With a brake!
thats broken unfortunately. Is there any significance to it? I know lots of these older saws had them in Canada at least.With a brake!
I pulled off the clutch cover last night and realized that I just misunderstood the inner workings. It turns out that the chain brake works just fine!I've never seen a functioning brake on those models, but as I understand it the brake consisted of a mechanical "plunger" that pressed against the clutch drum, as well as a switch that killed the ignition.
I don't have any good photos but if you look at the saw with the covers off you can see how the mechanical brake was intended to work.
