Husqvarna String Trimmer Clutch Replacement

[@sampickett3843]

Looks like the new clutch was installed upside down compared to what the old one looked like before removal.

[@mcscheck2000]

Thank God someone else noticed this too I thought I saw that. Matter fact when he removed it first it was on backwards. At least that's the way mine are installed.

Are clutches for a weed eater interchangeable with the clutch on a chainsaw, i cannot find a clutch for a Hyper Tough weed eater model number Hy26CST . it would be easier to find if it was interchangeable ,

[@HillBilly-1]

Can you disable the clutch or would that cause harm to the motor.

[@conner5611]

I mean you can but the trimmer head would spin constantly which Dangerous

[@HillBilly-1]

My current trimmer has no clutch. Let off the throttle and it spins at idle. Only use throttle when I need it just want to know if it will cause damage to the equipment by delete the clutch

[@conner5611]

@@HillBilly-1 no its wont damage the motor but the clutch would have to modifed to be stuck open all the time cause if you delete it there would be no connection from the flywheel to the clutch drum that spins the cable

@@conner5611 thank you that's what I was looking for don't like clutches on trimmers since that's what I'm use to but can't find any like that

What happen to the drum😢

[@TheStephenspann27]

if that clutch is rattling, is that an indication that it's worn out?

[@conner5611]

No some rattling is normal at low engine speeds

Tried it and it was really easy to do but now the cylinder is almost stuck. I can get it to move using a wrench on the clutch but even then, it's difficult. It was moving fine until I stuck the rope in the cylinder. What could have gone wrong ? Could a piece of rope have jammed up somewhere in the cylinder ? Any ideas ?

[@Proud2bashamed]

That sounds like exactly what happened. I never heard of shoving a piece of rope down the cylinder until now, and to be honest it sounds like a terrible idea. Maybe try shining a light down through the exhaust port with the cylinder all of the way down and looking in through the spark plug hole to confirm there is a piece of string. If you do see it, you may have a chance of grabbing it with a pair of long surgical tweezers. If you can't get it out, or figure out what is causing the cylinder to stick, you either want to pull the head or take it to someone who can. It's rarely if ever a good idea to force a sticky piston.

[@ivokraaier9740]

@@Proud2bashamed since head and cylinder are usually one in these machines, just pull the whole cylinder. i've avoided putting anything in the cylinder by using an electric impact driver on a crankshaft nut.. no need to block anything, the impact only loosened the nut (and would do the same to the clutch) before the crankshaft would pick up the momentum.

As Sam Pickett said.....you installed the new clutch upside down , spring up! WTH?! then at 3:10 you magically show it installed correct????

[@rikityrik]

I bought mine new and it’s on the way he initially installed it (spring out) I wonder if it doesn’t make a difference? Idk
