Stihl MS391 Cover Screws

[deminin]

Top cover eh???? The side cover comes as separate part number, and no screws are included. also the screws that hold the cover on are the self tapping variety... So they are not captive, or whatever crap description you want to come up with.

You obviously have never seen a MS391. The three screws that hold the top cover on Are "Captive", and there are steel retainers pressed into the plastic cover, which is supposed to keep them from coming completely out. I went past the dealer today, and ordered 4 new screws...will keep a couple on hand for spares. Stihl has suggested that I install a small toothed washer under them, and even place some Blue Loctite on the threads. If you are talking about a "side" cover, you have obviously not understood what I am talking about. Plus, I have NEVER seen a "self tapping" screw on a Stihl chainsaw....or any other chainsaw, for that matter. You may want to "adjust" your meds.

Oh, BTW...I notice you are a "pewter" Stihl tech...is that one level up from "cardboard".

View attachment 21966View attachment 21967View attachment 21968View attachment 21969View attachment 21970View attachment 21971 I don't know if your saw is the same as mine but here is some pictures that show that mine are captive and don't come out very easy. I posted wrong info earlier about how to remove screws. I got mixed up with another saw of mine, sorry.

So why would you not post a pic or two that actually had any relevance?
