any chainsaw mechanics?

I have a husky 372 that runs fine but i am getting a dinging sound from around the clutch drum.Even with the saw off when i spin the clutch drum it dings.I checked the clutch springs and they are good.The drum does pivot a little on the needle bearing.any ideas?

The dinging sound and the chain trying to rotate at idle are signs of worn clutch springs. Even if the springs look good they could be getting week.

Thanks james that what i was thinking but here is the issue.The chain doesnt rotate at idle and if i take the bar and cover off and manually turn the clutch drum with the saw off it still dings.I wouldnt think the clutch springs would even be involved when i turn it by hand

Check the clutch break. I have seen the break do funny things when out of adjustment. Good luck.

Clutch break?not sure what you are telling me to check

i think the drum is worn slightly out of round and as you spin it , it touchs the clutch making the ding sound.

Is the clutch cover the same as the clutch drum?

I have worked on several.What happens is the clutch is not spinning fast enough to engage the clutch drum, but just fast enough to hit it lightly. That strike is what you are hearing. I would recomend replacing the clutch and drum.. Its just like a truck you should always replace the pressure plate when replacing the clutch... Your saw has the same principle.

Check all moving parts as suggested,many saws should be greased including center of clutch and bar tip.Just replaced springs on one of mine cost was six dollars.

Clutch Brake

It's the handle you push forward on the saw to keep the chain from spinning. Usually right on top in front of the engine.

Oh ok i call that the chain brake.going to replace needle bearing and clutch cover/drum.this makes since the clutch dings with saw off and turning manually

Well replaced clutch drum and needle bearing and it still rings like a bike bell when you rotate the chain by hand???

__________________

had this problem are you sure the chain is in drive spocket and not beside the spocket it will still turn but not smooth and makes a noise !

Is this an older saw?Most saws do this as they age and wear with use.Usually the clutch and or cover are to blame.There should not be any play in it when moved. That is where the noise is coming from you hear.Are you over or under tightening the chain and is the chain on the clutch cover properly?
Otherwise it is smething you may have to live with.

Brand new clutch drum and bearing.It does it without the chain,all i have to do it rotate the drum by hand and i hear it.Someone said check the oil pump but the only thing moving when i turn it by hand is the clutch drum,the cltch isnt turning.it is an 07 saw

it was a worn oil pump drive,the clutch drum was skipping over it
