    Just guessing, but maybe part of a mechanical advance for a distributor.

    It's gotta be a clutch damper , vibration damper, or something like that. I've seen them before. I just can't determine where.

    I can tell you EXACTLY what they are.....they are old starter clutch pawls for older Stihl saws (041, 051, 075, 076 series, to name a few).

    Did they work well in their day? I have heard of several machines being discontinued because they never broke down or needed replacement parts...

    Was a friend so just cost of shipping and parts. Was his dad's saw.
    Fixed it and had him make some cuts with it. He was grinning ear to ear and very happy.
    I have worked with the guy 28 years.

    That's cool, cutforfun! Let's say you started working at age 16(an average starting age) + 28 years working with your friend... that puts you at roughly 44 years old, so yeah, not too old, man! J/K!
