My pole saw separated the other day, I've put it back together but there is no drive if you extend the pole, can anybody tell me what may be wrong?

Yes

Go on then?

Did it come apart just in front of the trigger?A chap I was working with just a month ago had a brand new stihl 131 come apart there on its first use, luckily he had the sense to stand still while his mate pushed it all together and it worked okay until the next time. Now I think he has relieved the clamp with a hacksaw so it tightens more securely.

No, it came apart in the centre, I've taken it apart at the engine end, there is a plastic gromit that had popped out, which I put back and it works until you try extending it, as soon as you extend it, it disengages from the engine, the two shafts will also come apart if you extend all the way now.
