I have a Husky 2100 chainsaw, and when I was in the middle of falling a big fir tree the drive pawl for the clutch broke an arm and before I could get the saw stopped, it had eaten through the chain cover.
I know it can be welded because a friend of mine does it regularly. Unfortunately, he has gone on holiday for six weeks and I have no way to find out what rod he uses.
The reason I am concerned, is that I believe the piece could have magnesium in it and want to be certain to get the proper TIG rod. Does anyone know what rod I should use for this job? I have another saw that I can use, but the saw with its 5 ft bar is an overkill for this job.
Yes, a replacement clutch cover would be the answer, but this is an older saw and this is one of the parts that failed most often. They are not available, and repair is my only option.
