You guessed it, i get the moron of the day award. I was just cleaning up the ole' MS660 and checking everything over to make sure shes good for spring when I decided I might as well pull the clutch off and clean all the gunk behind there since I got the saw used and it's probably never been cleaned under there. So I pull the plug and put the piston stop in and slowly turn the clutch until the piston bottoms on the piston stop, umph the wrench a little (not like holy crap umph but a nice stiff umph), and feel something break loose, it made me shudder immediately because I knew it didnt have the feeling of threads breaking loose. I thought "Oh no!" and pulled the piston stop and saw a nice dent with a couple thin cracks leading to it in the top of the piston. Needless to say, there were plenty of swear words involved but I knew at that point in time there was no undoing it. So I immediately started the teardown and got a new piston on order. I just want to kick myself in the a@$ so bad. I know I am an absolute idiot but please tell me someone else has done this to make me feel a little better. At least now I have a good excuse to check out every single thing on the saw but I wish it wouldnt have happened this way. :bang: Have mercy on the picking fun at me because I already know I am an idiot doing this.
