My well used 361 had the oil pump lever /"spring" break. I replaced it. It broke again. I wonder if slop from wear and tear is the issue. The clutch drum has a good amount of play, with a new clutch drum bearing.
Probably the years of work on the drum, but not visibly worn. Will the inside of the clutch drum and outside of the bearing spindle wear enough to cause a problem?
I haven't had a new saw in a while. I don't know what is a reasonable amount of play, and how much is excess.
Thoughts??
Also, I just put the clutch back in my 361. My 460 broke a clutch spring. I wanted to try to swap clutches, but both were so tight that I broke the piston stop more than once. I tried rope in the cylinder to jam it, but it didn't budge. Righty- loosey, lefty- tighty.
