First and foremost, thanks to everyone that's posted, I'm getting better at tinkering. All the info posted has gotten me this far and I'm not stoppin' anytime soon, so thanks for the inspiration. I've got an older(half metal) 026Pro, with the adj. oiler, and have hopefully gotten to the point of getting it back together...long story short: cracked intake boot, leaking flywheel side seal, leaking decomp. valve(tried cleaning it, not gonna drill it, just replaced it) all fixed by me. Couple of questions I've got;
1)I don't think I had one when I took my clutch off, but my manual and parts list aren't very clear on if the cover washer(1121 162 1001) is on every model, but I assume I need it because otherwise the clutch would be in direct contact with the worm gear and I'd imagine that'd tear it up quickly. So do I need it?
2) How do I tell when a needle bearing is toast? I just cleaned mine, because it didn't look too worn and they roll!
3)Should I loctite every screw that goes into the body of the saw? Also, all I've got is the stick & seal(solvent resistant) and the manual lists different types with different number designations. Is this important?
Thank you all, a billion times over!
