t/y AVB

so if clutch is engine end, is conceivable that the head spinning freely like that when engine is not running, is normal?

I found it on junk, actually, although Ryobis are the most common junk finds due to the sheer preponderence of the LAwn Hornet/Scorpion Weed Wasp and 30cc PLT-style ryobis here, I figure maybe Home Lite is the #2 most common type come across.

the difference is that most ryobis on junk look like they have done their share of work..some still work, some don't, some work with shortcomings...I've noticed that often though, the Homelites are almost new looking, like this one.
I thought if it works, it's a quick few bucks on ebay, but I'm trying to clarify myself even whether to class it as 'working' or "parts/needs repair"..
Carried it home on back of my bike last weekend..
