This is a problem that works against itself. If your clutch spring is weak, you will not be able to get your saw to idle down properly because your engine doesn't have enough torque to keep up with the added friction at such a low speed. But on the flip side of the coin, the actual problem may be that your saw has an air leak or bad impulse signal for example. The air leak/week impulse line would not allow you to idle down the saw far enough to stop the clutch from engaging.
I would recommend that anyone who is having this problem remove their clutch and see if they can get the engine running properly without the clutch. That is an easy way to diagnose which of the two problems they are having.
I had this problem with one of my modified saws. I automatically assumed that the saw would not run because of some of the modifications I did to the saw. It turned out that it just needed a new clutch spring.
Im glad that your saw just needed the idle turned down a bit, just thought I would add this for anyone who is browsing the forum having a similar problem.
