I have 2 saws with the same issue. 288xp and 281xp. Had to replace clutch cover on both. One had no brake in it, the other the joint was weak and brake keeps engaging while cutting. I bought 2 aftermarket covers. Both seemed to fit fine. But after running and pulling them off to clean, I noticed the hex part of the clutch had cut a groove in both covers. the 288 was a little worse and it has a good bit less run time than the 281. Anyone ever ran into this? Any idea of a fix. Hate for the new covers to keep getting chewed up.
