I did have a couple of these and both are long gone now.

Stick your helmet, defenders, all your PPE on and then rev the bejesus out of it through some big wood. If that new clutch isn't ragingly hot and smoking and the side cover hasn't burst with bits of clutch hitting it after 10 minutes use then you probably have your solution. If you can't find an original unit then hopefully, the MS200t one you have will do the job. Looks like the same diameter and it has spun on OK so run it without the dust cover and nut that was originally fitted and see what happens.

And video it ?

Thanks spud, I have used it but not heavy and all seemed good. What are the alternatives to the one I’m using apart from having my trousers pulled down buying one from the states. I like to tinker and repair if I can but with limited knowledge, hopefully being on here will help solve that lol. I’ve done YouTube for help but never as good as a chat with someone who knows best. When I’ve done my searches some sites come up with the one I have listing it as 020, are there any alternatives I could use 

thanks

Not sure TBH but if the one you have works, fits and seems OK then that is probably the best option. You could recover the missing friction material on the existing clutch but anything more than you have done is going to cost you more. I sold a real good one for £60 and they are a bit passed their best now and show their age.

Thanks spud

yes they are old now and apparently a nightmare to work on and open up, luckily I don't need to do that yet. I'm always on the look out for a bargain, even something that needs a bit of work will do as long as it's not total trash. A mate of mine has ms200 and is a great little saw, good money as well. I do own an electric makita ground saw which is quite good but no good in the field. What's your go to saw

Depends what I am doing but the 346XP takes some beating. I don't do much cutting, too busy fixing and porting others kit.
