Stihl FS410c Clutch issue?

[Ratman]

Yeah as above, sounds more like sticky parts of your drive, clutch / drum etc strip it down, clean up with some emery cloth and the usual lube here and there [emoji106]

Just found a parts diagram, so I'll have to take a look.

Be aware if the clutch is binding on the drum it won't pull apart when you take the four screws out. Try locking the cylinder and then carefully joggling the blade back and fore to free it off prior to dismantling.

So I'd need a piston stop tool that screws in the sparl plug hole? Like this?

You can use some recoil rope but go carefully as some get it stuck in the ports so the piston needs to be close to the top of its stroke! It isn't a difficult job if you know your way around small engines and have a bit of mechanical knowledge.

I was wary of suggesting rope in this case because of the need to to and fro the piston, increasing the risk of a bit of rope working its way into a port. I normally use rope and have never owned a piston stop.

Rope works well if you know what you are doing and what the risks are and what to do if it goes wrong.
