Makita 161387-6 Clutch Drum Assembly EK6101

Product Description

The MAKITA 161387-6 is a complete clutch drum assembly designed as a genuine OEM replacement component for the Makita EK6101 cut-off saw. The clutch drum is a core part of the centrifugal clutch system, engaging the cutting blade when engine speed rises above the clutch engagement threshold and disengaging at idle to protect the operator and drivetrain. This type of assembly is typically serviced by small-engine repair technicians and experienced power equipment mechanics during routine drivetrain maintenance or after wear-related failure.

This clutch drum assembly is intended for use with the Makita EK6101 concrete and masonry cut-off saw, a professional-grade gas-powered tool used on construction sites and utility work. The EK6101 is a high-displacement, commercial-duty saw commonly operated by concrete cutters, utility contractors, and general construction crews. Replacement of the clutch drum is a standard repair procedure when the drum shows scoring, heat discoloration, or excessive wear on the engagement surface.
