Kit-Clutch Washer
-
Product Description
This is a washer kit for a chainsaw. This kit includes the retaining washer, C-ring, and the washer that is located between the clutch and clutch drum assembly. The outer washer acts like a shoulder to keep the chain on the sprocket as well as helps secure the clutch drum to the saw. Due to its consistent contact with the chain, the outer washer is known to deteriorate over time. If the chain is regularly run with minimal tension, this will actually speed up the deterioration and cause the chain to move from side-to-side. The retainer C-clip should be replaced any time it has been removed. For this repair you will need to remove the side cover, the chain, and the bar.

on the crank shaft. If it is not damaged or showing signs of wear, leave it. If you suspect it, for causing the problem, replace it. The steel drive gear usually flattens the plastic gear on the pump. Now, take the new pump and look at the back side and make sure the pump barrel is all the way in the plastic sleeve and the cutout is in the metal barrel is in line with the pin. Flip it back over and rout the hoes back in the grove making sure the opening of the hose lines up with the grove in the saw body. Now it is a simple reverse order to install the parts you removed earlier. the bearing in the clutch should have a drop, just a small drop of grease rubbed into the bearing before installation. Too much grease will get on the clutch when it's running and that will not be good. After putting the beveled washer, use extreme caution installing the (E) clip, almost never easy, even for pro's.
I would like to point out that the plastic gear that drives the pump shaft is in a very hot place. This being a homeowner type of saw, it's not made to take a lot of abuse. If your leaning on this saw and over heating the clutch getting it stuck in the wood, that little gear has no way to keep it's cool in there. Keep your chain sharp and let the saw do the cutting and that gear will last for years. Thanks for you putting up with my instructions, I'm not a writer, but I see this problem a lot and those pumps are getting hard to find. Good luck with your repair.
