Stihl 036 Mystery Part - Help Identify

[rking453]

Hey everyone, I tore down a straight-gassed 036 I picked up for a rebuild project last night. When I got done I had this piece on my bench. I guess I was not paying enough attention and missed where it came from. I want to figure it out before I start putting the saw back together. I looked all throughout the parts diagrams and can't find anything like it. I also looked up the half part number with no success. Any help with this mystery part would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like a cover for one of the muffler bolt holes.

That usually is on 261/361/362 muffler screws on the one piece mufflers

You guys were right, I found it in a MS361 diagram.

No wonder I couldn't find it in the 036 drawings.

Guess it must have been in the box it shipped in, leftover from another saw.

Thanks for your help!
