Hm, not had much luck with glue, but have done a bit of plastic welding that yielded good results.
where is it cracked, pics would help.

I’ll have to double check but if I remember correctly the complete clutch cover is like $60 dollars.
$47 I just got one
JB weld on the inside. Super glue, outside.
or, plastic weld.
Soldering Iron!
Not the assembly right, just the cover?
Correct. Not with the brake handle
FWIW--I last fall had two anti-vibe mounts in my favourite firewood saw come apart, a Sachs-Dolmar 111. Being out in the Cariboo of central BC I glued them together with Gorilla glue, the original formula that you put glue on one surface and moisture on the other and clamp them together. Be darned if it didn't work, at least for sawing enough bug-kill pine to get me through a month of -40 weather in a leaky old cabin. I can report that the stuff works.
The mounts did eventually come apart again and have since been replaced with new ones, but I'm amazed at how long they held. That glue, properly used, will hold some amazing stuff together.
The failure was rubber to rubber; the glue held them together and I could feel the increased stiffness in the mounts. Not permanent by any means, but who knows how long a fix might last in a place where the stress of anti-vibe mounts isn't. At least-- cheap to try.

As stated; soldering iron with flat tip on inside and outside along crack, and then drill some small parallel holes on either side of the crack and secure the repair with small zip-ties (if you have clearance for the zipties on the inside where you have the crack).
