When I rebuilt my 041 I went ahead and preemptively changed out the oil pump seals and rubber. However it leaks bar oil like crazy and I believe some is getting into the crank case as it smokes likes crazy until it burns it all off. So I finally through it on the bench to work on and as I got down to the clutch I noticed I have a bunch of play in the sprocket and the clutch. Hmmm. For awhile I had problems with an aftermarket sprocket that I believe was machines too thick so it was hitting the clutch drum and the chain would never stop spinning. I ended up buying a whole new sprocket and clutch assembly as I broke part of the original. Believe I may still be missing a spacer though seeing this.
Hopefully have time to finish tearing down and get the pump out this weekend. I’m not sure why It’s leaking with new seals and rubber on the pump unless the inner o-ring got cut or something.
Really want to get this saw to 100%. It’s a fun saw and it starts quite easily. Yes my 3700 and 372 are way better saws but there’s something cool about this old thing.
