Chainsaw Repair

But cant see what , have replaced clutch today but still same problem ?

Did you replace the clutch bearing as well? It may not work properly.

Also, look closely at the picture above, there are 4 tabs on the clutch bell that must be engaged with the four slots in the pump drive worm if they are not then things can also lock up.

You never did say if the original clutch was a two or three shoe type. The 3 shoe is standard on the 262XP, the 261 used the 2 shoe type. IIRC the 262 used two different clutch setups one for the pressed on the crank oil pump drive and a different one for the worm wheel style. If you mix any of the parts up you will have the problem you are describing.

If you try to use a 2 shoe on a 3 shoe setup I think you will also have problems.

We might be of more help if you could post a couple of pictures.

You may have missed the point about the full time oiler with the pressed on worm gear and the oiler that only works when the chain is turning that has a gear driven by the clutch bell? The clutch bells/drums are different on these. Which type do you have?

That is a part time oiler that only works when the chain is running as the worm is powered by the clutch hub
