I have seen this unit referred to as a "clutch" or a "centrifugal clutch", but it appears to just be a spring shock absorber (like a Dual Mass Flywheel on a car). There is an end stop which it hits when it is turned in either direction. QUESTION 2: Is this a clutch (that disengages the motor belt drive from the impeller and blade, in some way that I can't see) or just a sprung shock absorber? Many thanks. Regards, Mark.
- I've just received this new part. When diagnosing a fault it's easier to understand what's broken when you know what a part is supposed to do in the first place. The term "centrifugal clutch" is misleading to me as I automatically compare it to a car clutch where the engine is connected or disconnected to the gearbox and wheels. That's what a clutch does, disconnects drive. The following is my best guestimate looking at the new part - I believe the mechanism in the splined pulley end acts as a brake when the motor is turned off, to quickly stop the blades from spinning. NEW PART: The central spline and pulley wheel are one combined plastic piece. The pulley has raised edges to confine the belt from falling off, the same as the small motor pulley. Inside the pulley body you can see 2 metal arms which are each hinged at one end (attached to the pulley) and are heavily sprung to push hard inward against the bearing casing (which is part of the entire plastic frame). This makes the pulley hard to turn by hand. I assume when the motor spins up, it initially works hard turning the pulley with the brakes on, once a certain speed is reached the centrifugal force pushed the internal brake arms outwards (against the force of the spring), so they are no longer braking against the bearing housing, allowing full speed and removing the strain from the motor. OLD PART: Has a cast Alu pulley wheel, with a flat edge so nothing to confine the belt from falling off the edges. It has a separate white plastic central spline section that could turn around 90 degrees within the pulley against a spring, I assume internally there was a braking action of a similar type connected to the white plastic spline (which is now stuck on causing the impeller and blade not to turn). When spun up the brake would release, when the motor stopped the spring would push the brake back on and stop the blade turning quickly. Regards, Mark.
3 of the screw heads are rusted, and are going to need drilled out. Does this come with replacements?

This will be supplied without screws. You can either search 'flymo screws' or supply the model number for us to try and identify the correct parts.
Does this part come complete with the clutch assembly and pulley the belt runs on and the plastic thing on the end that the fan fits on to? Thank you 1 Answer
I have a Flymo Turbo compact 330 Vision mower - does this part fit that mower? Also, Does this part come complete with the clutch assembly and pulley the belt runs on and the plastic thing on the end that the fan fits on to or is it just the plastic moulding that the rest fits onto? Thank you
- Part comes complete with belt pulley and shaft that the fan slides on to. Simply remove old and fit new, no other parts required.
I have a Flymo Turbo Vision Compact 380, with the serial number 31400733. Is this drive unit compatible. 1 Answer
The faulty drive unit I have removed from the mower has a broken impeller drive spline. I notice that the drive unit you illustrate, looks slightly different, particularly the spline. There is a number on the part, which may be of help. It is T98/1/1495.

Hi Cactus, I'm afraid I can't match the numbers you have given me in our database - Turbo Vision Compact is only the range rather than the specific mower! Is it possible to check for the model number? For help, use our guide: http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/lawnmowers/a/10/63/finding-your-lawnmower-model-number.html

Hi Mrdee, not all the parts we have listed on the site are made by the suppliers of the original appliance, however these are clearly marked 'universal' parts. This drive assembly however is a genuine Flymo part.
