I pull the clutch lever and it wont disengage. Before i ave done some work on it, pull out the front sprocket cover and took out the push rod (chain sprocket change), put back the cover in place than the problem starts I try adjusting it from lever adjustment to the bolt of the sprocket cover push rod mechanisme... ! I need somoeone to explain me how could i get everything back to normal? thank u

the big handle in front of the handle you hold while cutting is the clutch emergency lever
pulling it back engages the chain
pushing it forward stops the chain
that is not the way it works it needs repair or adjustment

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you

Clutch

If the chainsaw chain does not engage the clutch assembly might be worn out. The clutch is similar to an automotive clutch. The chain sprocket is attached to the clutch drum and there are clutch pads underneath. As the pads wear out the clutch assembly no longer engages with the motor and the chain does not engage either.

Clutch Band kit

Chainsaws are equipped with a clutch band, a steel band that wraps around the clutch drum and is activated by the emergency stop lever. If the lever does not disengage the chain does not engage. Check to be sure the stop lever is disengaged. Adjust the clutch band if necessary.

Drum Brake

Chainsaws are equipped with a clutch band drum brake, a steel band that wraps around the clutch drum and is activated by the emergency stop lever. If the lever does not disengage the chain does not engage. Check to be sure the stop lever is disengaged. If necessary, adjust the clutch band drum brake.

I think you are calling the lever you want by the wrong name. shift lever is on the outside of primary and there is no need to remove the covers. there is a bolt on shifter-remove it and slide lever of but mark position for installation. Fran [mechanic] if you are talking about rod on trans that goes thru both cases then you will need a puller for the clutch hub assembly. Fran

It`s possible that your clutch cable broke.Yes follow the cable down to the motor and remove that cover.The cable will be attached to push rod lever.When you remove the cover you will see the front sprocket and clutch push rod make sure the rod stay in place.Hope this helps you out.

clutch pushrod should just pull out as it should be a 2 piece clutch pushrod model, earlier models were 1 piece and you had to remove clutch cover and pressure plate to remove. hopefully the seal is ok.

You are probably refering to the clutch push rod. When the clutch lever is pulled in it moves the clutch arm on the outside of the caseing. This actuates the clutch push lever to push the rod into the center case. The internal end of the rod actually pushes the clutch apart to disengage the gears from the crankshaft. Without the rod there would be no clutch action.

When you put the sprocket cover back on, you've not engaged the clutch push rod correctly in the clutch slave cylinder. As the cover was tightened down it's pushed the slave cylinder piston too far back.
Remove the slave cylinder only (3 x 8mm head bolts) and check it operates properly, then ensure the push rod is correctly seated in the depression in the centre of the slave cylinder plate when you bolt it back up. FJ1200's have the same clutch and I had the same problem with my FJ...

the cover that you took off to do the front sproket is where the clutch push rod gets pushed by the slave cylinder take cover off thats the only thing that could go wrong
