ms 200t clutch

[travis]

just found one of the clutch springs broken.

Do i have to remove the drive sprocket to fit the new spring?

thanks

Don't think so. When you take the side cover off they are visible, right? If so just pop the old ones off and replace them. Best to replace them all at once, when ones gone, the others probably aren't far off

They come in packs of three anyway or nick one from an old saw if you can.

[travis]

thats tiresome, so how much should i have paid for the pack of three?

[sloth]

Cheap as chips, an old one will get u out of a pickle

[Rupe]

CAnt remember. I have an old saw now so not needed any for while.

[travis]

these plates are in the way of the springs.

funny enough thats just what happened with the 200t today with us on a job.... but yeah simple enough to fix though.

[travis]

how do i get these leaf springs off though?

You need to spin the clutch off by stopping the piston with a piston stop then, with a socket turn the clutch clockwise, it's best to give it a jerk to get it loose, then spin the clutch off and you will be able the reach the springs, no real need to replace the undamaged springs, oh and did you notice the saw running on with a broken spring?
