ms250 questions

I've been going through a 250 and was wondering if these are original bearings? Just curious, they're getting replaced anyways. This is a low hour saw, but thinking someone has been here before me.

Here is another interesting item. I'm pretty sure this isn't the standard impulse line setup. The piece on the right fell onto the counter as I separated the handle from the case. I can't imagine it was like this, but there are pieces of the connector in both lines.

Original bearings non original impulse.better bearings are easily found.those have the plastic cages.sime members like then but if it can be helped I usually toss them.

the piece on the right looks like the gas tank vent. If it is just a tube with a small bolt then it is the vent.

hooking up the impulse line is a small pain on this saw or at least mine was. So maybe that is why they extended it.

I was kind of thinking the same thing.

If you are used to Husqvarna and Dolmar chainsaws, some of these Stihl's seem to be very difficult to work on until you have done a few.
