My brother was given an 036, owner told him it just raced when it was started, and he didn't want to mess with it.
We pulled the side case off, and the clip and washer to hold the drive sprocket was missing, in place was a large hex nut, held in place by the side cover. We were shocked the side cover was not worn through. The motor racing was no more then throttle routing for the wire. 15 bucks, and it's running like a champ.
 
I claim the Mo-Ron trophy here. Put new PTO to deck belt on. Got the belt OUTSIDE the shroud keeper pins. Chewed belt up in 30 seconds. That's one sick feeling seeing smoke and rubber flying out.

This saw utilized the high tension wire for both spark and a shut off feature. The off/run switch had stopped working so a stick shoved in under the shroud pushed the bare copper wire to ground out on the cylinder shut the saw down.
