Wow! Metal Shavings! 250es.

Hey guys, just about the change the sprag clutch in my 250es and I noticed that when I took the clutch pads out of the housing in the centrifugal clutch that there is a ridiculous amount of metal shavings lodged into the hole where the springs link into the pad on each pad. It is clumped up in there and I cannot find where it has come from. Is this normal pad wear shavings or do I have a problem somewhere?

Sounds like maybe something was assembled wrong? Even a missing or put in the wrong place washer can cause rubbing. There shouldn't be allot of metal and it seems like you have allot, Got a pic??

Has it been apart before?

If you clean it all up and then inspect the parts, I'll bet you'll find where it's coming from.....

Yeah its been apart before. Nah no pics, just cleaned it up and put it back per the manual. The new sprag clutch I put in is shot too. Im going to have to pull it down again! Bummer!
