The engine on my ryobi brush cutter runs, but the is no movement on the strimmer head. The flexible drive is in tact. The fault appears to be with the centrifugal clutch. Please can any one help. Ryobi PLT2543Y is the model No.
Regards Snips.

i had the same problem, i got away with cleaning the clutch housing and centrifugal clutch as it collects dust. this worked twice but now needs replacing.theres a web site called Shoulders of Shoreham who sell the parts you will need. replacing the centrifugal clutch looks straightforward but the housing appears more difficult which i cant work out yet how to get it out.hope this helped some.
