Ms261 problems

[Ross Smith]

Evening

Strange one

My ms261 keeps cutting out

I stripped it down including the clutch

Masses of dirt under clutch drum plate

Gave it a good clean and went to re assemble but can't seem to get the clutch drum back on properly

The re alignment line that then sits down is not interested

Such a simple thing to do on the older models

Any ideas

Many thanks

Ok. Is the line or notch in the drum lining up with the oil pump drive gear arm? Should be able to see it? Its behind the clutch. Can run a piece of stiff wire around the clutch and it should push the arm round so you can line them up?

Problems could be down to the clutch drum bearing being clapped ? Don't want to start a war but it has been touched on !

Can't see the drive fear arm

Will gave a look in ze morn

But how would that explain the cutting out when the chain brake is applied

It wouldn't but it would explain why the drum not going on.

 

The cutting out could be many things. Like carb issue.

 

The impulse line do have a tendency to go on these.

 

Is the carb adjusted to factory, and does it make a difference if adjusted. Also what is the plug colour?
