I have a 576xp and the clutch and worm gear for oiler are locked together. Can you help me with this?
 
Okay, so it seems like your clutch might be cooked and stuck to the worm gear. Try taking it off with a piston stop and a clutch tool. If it's really stuck, try a little heat and some penetrating oil to help get it loose.

When I said stuck together I met the worm gear and clutch turn together. I have have it all apart
They come apart just fine. The saw runs fine. It is like the clutch screws down to far and punches the worm gear
 
Alright, so I’m thinking the clutch might be hitting bottom and messing with that worm gear. It could be a good idea to take a peek and see if there’s a shim or washer missing that’s supposed to keep everything spaced out just right. Fingers crossed I nailed it this time
