Changing Dolmar Sprocket

[Caz]

If I switch out my 3/8 sprocket for a .325 on my 5100, do i need to change the clutch drum also ?

My Jonsered 2186 just got a new 3/8 sprocket (replaced a 325) and I did not change the clutch drum.

I believe the only time you would have to is if the clutch drum was showing signs of wear. You may want to check your needle bearing and give it some grease while you are in there (you probably already knew that!).

You should be good to go.

5100 should have the two piece sprocket on it!

The "complete" drums contain two different rims - but the drum itself is the same.

cpl probably stands for complete. You are likely getting the same clutch drum (and needle bearing) with either part number, with the only difference being the sprocket.
