Everyone talks about the brands being equal but when I went from husky to Stihl you used to still have to take your frigging clutch off to change your sprocket on a husky and just mess with a little clip to do it on a Stihl.
Nothing like changing the sprocket on a bagged out husky trying to smack the longhandled bar wrench with your bar on the compression stroke, good times.
I never looked back.
Good luck with your repair John.
How'd you pull your clutch? Some people I know will stuff starter cord down the piston hole to jam the piston, others a dummy plug. I've always heard that just using the compression is the safest for the piston?
