You need to get the Stihl oversize stud for that model.

Ah brilliant, I've ordered the right one!
I've gotta ask, everyone talks about Harley T on here. How come you know so much about saws?

Poor career choices.....
Actually I only comment on fixing the saws back to the way they were designed, I leave mod and porting questions to others. I just fixed them back to the way they were meant to run.
Yes by the time you are done with this saw you will have one that is "like new" (and cost more) LOL

I will indeed. It won't cost anywhere near as much as a new saw, I'll have learned how to repair many elements on the saw, and how they should work properly also. Well worth doing in my eyes.
A $10 Harbor Freight (or eBay/Amazon) tap would be much better.
Mike it is plastic. The idea Harley has is the best as the screw thread is made for that.

Yes, I have to make my monthly Porshe payments too.
Oh, got it. Guess it's not the great German engineering it's hyped to be.

The early models had cast iron crankcases,
but for some reason, they didn't sell too well.
Keep a heads up during your first testing after the repairs and make sure the chain oiler is working good.
Guess that's why they changed to magnesium before going cheap with plastic.
Different models / different price points. The 'clamshell' style engines are self contained and do not need the metal housing that the 'Pro' saws do. They hold up well if treated right.

I love drilling holes in the magnesium, and putting a match to the drillings.
Pretty light show!!

Castiron housings? A problem with the weight. Plus when driving past a scrap yard all the iron saws go to the large magnet they use, lol I just had to do it. It’s time I woke up. Too much sleep. No wonder why they went to magnesium and plastic.
But the Stihl guys are smart having a fix for that, must of happened often.

I know it's one of the cheapest in Stihl's lineup, but I have definitely noticed some areas in which they've cut to save money. It's interesting that this is arguably the best saw brand on the planet, I'd hate to see what the worst is like

Be careful lighting up magnesium you can’t put it out. I tried once with a droplet on fire on the cement floor. I had many Richard Pryor s going in different directions. Lucky it was in the weld booth.

I’m not getting into a pizzing contest who’s the best it’s which brand can take and put up with most of the abuse. I see some really beat up saws. In Husqvarna and Stihl.

I didn't say you had to get into a pissing contest. I'm stating that stihl doesn't seem to have the quality I'd have expected
