Mostly done with the 350. Chain brake doesn't work. Needs a brake band and the plastic cover got heated up. Looks like the rear locator pin broke off the clutch cover. It's still held on place by the plastic. Would it leave enough play for the drum to ride on the upper part if the band? Any other ideas on this?

Band is easy enough to replace.

New plastic or trim to fit?

New cover or JB Weld?

That's funny, ours like to lay on papers and the little one likes to sit on the shelves of the end tables.

One end attaches to the plastic part by the spring the other end sits in the slot.

I'm not seeing a problem unless where cover is chiped it allows to much flex in the band?

Ours get it once in a while but this stuff tonight must have been some strong stuff. The cats found it as soon as my wife sat the bags down on the floor. The big fellow ran over and ripped up one of here shopping bags while pulling the fully sealed and wrapped up stuffed mice, The little cat just watched til the big guy got them out of the bag, then they both ripped the cellophane wrappers off the mice. Little cat got a red one, big guy got a green one. Then they just batted and threw them around and rubbed them all over their head and ears....LOL

Where my finger is pointing there is a metal stud that helps locate the back side of the clutch cover. It's broken, but the plastic as shown below it helps keep it somewhat in place.

The upper side of the brake band was riding against the clutch drum and snapped from being weakened, it's hard to see but the plastic above it's burnt pretty good as well. I trimmed it a little but still wonder if I should keep it.

One of two things moved, the drum doesn't really have any play and the cover is broken so I'm assuming that the cover tilted just a little because of the broken locator pin. Will have to pull by hand after tightening it and see if I feel it dragging.

The plastic is a dust cover and keeps the spring and band in place

So that lil spot where it's melted prolly won't hurt nothing
