITTLE SCREW INSIDE THE OUTSIDE CLUTCH HOUSING, IT WOULD HAVE NEVER GOT TIGHTENED IF I HAD NOT LOOKED MORE CAREFULLY AT THE CLUTCH HOUSING

Broken clutch drum body

Difficulty
Medium
Time

Tools Used
Screwdriver, Torx driver, hammer
Parts Used
Remove the clutch cover assembly. The remove the spark plug , then put some rope inside of the cylinder to stop the piston, make sure you leave 4 or 5 inches of rope outside of the cylinder. Then pull the starter rope slowly until the piston comes in contact with the rope and stops. Use a Torx screw to remove the clutch drum. Sorry I cannot remember the size. Then take a screwdriver and hammer, put the screwdriver on a outside edge of the clutch, then strike the hammer and the clutch will come of. It is a standard RH thread. Replace the washers, then thread the new clutch on hand tight, then screw on the clutch drum. Install the spark plug. Then put the clutch cover assembly back on, and your ready to go.

Parts Used
Removed shaft from clutch/engine assembly. Also had to remove wires from handle/switch to pull the shaft up and over the main assembly. I removed all the broken clutch pieces but there was one tricky part. Part of the clutch assembly was threaded onto the crankshaft and there wasn't an easy way to unscrew it without also turning the crankshaft. There was no easy way to hold the crankshaft since it is cylindrical, so I just used large vise grips (or any locking pliers) with a larger surface grabbing area and clamped them very tightly on the crankshaft to hold it still. The with a set of slip-joint pliers I unscrewed the clutch assembly. I put the new one on the same way, minding the two different sizes of washers that need to be replaced. The metal cap is put over the whole thing. When putting the trimmer shaft back onto the clutch/engine assembly, you need to be mindful that the square end of the inner shaft cable fits directly into the center hole of the clutch assembly, which is also square. Replace torx screws and if it works, you did it right!

The process is fairly simple, and once you have accessed the clutch the repair is fairly easy. Just make sure the clutch drum is connected to the flex drive before buttoning everything up. In my situation the clutch wasn't the problem, after I made the repair and my trimmer head still did not rotate I decided to investigate the gear box, and discovered my flex drive had sheared off at the gear. So if the trimmer head stops spinning suddenly I would recommend looking into the flex drive entirely.

Remove the clutch cover. Then remove the spark plug and insert a length of rope into the cylinder, leaving a few inches out. Then pull on the starter rope until the piston comes in contact with the rope and stops the engine from turning. Then using a torx T-20 (As I remember it might be a T-25) remove the clutch drum. Then with safety glasses on, strike an edge of the clutch with a hammer and screwdriver until it is loose, once usually does it. Then remove the old starter housing assembly by removing the screws that secure it. An install the new one. Replace the clutch assembly and clutch cover in reverse order of tear down. Remove the rope from the cylinder, and install the new spark plug gapped at 0.025 I also replaced the o-ring between the cylinder and rocker cover.
