Got the oiler straightened out on the little Echo 452VL last night. The clutch drum has a SD7 spline on it and is currently wearing a 3/8-7 spur sprocket. I have a .325-9 sprocket but was wondering if there was a .325-8 sprocket in standard seven spline size. I don't think I've ever seen one....

I like .325 chain on smaller saws and for smaller material I feel it is less grabby which is good working with limbs and such.

Looking at the IPL,the washer keeps the clutch bearing from coming out.
the shaft going thru the oil pump should have a shoulder on it to keep the washer from the plastic.

Thanks for your thoughts on that. Not much shoulder there but guess doesn't take much. Clutch doesn't get super tightened.
