Any advice for making those flippy caps easier to use especially the one on the chain oil supply. I know there is a little pointer to line up but I seem to have trouble finding it when I have not used the saw for awhile.

Something with gold or a diamond or sometimes,a half dozen roses from kroger or wally world will usually do it too. ScottYou need to buy it dinner first..........
Maybe a movie......
I had some issues with the flip caps in the past, especially on the MS 211.
The only thing that ever worked for me was to go to a Husqvarna dealer.:hmm3grin2orange:
Don't fill the tank too much and the cap will work much better. (unless you require over-adequate leg lubrication.)
Or a boot for that matter!
Yep....I thought all of this flippy cap trouble was .....well....that was until I lubed my boot with bar oil!
Yep....old topic.....but stihl current!
The oil cap flippy on my MS250 always gives me grief but the gas cap goes on like butter .The main thing to remember is that the flippy cap swivels..!!
Not like a screw-in cap..(one part)..It's a two part cap that swivels in the middle.
Sometimes removing a cap can rotate the cap...resulting in 'strange' next closure.
One must always check after closure...to confirm the cap is sealed..!!
It's not complicated...just raise lever and try to pull out..!!
If it pulls out..you must swivel the cap's two halves..!! Re-insert and check again..!!

As for the guys talking about the best way to put em in...... I found that putting them in and twisting them counter clockwise until they drop a 1/4 inch or so then clockwise till they stop. Works every time.
did anyone see this on the stihl site?? looks like it doesn't apply to saws but i have to believe that the caps are very similar. Recall
