What is this thing behind the clutch? It is an O19 Stihl. I was cleaning it and saw this wire like thing that is kind of floating behind the clutch. This wire kind of is hooked on the end and rotates all the way around behind the clutch. I can see no groves from it or from where it might go in a fixed place.
This is the first time I have pulled the clutch weights out. The wire was loose before anything was taken apart.
Also since this saw was new it has leaked oil like sieve when it is stored. I have to drain the oil out everytime I am done with it or my storage box will be filled with it. Any ideas on that. I do not notice it leaking while using it in operation. NO drips below me if cutting the wood that I have ever noticed.
It has been a great saw and is around 10 years old. It has cut lots of cords 14" bar on it.
