I just picked this saw up today. Guy I got it from said it kept chewing up clutch drum needle bearings.
He was replacing them by removing the E-clip and tipping the saw until the old one came out, then sliding in a new one.
Anyhow, I pulled the clutch/oil pump cover and found the pump gear stripped, the pump "drive" unscrewed from the pump, and the clutch broken.
I have not been in too many saws and was wondering if this is a case of "it just broke", or is it a result of something else?
I assume I can turn the pump drive back in, replace the gear and be good to go there, or did it cause internal damage?
