Hi
Great forum, have already managed to glean some useful information. But I'm a little stuck with my Ryobi 3046yb trimmer.
Over the least week I've noticed the trimmer head occasionally running a little lazily, even when I vary the throttle up and down. Today I attached my expand-it tiller (which worked fine in the past) but the tines spun very slowly and wouldn't even turn in loose sand.
I've disconnected the tiller attachment and checked the cable in the 'power head', it spins fine with the motor running.
The above leads me to suspect there's something up with the centrifugal clutch - especially since I'm having a similar problem with my kids' quad bike - ie it starts & runs but apply a load and nothing happens.
Do these clutches fail often and is it difficult to repair/replace them? I don't mind getting my hands dirty...
