Stihl flippy cap replacements

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

I'll share this with you all here. Gregg at Left Coast Supplies has been working on having the stihl flippy cap replacements made for some time now. These will be sold here in the US at LCS.

Will be for individual sell, not having to buy whole crankcases for a set like those others.

Coming real soon FS, here is one I received.

Hope this helps you all flippy cap haters out.

Looks good to me. I've had a lot of problems with the flippy caps not working correctly, maybe this will help..

" Coming real soon " can't come soon enough . I'm sick of pulling a saw up the tree to find an empty gas tank because somebody can't figure out the fuel cap. I'm in for a dozen.

I like!! Will they make the oil cap as well?

Oh ya I'm in especially if they make the oil cap. My wife and the 250 ..... I'm getting good at cleaning it after....

Great find!

Kind of funny that the fix to POS flippy caps is another company and not Steal.

I'm in... A saw doesn't have to leak oil all over the place...

 

[A10egress]

Yep, seen a lot of spilled fuel and oil at work thanks to those "flipping" caps!

My only issue with the OEM caps is that they start to weep fuel mix sooner than later. I keep a couple spares 'cause every month or two I smell fuel in the tool shed in the morning and it will always be a saw with a bad cap. In use, I never have a problem, though.

A problem I've found with the flippy caps is when I bought some AM replacements that wouldn't work. They fit in the hole but wouldn't fold down like they're supposed to do so I ended up throwing some of them away. They didn't cost much and I did manage to get about half of them to work. So if you buy any of the Chinese knock offs be sure to buy more than you need, still cheaper than OEM.

Which means that some of us should stick to polishing saws instead of running them. Just saying'...

Grandog Gregg has his finger on the pulse doimg little things here and there to make products work better and cost less. Would be kinda cool to buy him a beer and hear about some of his ideas, far from your average parts guy thats for sure.

Mine is the bar oil, so it looks like the Valdez tipped over in my pump house

Im not too up on the goin rate for parts , and since prices seem to be all over the board its hard to say whats what.

What do you pay for the caps ?
