1) Malfunction trimmer clutch: At idle, the knife turns almost always, extraneous sounds are heard in the front of the engine, while the trimmer mows normally.

The grip of the brushcutter is the same as that of the trimmer.

Causes malfunctions: The trimmer clutch spring has burst (the brushcutter clutch spring has burst).

Repair DIY trimmer: Replace the broken clutch spring with a new one (see details below How to remove the clutch on the trimmer). Or, if only the edge of the hook breaks off on the spring, you can heat the spring with a burner, bend one ring to make a new hook and harden the spring (such a clutch spring can even work for several years).

Do-it-yourself repair of petrol cutters is similar to repairing a trimmer.

2) Malfunction Trimmer Clutch: The trimmer clutch often slips, sometimes the clutch spring bursts.

The grip of the brushcutter is like a trimmer.

Causes malfunctions: Worn trimmer clutch pads (brushcutters clutch pads).

Repair DIY chainsaws: Replace the trimmer clutch pads (see details below How to remove the clutch on the trimmer).

Do-it-yourself petrol brush repair is the same as trimmer repair.

  1. To remove the clutch on the trimmer (removing the clutch on a petrol cutter is the same), you must first remove the muffler cover, metal stand, starter cover and cylinder cover so that they do not interfere with removing the trimmer clutch cover.
  2. Remove the shock absorber cover (by unscrewing the two side screws), release the bolt tightening the shock absorber and remove the pipe from the shock absorber.
  3. Unscrew 3 or 4 bolts and remove the clutch cover.
  4. We evaluate the wear of the pads and the clutch drum, see if the spring is broken, and inspect the condition of the bearing.
  5. To replace, for example, the clutch pads (weights) of the trimmer, it is necessary to remove the clutch spring, and then unscrew the axle bolts on the pads (if necessary, after locking the crankshaft, pushing a rope into the plug hole when the piston is in BDC).

While the trimmer is idling, the clutch pads, although they rotate with the crankshaft, do not touch the clutch drum, since they are compressed by a spring and do not transmit torque from the engine to the cutting equipment.

When the engine is running at speeds above idle (above 4000 rpm), the clutch weights are expanded under the influence of centrifugal force (overcoming the spring force) and resting their outer friction surface against the inner surface of the clutch drum, they begin to rotate it, thereby transmitting torque from motor on the trimmer cutting equipment (or petrol cutters).

Hello, tell me why the springs are breaking on the clutch of the petrol scooter.

I think the clutch spring has burst, the trimmer clutch spring often breaks because:

1. Wear of the pads, and maybe the clutch drum (which leads to the stretching of the spring during operation longer than normal).

2. Uneven wear of the pads from some side (the spring bends).

3. Wear of pads fastening bushings (causing backlash of pads and spring bias).

4. Check that the shoe mounting bolts are tight and that the trimmer clutch drum is not wobbling.

5. Incorrect installation of the clutch spring is impossible by inserting a screwdriver into the hole, tension the spring, trying to put the spring ear into the hole in the shoe.It is necessary to remove the pads from the braid, hook the ends of the spring to the holes in the pads, put the pads in a normal position to each other (in the hands with the spring on), then install the assembled pads with the spring on the braid and tighten the fasteners (special bolts, preferably new, so that they did not loosen during operation).

6. Incorrect operation of the trimmer. The manner of mowing pressed the gas, released the gas, pressed the gas, released the gas As a result of overheating of the clutch and the spring, which leads to its fragility and premature wear of the trimmer clutch. It is necessary, during mowing, to try to keep the same engine speed, and with the gas button only adjust the speed depending on the load (depending on the density of the grass).
