Earlier this year we were forced to use the water attachment for our Partner K950, and the saw hasn't been the same since.
We went through two belts while working on the project where we had to use water, and since then, running dry there is a ton of slippage. The clutch seems to be fine, and both pulleys seem to spin freely, but when running the saw, you can hear the RPM's jump to top speed as soon as you hit the throttle, and maybe 10 seconds later the blade matches that speed. Try to cut something and you get the scent of burning belt.
I've adjusted the tension on the belt as much as I can, with no change in performance.
I took the saw apart today, cleaned everything, tried to use some brake cleaner on the pulleys, but both still have a high sheen to them.
Anyone have a good trick to use to clean these things so they have some grab to them?
