Jred 2186 Brake Flag Bushing

[dougand3]

Fellow brings me this saw to fix in a box of parts. Never worked on one. Missing some parts - one is brake flag bushing. Does it have internal threads? All I have is a smooth ~7mm hole in the crankcase. Or is bushing a self tapper? Thanks.

The bushing doesn't have threads. It merely acts as a spacer.

If the mounting hole in the case is smooth, then the threads that were there are gone. That's normally a 5mm recoil housing screw.

Thanks, Jacob J. He's wallowed out the threads then.
