i like the old 029/039 caps the orange one with the lobe it makes it easy to hand tighten
You are tightening it too tight if the center is breaking out.
Just keep the gasket clean and just snug it.Finger tight only and don't use the scrench for tightening. I see guys do that and they wonder why they keep breaking caps.
Stihl had specific directions for tightening the screw on caps. They had loosened on many saws and the saws caught fire. Still I only finger tighten mine and use a scrench to loosen it. The cap gaskets last a few years and then need replacement. Such is life.

No, it's Stihl

too bad you can't sell parts to out of state customers........
Fresh clean oats cost the most. If you are willing to oats that have been through the horse then you can always find them cheaper.
