Dave's fourth batch of pictures. (You can only include 10 pics in a single post.)

While the hair dryer was doing its job i turned my attention to the clutch and oil pump for the bar and chain. Seeing the bar and chain have all ready been removed next to go is the inner side plate only one screw. Then remove the e-clip on the rim sprocket. Remove the washer,rim sprocket and slid of clutch drum





Take out three screws in the cover around the clutch and remove.



Theres a small needle bearing on the shaft. This can be removed remember to lub it up on a regular basis.


To remove the clutch you need to get a small piece of nylon rope. Get the piston at the bottom of its stroke and feed in the rope through the spark plug hole. Get a socket to fit the clutch nut and turn it clock wise (left hand thread)Spin the clutch to remove it from the shaft.





Remove the large washer that is under the clutch. Then the spring and worm drive for the bar oil pump.






And it even starts, A bit of work to do to get it to idle properly. Hope this help some people. If anyone wants any more info just ask....
