Product Description

?

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.

Broken clutch springs

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 p ut 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.

5. Clutch is screwed onto the shaft, left to loosen, right to tighten. I use a large Crescent wrench and a small screwdriver inserted in to the pull rope assembly to prevent the shaft from turning while loosening.
5. Reassemble in reverse order.
Note: When reinstalling the black outer clutch cover, look at the position of the wires and throttle cable, make sure they don\'t interfere with throttle handle, squeeze the throttle handle several times to insure smooth operation.
