395XP chain moving when I pull to start it

I pull the chord, and the chain moves. It does not idle without the chain moving, and it is difficult for it to continue to idle. It seems to work alright other than that.

Is it a clutch problem?
 
That simple. Okay, so is this an amateur saw mechanic fix, or a pro one?

And that spring/s is supposed to engage when there is inertia on the sprocket, right? It's located right where the chain brake locks on, right?

Thanks, Jomoco.
 
I put a scrench on the clutch nut, and I put a length of pvc pipe over the scrench to add some length for leverage. The clutch nut broke very easily.
 
You almost had me goin BB. I thought for a second you'd snapped your clutch torquing it counterclockwise!

I wonder if there was a stopper or some rope fed in the spark plug hole. Otherwise the snapping sound was from the starter mechanism.

There's no snapping sound, buddy! Those are bears outside your house walking on sticks. :D You're in the Netherlands, right?
