Any one know what this is?

It came in a tool pouch included with a chainsaw I purchased. (Poulan S6000). My guess would be a piston stop maybe, only it’s pretty thick steel plate.

Try looking in an IPL or owners/repair manual for that model.

It it a clutch stop, used on older Jonsreds saws. Hooks under the crankcase and through a slot in the clutch drum /clutch to hold it while you loosen the nut. Very handy tool to have in your toolbox if you have two different length bars and change the sprocket from 8T on the 16" bar to 7T on the 24" bar...

Pretty amazing it's still with the saw.

But the wrong saw apparently! Lol.

Check your inbox for S6000 manuals and the Dolmar 153 manuals, M. Acres site said the S6000 is based on the Dolmar 153. Didn't see any tool that looked like that c shaped piece you posted.
I see Mark figured it out.

Jonsereds 80 ipl shows what looks like it at the bottom of page 3.
Jonsereds 80 operators manual page 8
Same with the 111, maybe others.

Mine came with my first new saw, Jonsereds 621 in 1981.

I really like these threads, really wanted to answer this but had no idea on what it was or even a guess on what it could be used for!
