Stihl MS290 oil plug

[Jetwrench]

Just got this 290 back together and found out the oil plug by the muffler is missing. I looked in my parts book and can’t seem to find it. Wanted to see if anyone here had a part number or a reliable fix before I go to the dealer. I found a picture of the plug installed in the case. It’s the orange plug in the pic below. Thanks in advance

I have same saw, same problem, but mine had a hairline crack at the top end of the hole. I did the repair with an M6 x 1.00 x 8 mm long threaded Set Screw, because the grub screws recommended it the service manual were not available anywhere around me. I coated the threads with the green locktite made for parts that are not to be removable. Because of the crack, I put a piece of thin copper wire into the bar oiling hole, set the screw in until it hit the wire, then back off a bit on the screw. I let it dry over night, it dried up & sealed the crack as well as the screw threads & bar-oiler works fine now, with no sign of leaks there.

Also, Harley was right, your going to want to keep that manual he sent you, it is invaluable.

Awesome!! I really appreciate it. I’ll print it out and put in my manuals book. I’ll also see if I can get the screws from my dealer. This saw will end up being sold and I want it done as correct as possible so the new owner won’t have any issues. Thanks again!

Ya I just put an 029 super back together and thought maybe it was the oiler elbow same issue. And I have an ms310 somebody just threw a screw into any advice on how this works so I understand the fix I'm doing would be awesome. Also how do I post to ask a question on this site??? Like specifically this question. Do I have to be a paying member???
