Where does this O-Ring go on my saw?

    Well, after cleaning up my Jonsered 2255, to install the new Oregon clutch drum and rim, I looked down on the floor and spotted this O-Ring! I can't see how it went on before or after the needle bearing, or clutch drum, or clutch.
    I posted two pictures one of the O-ring laying on the welding table, and one where I have installed it on the brake lever assembly. It fits perfectly there but since I did not knowingly remove it, I am not entirely sure. Does anyone know for sure?

    Partstree.com should have an exploded view.

    Yep, that's a pretty good site. Funny though, it didn't show that in any of the diagrams. But I studied what I could see, and looked at the saw again and I am pretty certain that it has to go where I put it in the picture, because there is no where it could have come off of the clutch cover itself. I will need to pay attention to that if I have to pull the clutch cover in the woods, which I have before.

    Are you sure it came from the saw and was not dropped from something else and you just now noticed it?

    Any Jonsered service centres close by you could enquire with?

    No, that's the problem with owing a Husky or Jonsered in this part of the country. I am sure there are some independents that work on them and I need to find a good one to fall back on if needed. I am told there is one about 30 miles from me, but it's out of way pretty bad for me and I hate the drive, and traffic to get there. But will probably end up there one of these days.

    Well, I am pretty sure as the floor was swept up, not long before, but it's not impossible.

    I was hoping someone else with a Jonsered CS2255 would know or be able to look under their clutch cover, as I believe it goes where I have it in the picture, showing the O-ring inserted at the end of the Chain Brake lever. There is a groove there that seems to hold it. And I figured I scraped it out of there when try to clean up the saw a little.
