husky 357 clutch drum

[big ootsiders]

im having bother with the clutch drum on a saw,when you rev it the clutch drum seems to come in contact with the side casing,the clutch is on properly as is the side casing,if i dont get it sorted it will start cutting a hole in the side casing i would imagine,the drum has slight up and down play on the spline but i would have thought that was meant to be,anyone any ideas ??

replace bearing and drum,remembering to grease needle bearing, maybe?

hi,thanks for the reply,the drum and needle bearing are both new,its a real strange one,i cant figure it out at all

I'd take it apart and start again, it sounds as though everything isn't seated down properly. It could be that a washer at the back is sat on a lip or something

Check that you havent bent the crank shaft when taking the clutch off .

yeah iv tried that aswell,its all where it should be,the drum is sitting in the worm drive for the oil pump fine,needle bearing greased,power mate fine,it really annoying as the saws going great apart from that.

is the clutch drum the same depth as the old one?

[big ootsiders]

Is it the drum itself catching or the nut for the clutch assembly?
