Husqvarna 359 Why is there a steel pin protruding out of the gas tank?

There is a steel pin sticking out near the upper left side anti vibe mount on the Husqvarna 359 chainsaw fuel tank. What is its purpose?

Guessin its a movement limiter. Probably a corresponding spot on crankcase, a circle that surrounds that pin and keeps fuel tank/crankcase from too much movement.

This, also known as the "Frankfort.". People from there don't move either.

Haha and why would you want to!

I tried the standard rubber slide on limiter that fits this tank & it is loosey goosey on that steel pin. The steel coil antivibe near that steel pin doesn't allow the tank to really come close to the crankcase at that spot. No corresponding circle on the crankcase. Then again maybe the steel pin does nothing.............

Ipl for this saw does not show any rubber bit that slides on. Looks like theres a small bumper that fits on lower on the crankcase, that would bump up against the round area that can be seen to the left of the fuel cap in ur pic. Pic of crankcase in the area near that pin?

Here is a picture of the inside left crankcase of the Husqvarna 359

wondering the same for my 350... the rear handle feels really loose and I noticed my pin is gone, along with the bushing. Any updates?
