OK, now I don't feel like I have problem anymore.

On the tough ones, I pull off the clutch shoes and take a cutoff wheel to an old 1/2" socket to fit the slots between the hub fingers.

thanks steve. I was thinking - cut down so two studs would fit where the spanner don't work. I like yours better; more bite. guess i'll need a deep socket since its an outside drive sprocket and the crank sticks up
any issues with the pig steel used in the cheap ones? recently had a cheap 1/2" to 3/8" adapter snap clean in half

Two 1/4" (ish) holes in clutch?

Chuck two twist drills in vice shank end up. Block piston with 3/8" square poplar from hardware store. Fit drill shanks in clutch and hold clutch, turn saw.

Jerry I've made a couple out of home depot sockets seem to be holding up fine.

Looked at trying Carl's trick but the crank was in the way. So I read the SM and it said to use a drift in the two holes. So I used a drift and a 3# sledge and after about 10 hits it moved. Finally came off. Now I need two more clutch shoes since it only has 4 of the 6 required.
Now I'm trying to take the starter apart and someone replaced the pulley screw with an Allen head. It doesn't want to come out either. The Allen wrench turns inside the head. Gonna try cutting a slot

Home at last......annnnd the basement drains aren't draining. I'm really not sure where they actually drain to yet, but they're below ground level and there isn't a pump, so I assume they drain out into some sort of drain field. The ground is saturated......no where for it go I guess. Blah! Thankfully, so far it hasn't crept into the finished side of the basement.

 

[Scott Kelly]

I feel your pain.. Shop vac and a mop. It sucks but better than running a finished side!

 

[67L36Driver]

Lots of things arn't draining very good around here.

Jerry: I usually give the clutch a few whacks in the axiel direction to relieve pressure on the crank shoulder.

But, I got too energetic on the MS650 and broke the clutch spider. It did come off......[emoji10]

USPS in Opa Locka, FL is sitting on my MS660 muffler. Durn turd heads.[emoji35]

Have to rob parts off the MS440 to test and tune the 460. Parts for which are on that slow boat, literally!

If the system notifies of updates to a thread and you don't check them a time or two, it will stop notifying until you do. I think it's a "feature".

MS660 muffler made it thru KC Ks sort facility![emoji4]

Morning midlanders!

Yet another thunderstorm is approching from the west.[emoji37]

MS650+ runs and the oil pump pumps.
Vibrated out the recoil cover screws I forgot to fully tighten.

Carb on the 440 failed the tank pressure test and filled the crankcase with mix overnight.
Carb kits on the shopping list for Monday for both.

Sad part is, I had a buyer come up from KC and the 440 poops itself.[emoji35]
