Default Any String Trimmers w/o Centrifugal Clutches?

Thanks Steve.
BTW to the other poster, I *did* know it was a safety issue. And now
to another issue. How do I adjust the carb on my 3-yr old lawnmower?
(It surges.) Where do I look for the cap that conceals the adjustment
screw, or is there even one? (Its a Briggs.) Oh how I long for the
dangerous, too-much-emission years.

I liked my old Homelite because I could run it at lower speed without
the ear-shattering noise, and it would cut just fine with .95 line in
most cases. (It was a single line trimmer.)
Or can I defeat the centrifugal clutch on my new Homelite?
Thanks.
Frank


simple to do. Take it apart and remove the springs from the clutch and
re-assemble.
