ummm, maybe a clog in the fuel line or filter
Take the bar/chain off, leave the cover off, start the saw and spray alittle startin fluid around the clutch area, If they're bad you'll notice a change in RPM... (this doesn't always work, do to the clutch blockin the spray)The flywheel side it's almost impossible to check this way... The only other way is to pressure check or do a leak down vacuum check.... But these methods require some special toolin, such as plate blockers for the exhaust and intake/plus a gauge....

Make sure you are subscribed to the thread and checked email notification in your User CP.i didnt see this until just now... i thought i would get an email when i got responses.
i didnt think of clutches... that would make a lot of sense since the chain was on backwards and i was forcing it to cut for a little while. it was probably a ton of load and eventually burnt them out. ill have to mess with it again soon. i will update once i do. since theres a high chance that it wont run well, is there a way i can tell if the clutch is bad by just pulling it off and examining it?
thanks
