I recently had to use it for the first time in a year and couldn"t get it started. I"ve done the routine maintenance stuff, but my problem now lies with the clutch cover. I made the mistake of removing it with the brake engaged. Now to put it back on, I need help figuring out how to deactivate the brake so it"ll slip back over the clutch. Thanks much, Craig [Reply]   [No Email]

The oil in old gas dissolves & no longer lubricates the engine & ruins it & will not start. For the chainbrake, the screwdriver trick of 55deere70 works for me. [Reply]  [No Email]

I somehow got it off with the brake engaged and now, of course, I don't know how to release the stainless loop so it'll slip over the clutch assembly. I see where the star wheel engages with the brake handle when it's assembled, but it's apart. Craig [Reply]  [No Email]

Or you can use a screwdriver or something to manually turn the star wheel back to release the brake. [Reply]  [No Email]
