Washer-Circular 10 17501439131

This clutch washer, also known as a circular washer, is authentic manufacturer replacement part which is positioned on the crankshaft between the clutch drum and the engine. It is a circular metal ring with an outer diameter of 1 inch. The clutch engages with the clutch drum and sprocket to allow the chain to rotate when the engine accelerates. Over time, the clutch washer can wear out or become damaged due to normal aging, inadequate lubrication, or exposure to excessive heat. If the clutch washer is faulty, the chain will not engage or rotate properly, resulting in a loss of cutting power and poor engine performance. To access the clutch washer first remove the chain cover and bar, and then loosen and remove the clutch assembly. Carefully remove the old clutch washer and position the new one in its place. Ensure that it is properly aligned before reassembling the clutch assembly, chain, and bar.
