On my Husky 372 Rebuild...

[CTwoodnutt]

Hi Group,
I just got my Husky 372xp back from a friend who rebuilt it with a new crankshaft, which snapped right at the clutch, back in August.
I bought a Cryogenically-hardened one from Chainsawr, up in Vermont. (Good price!!!).
Also a clutch, that I just put on today.
Started it up, cut some 18" maple & oak, and everything worked as it should.
(It did take quite a while and many, many pulls to start it, but after it did all was well).
- I probably should buy a new spark plug, even though I wire brushed it...

I did notice a thin plastic arm which sits behind the clutch assembly, which was broken.
It's part number is: 5037561.
I looked it up on a Husqvarna site, on an exploded parts diagram, but it didn't say what it actually was.

1- Does anyone know what it is?
2 - Do I really need it (ya, I'm sure that I do.
3 - And, can I install this little plastic arm WITHOUTOUT DISASSEMBLING THE SAW AGAIN?!!!

I believe that it is for the bar oiler, but I checked as I was cutting today, and I AM getting bar oil to the bar.

All comments will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving to All on this Great site!

That's your (overly engineered) worm gear that drives the bar oiler.

Replacement is generally a non-event.

I can fix it....I'm in farmington and I have more than a few of those.
