With all this talk of adjustments made after installation of a different muffler type, how is it that I've never seen it stated that the idle adjustment is supposed to be made with the chain brake disengaged? Some of us ain't got good sense, and such guidance is required!
Idle was way out of whack from messing with it a few weeks ago, so I cranked the adjustment in an effort to get the chain to move. Got it to move at about 4000 RPMs. Forgot the brake was engaged.
The two cover pieces missing here are removed because they're partially melted.
Should I be able to pull that clutch drum off by hand or does it require a tool?
What kind of damage can I expect to find behind it?
