Just picked it up. W/O the bar it starts and idles fine, though the clutch cover was on so I don't know if the sprocket was turning. One clutch spring was missing and I thought that might be the cause. Picked up an aftermarket spring.The brake system needs an overhaul but that's not your problem. Most likely would be worn clutch springs. What's the history on the saw?
Just ordered new clutch springs and a brake spring.You need to get 3 matching clutch springs
I cleaned it and chain turns while running.Is your clutch drum clean? There can be a surprising amount of "cake" built up in there. That might make the chain turn while pulling the recoil, but shouldn't turn the chain while the saw is running.
Hmmmm. What is it supposed to look like? Maybe I can clean it up?That boogered up looking cover washer might be a problem too.
No. I noticed it was missing. Need to get a c clip.Did you take the c clip off the stud that holds the chainbrake assembly, or is it missing.?
Wouldn't cause your problem, but I wanted to make sure you had it.

If ur referring to theOff chance the oil pump driver is seized on the crankshaft? That will turn the clutch drum.
no. It turns freely.Off chance the oil pump driver is seized on the crankshaft? That will turn the clutch drum.
good tip,I can't see for sure but it looks like there may be grooves worn into the clutch in the holes where the springs ride. If there are grooves worn into the holes where the end of the springs ride, that's not good.
Decreased spring pressure=increased low speed clutch engagement. Mike
