A coworker brought me his saw cause it wouldn't start. Dumped the old gas and in a couple minutes had it going. I noticed two things; it seemed lean on top, and the chain didn't want to stop at idle. I pulled the clutch cover and found the bearing and retainer missing from the drum. Removed it and the clutch had a broken shoe. Removed that and found that a piece had broken off one of the clutch guides and gotten under the large washer. Here's some pics of the parts and the case damage.
