[AT] Wright saw (OT)

[Louis R Godena]

Well, mine ran fine (my father maybe used it 10-12 hours from 1964 to maybe 
1970) after I got it going in '97.  I used it relatively little until a 
couple of years ago when I went to start it and discovered there was no 
resistance when I pulled the cord.   I bought it to the Deere dealer where 
my father bought it and the lawn and garden mechanic there (who wasn't even 
born when this thing was made) said I needed a clutch.   Right, lotsa luck 
finding one.

Anyway, there it sits, looking practically brand new with the black vinyl 
blade sheath on, but nowhere to go.

Any help would be great.
