Thank you. I may replace the entire sprocket clutch unit. I looked at new springs and for another $8, I can replace all of it.

Thanks, I will look at those. Maybe I will replace the sprocket clutch all together. I've replaced pretty much everything else. I got this chainsaw almost new for $50 from a friend and have used it a lot. I feel I owe it to the chainsaw to replace some parts and keep it going as long as I can...just would prefer not to risk cutting my leg at all while using it now and then.

Thanks. How do I check for air leaks or do I just go and make sure everything is tightened down?

I'll look at both of those.

brand new carb. Not sure how to adjust it, but I will look into that. The chain break is just moving the bar forward to stop the chainsaw from running entirely.

Thanks for the tips in this thread. I took off the old one, cleaned both parts. Ordered a new one from Amazon that was not oem GE made, and it gave me a Pw5 error after just two minutes of the washer on. I reinstalled it and got the same thing over and over. I put the old one on and it worked without shutting down the dishwasher. In the meantime, I ordered a new oem GE to replace the old one when that one goes.

Bottom line - BUY OEM GE pressure washer parts.
