husqvarna t540xp oil leak need help

[Gerbutt]

Are you turning the clutch the correct way?

[Timberman675]

Yep clockwise

Cool 👍

Yes screw driver in one of the cut a ways in the clutch swift smack with a hammer, make sure the plug is in so as you have good compression to jar against, the screw you have missing goes into the front av mount, so needs replacing, you cannot remove the base plate without spending a lot of time, removing car and tank etc, once the clutch is off you need to remove the plate behine to expose the oil pump, if the saw has had a new bar make sure it is the correct one and the oil holes line up.

I'm not sure what to do now as I put the rope in the piston barrel and then knocked the clutch clockwise but the rope compressed so not sure what to do as I don't have any rope small anoth to go through spark plug hole.

Do not put bloody rope in the plug hole, refit the plug and jar off against the compression of the saw!

Thanks for the reply adw managed to get the clutch off what does the circle do under the oil feed for the bar?

[adw]

Circle? where are you looking? post a picture, once the clutch is off you should then have the sprocket and bearing, behind here is the oil pump worm gear driven by the back of the sprocket.

the gold circle (was filled with dirt could that of been causing the leak when off)? also anything look bad?

[adw]

The gold circle is the oil tank breather, it is a sintered plug, try just turning the oil pump flow down, it may just be too much oil for a short bar.
