Two-Cycle Engine Clutch Replacement

This video provides general information on two-cycle engine clutches and general installation guidelines.

Chainsaw chain not turning

The clutch pads engage the clutch drum to allow the chain to rotate. If the clutch pads are worn out, the motor will run, but the clutch pads will not engage the clutch drum. As a result, the chain won't turn. Make sure that the stop lever is disengaged. If the stop lever is engaged, the chain won't turn. If the clutch pads are worn out, replace the clutch assembly.

Chainsaw chain won't stop turning

The clutch pads engage the clutch drum to rotate the chain. When the engine slows, the return springs retract the pads to disengage the chain. If the springs are broken, the clutch pads won’t retract, preventing the chain from stopping. If the clutch pads are sticking, the clutch drum will stay engaged and continue to turn. If the springs are broken or the clutch pads are sticking, replace the clutch assembly.

Chainsaw not cutting

The clutch pads engage the clutch drum to rotate the chain. If the clutch pads are worn out, they will not exert enough pressure on the clutch drum. As a result, the chainsaw won't cut properly. If the clutch pads are worn out, either repair or replace the clutch assembly.

String trimmer head won't spin

The clutch engages one or more drive shafts which attach to the trimmer head. If the clutch assembly is worn out, it won’t be able to engage the drive shafts to rotate the trimmer head. You may be able to clean and repair the clutch assembly. However, since replacing the clutch is relatively easy and inexpensive, it may be easier to replace the clutch assembly.

String trimmer head won't stop spinning

The clutch engages the clutch pads to spin the trimmer head. If the clutch assembly is defective, the clutch will not disengage the clutch pads, and the trimmer head will continue to spin, even at low speeds. If the clutch is defective, replace it. (Note: some string trimmers do not have a clutch. If your string trimmer does not have a clutch, the trimmer head will spin whenever the engine is running.)
