Help please! Can someone tell me what this broken part of my chainsaw this is?

Hiya

 

Some help required please! I have a Kiam electric chainsaw 2200w not sure of the model as its down my father in laws. I was using it the other day when the chain stopped moving although the motor still goes. Took it apart and it seems as though a spring/coil type thing is broken. Anyone know what this is and where I might get one? Tried Kiam but no reply...

 

Thanks!

Clutch ?

Ahh I feel like a bit of an idiot, it's the clutch spring isn't it... Anyone know anything about replacing these?

If you cant get one try an engineering suppliers and ask for tool making springs that are used to make press tools.

Usual method with cheap Chinese saws like the Kiam Sherwood CSE22 you have there is to bin it & buy another one as there is no spares backup for them.

But don't buy another one of the same! Pay cheap pay twice; fact of life, not snobbery.

Thought as much! Many thanks for the replies!
