As Rich says, no it isn't - if the clutch springs were bad, the chain would spin at idle, if the clutch shoes were worn, you would have the problem I described earlier.

 

You have a lack of power from the saw, or possibly the bar nose sprocket is tight. Checking the nose sprocket is very easy - just spin the chain round the bar and make sure it spins round as normal.

 

If the bar is OK then the saw needs a checking over, it may be a very simple problem or something more complicated but the route cause needs finding and resolving.

 

As far as the engine goes, a compression check and checking the piston through taking the muffler off is a very quick and easy check that covers a multitude of sins and after that, the fuel system - pipes, vents and internals need checking!

Don't forget your five a day people. That's 1 cup of two stroke petrol, half a cup of chain oil, a spoonful of chain fileings, a good bowl of connie chip and and some red diesel for good measure.

 

Sorry but the surgery is now closed, our opening times are 9am until 9pm, if it is an emergency please throw the tool around the workshop while hitting with a large hammer and call back during surgery hours, thank you for calling :lol:

Ok so a bit of confession time me thinks. :blushing:

 

I've been porting a 026 for a bit and today I finished and put it all back together. Started it up with the usual butterflies. It started and ran. Just put the bar into some timber.

 

It made contact and stopped with a clatter and bang.

 

Tried pulling over and it would but felt lumpy and chattery.

 

Me thinking poo and all words I can't say went back to the bench and took the pot off expecting to find knackerd rings, broken crank and all manner of horrible things.

 

NOTHING rings good, pot good, crank good.............

 

So pot went back on and pulled over gently, still clattering, as I pulled I happend to look into the flywheel area.

 

Wait for it......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had forgotten to tighten up the flywheel nut. :blushing::blushing:

 

The saw is on the bench as that's where I left it as I'm wet and hungry.

 

A pause for the laughter....
