--really . I'll have to investigate .On the Stihl's and Macs I just thumped in the drywall screw and popped them right out .If I get time after work I'll spin the clutch off and have a look see .

Removing clutches on these should not be very hard.
They usually are not very stubborn...

I'm going to fire the old bird up again ,maybe tommorow .I think the problem was that the oil pump housing was just a little loose thus alowing a little leak after it warmed up .I replaced the slotted head screws with socket heads and put the tights to them . The seal looked fine .
It definately has the power when it is running good ,pulled a 36 buried with no problem at all .
While on the subject,how in the world do you adjust the oiler,or do you ?

That damned big old saw just about whipped the tar out of this old farm boy .That thing should have been built with a comp release .Cranking over 100 cc's , without one ,you gotta be chitten me:what:
The thing evidently has residue of the old fuel hose in the tank ,plugs the screen in the carb with little black goo that looks like powdered charcoal . I must have had the carb off half a dozen times .I'm going to give it a power douce with the pressure washer I think .
The big Swede has plenty of power when it runs though .I think it's going to be just fine if I don't loose my cool before I get it right .At the moment I'm a little pissed so I'll just punish it in the shed for a day or so untill I regain my composure .

Damn, your description of how the saw runs is making me want another one 
Is that the bar I sent you with the saw?

Not the way it runs now,not worth a hoot but it will . Yep,same bar,I dressed the rails with a beltsander and laid the file to the skip chain which by the way is Stihl .

Some time ago somebody made comment that on a few Husky saws you could change the bearings by using a special bearing puller . Until I saw this praticular model I would have sworn they were pulling my leg . I do believe a person can .
Live and learn .I went all my life and never turned a wrench on a Husqvarna then in the last 4-5 months about a half dozen of them all of the sudden .

update
I only pouted for two days and got back on it .Sometimes I pout for a year or two .
Pressure washed the fuel tank and the black chit just ran out ,changed fuel line and filter and cleaned out the carb for ten zillioneth time .
Success The old duffer runs like young pup .Lot's of compression so the rings /cylinder are A-OK . Too early to tell how it actually does ,about like a good running 066 it seems but a tad more heavy .Oils a darned set better than an 066 for sure .
I'll run it a while when cutting season gets here to check it out further .If I decide to soup it up I'll make a thread at a later date ,most likely late in the fall after it cools off .

I miss my 2100
Got stolen off a job in Liverpool years ago.
I would say it probably has a touch more torque than a 66 Al, at least in my experience.
You want to swap it for a 181?

Actually last month I had both a 181 and a 281 sitting on the bench .Pretty impressive saws but they can't hold a candle to this thing when it comes to grunt .Thanks but I'll pass .You want to swap it for a 181?

81 series are probably closer to 066 type. Like you say, the 2100 has grunt...
