Sorry that is not correct, that is a large spline rim.

Odd! got it from the 357 xp Husky parts IPL

Yes, it does appear in all the ipls, I told them numerous times but gave up in the end, the best place to find the rim is in one of the 254xp ipls.

Missed this little thread....the 357 is very prone to spinning the clutch off when you rev it and snap the throttle closed just after the clutch has been off. This has the effect of the clutch partially loosening and then doing up again out of mesh with the pinion. 

The way around it is to rev the saw up and snap on the chain break a few times or just rev the saw up and cut hard in to a big lump of wood both without letting off the throttle. This locks the clutch on.

Bloody hell Steve don’t re open the clutch coming off on the over run thread again, I’ve only just got over it from the last time.

Mmm, I know what you mean, apparently I am talking bollox and it can't happen...what do I know having had a fair number apart and owning a ported pop up piston 357 which rips your arm off....with the decomp valve pushed in on starting!!

It never happens 🙄🙄🙄
