Non genuine clutch

[Dazonit]

My stihl 024 that I have more or less rebuilt / new piston and cylinder fuel pipe and fillter pull cord ect is up and running and just about run in but earlier this week I could not stop the chain runing on at tickover so thought I would have a look at it today on striping the saw I noteced the non genuine clutch That I bought of the net had 2 of the 3 springs missing so it had very little resistance and was constantly engaged even at low tickover i know you get what you pay for but this as seen very little use and I will be contacting the supplier and I'll let you all know how I get on.

I have now put the original stihl clutch back in the saw as any one else had this sort of problem

Hope you didn't rebuild the rest of it with copy parts.

Clutch springs have clearly snapped and been spat out. Could be a badly worn sprocket drum but assume if you have rebuilt it a new sprocket has been fitted. New genuine springs are very cheap so suggest 3 gen springs are fitted

It would not be cost effective to use stihl parts on a 024 of this age

No the sprocket dose not look too bad to me but I'll get a second opinion i did not know you can get just the springs I'll have a look now cheers for the advice

They are low value parts but failure makes a machine near unuseable - needless to say, I keep a decent number on the shelf!

Certainly on a strimmer if there is an excessive lip on the clutch drum, then the clutch shoes travel too far and hence snap the clutch springs. I think clutch springs are about 60p each for most Stihl clutches. Local dealer should have them

Glad I kept the old stihl one now it will give me a bit of time till I call to the local dealers
