They suck !!!!!!
???? They work whether they are in open air, under water, under oil, under gas, full of chips or covered in chips.
It doesn't matter if the tank is full or not or overfilled they work.
The fact that this is being discussed is disturbing. Its akin to saying you can't figure out how to put the choke on or that the choke is too complicated, because its not a wire with a push and pull arrow on it, Holly cow people.
It is a "flipping cap" for god's sake, LOL, admitting on a public forum that you can't consistently "figure it out", does nothing to promote your family line or genetic history.
There is the safety police and then those that will make things more complicated even if its just for conversation, Why?
Stands in amazement,

Mercy, imagine the IQ's or common sense in an applicational sense of those that wouldn't or don't have a problem with them.
I must have hired smarter people, still never had a problem, heck my little boy when he was 7 and little girl when she was 6, was filling the oil and gas tanks up and capping them. I've got regular genuis's on my hands now.
Life is looking good, as I thought they were just common in the smarts department, but thanks to a simple Flip Cap, I know that the sky is the limit smartwise with them.
Thank you, Stihl,
Sam
Please take him a Stihl saw with the flip caps and see if he can correctly and consistently operate one.
This is something that needs further research.
Correct operation of the flip cap might be a sign of intelligence on a whole new level, possibly a more operational level or something.
Can we get a government grant for this?

Just ruined a brand new pair of jeans yesterday filling the oil tank on my 460 for my brother to borrow the saw. What a mess.....
Funny thing is, I never heard one complaint about the old style caps in the field or on this forum. I have heard several complaints about the newer flippy caps. that in itself tells me there is an issue with the new caps.
Sorry but that tells me nothing. The old caps were the same basic threaded style cap used by everybody since ???? Nothing unique or different about them to complain about. Now along come these new fangled "different" style caps. It's human nature to resist change, doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong with them they're just not familiar.
Just consider how people first reacted to computers.

OK, I'll phrase it a little differently. I never had to wear oil soaked pants due to the older caps not being properly screwed on by either myself or my help. Never had a computer dump oil on my pants leg either. It would be easy to blame it on the help and say that they are dumb asses but kind of hard to do that when I have been guilty of not properly screwing one on myself. If that means I'm a dumb ass or genetically inferior then so be it. I do pretty good with what I have to work with.
I too hated these caps at first. Why it's the oil cap only is beyond me.
I took these pics of a gas cap just now, so I wouldn't get oil all over my fingers.
One day after getting pissed off about it. I thought...OK let's check this out, something is wrong here and it ain't crap in the threads or over filling.
Here it is guys...
The cap should look like this when you put it back in.
When it is giving you trouble, look at it and you will see it will look like this.
One counterclockwise turn holding the top and bottom will snap it back together and it will go right in.
Now my help and I know what to look for and never have a problem with them.
When you do get it to go on right, it's because without knowing it, it popped back down in place.
Hold the cap with both hands and turn it and you'll see what it's doing and what I'm talking about.

For the love of god.
It appears to that time of the month when somebody starts an ****** thread about threaded vs. flip caps. Yes, the small oil caps can be a little trouble if you overfill the tank. BFD. Pull on the stupid thing before you assume it's tight. Hike up your skirt and stop crying. There's no crying in timber falling. If you're gonna piss and moan about it this much, buy a husky.
I'd insert the dead horse animation, but what I'd really prefer is a smiley bashing itself in the head with a 2x4 in order to capture my true feelings. :bang::bang:
