About P.K. Jones
Expertise
I can answer most questions about commercial and residential outdoor equipment. I can also help with questions about import atv's, Karts and scooters. I can't help you with generator electrical output however if it's an engine problem, I'm more than happy to help. I'm in the South, so snowblowers and snowmobiles are outside of my area of knowledge. If it's a question about the engine on a snowblower I can help. But I'm just not familiar with the drive systems for snowblowers.

Experience
I own Grand Junction Small Engines and Grandjunctionsmallengines.com, a full service shop and national parts sales site. My shop is an Authorized Repair Center for many brands and we work on equipment from most manufacturers. We are also a dealer and service center for several lines of outdoor sports products such as atv's, utv's and Karts. Personally, I have over 25 years experience working with small engines and outdoor power equipment.

Education/Credentials
I've attended many small engine and power equipment factory schools and seminars. I average 100 plus hours annually in update schools and specialized training schools and am current on all brands my shop is authorized to do warranty and factory service on.

Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.) - weedeater clutch


Expert: P.K. Jones - 6/29/2009

Question
how do i remove and replace the weedeater clutch on a ryobi weedeater? is it very hard to do? i have two that need starter rope replaced and i have to remove the clutches on both of them


Answer
You have to have a way to lock the piston so the crankshaft won't turn.  I use a tool made just for this, but you can use something like a 1/4" ratchet extension in the spark plug hole to jam the piston.  There should be arrows on the clutch to show which way to turn it to remove it.  Let me know if you have any trouble.  Thanks, PK.
