Should be able to see it if it is clean in there (blow it out with compressed air). Or look for it with a flashlight. Or run a toothpick or small screwdriver around the clutch rim until you find it.
The notch in the clutch drum rim just slides over the wire.

See post #59, above. Dry the parts with compressed air and / or WD-40 to prevent rusting.After giving my Ms250 a real good washing, especially on the clutch side I'm wondering if there are any parts I should be lubricating on the saw before I put it back together? If so what sort of lube/oil is recommended?
On another note I used 400 grit sandpaper to remove a bunch of ground in dirt on the orange parts of the saw, as expected when it dries it leaves a white patch on the plastic. I've used carnuba wax (mothers brand) to buff it up, but the results were not what I was hoping for. Others have used turtle wax etc... will this be any better? or is there a specific plastic polish?
Use the dishwasher on parts that you have trouble getting really clean - like real dirty (not dusty) air filters.
hm one thing, i wouldnt use sand paper to clean my saw lol. get a rag and use de-greaser this works much better.
Yup, did the car wash and dishwasher and it turned out great. Should I be lubing any parts up while I have the covers off, should I be removing the clutch cover to look inside. If so what should I look for, my clutch cover is very scratched and sorta rusty looking.
Holy cats... you guys fawn over these things like they are a show car...

You may be doing that sooner than you think anyway.I was thinking about replacing my pistol with my saw next to the night stand for home defense. Also I actually like the smell of gas and 2-stroke exhaust on my clothes after im done for the day. Too bad the ladys dont find it very appealing.
