Guys, there's got to be someone out there who can identify this:
I bought out the inventory of a stihl shop a few years ago. The shop had been around since 1969, and had a ton of old stuff. I worked there as a tech the last few years it was around, and got to look at all the microfiche on saws, and the new stiff at the time, ore m tronic, etc... I am not a know it all on stihls, but I have seen tons of images.
So I got these covers here, they were in a parts box not labeled, but contained a few 08s parts, and some ts 350 parts, as well as some oddball chain saw parts. Hey have 2 slits, like an early dual port cover, or a jungle cover, or muffler cover stihl made for saws for other areas that weren't emissions compliant etc maybe? No screen. There is no stihl stamp on this. It may not even be stihl for that matter, but there were 4, and they were new. These guys didn't buy aftermarket parts, in fact, there probably wasn't even many or any aftermarket parts when these covers were sitting in the box. So, take a look, tell me if you've seen this.
Obviously, it's too big for 024/026. It's too big for 028. I checked it on a 036, 044, 064, 066. It isn't the older stihls, 041/045/056, and not 070 090. I had inky one 038, and had checked it, am desperate there isn't a screw for the top of the cover like I saw on this at one. But, maybe just maybe, it's an 038 dual port? Maybe it's a later 048? Did they only have 2 mounting screws and a curled, hinged lip for retaining the top?
Be curious to know if anyone has ever seen this cover
