New Oil Cap for Husky 346xp too tight

Hi there,

 

I just bought new oil and fuel caps for my 346xp. They are genuine Husqvarna, the new type for the 550xp but they are meant to fit 346xp as well. I got the large cap for the fuel and the small cap for the oil. The fuel cap fits no problem but the oil cap is too tight to fit.

 

Has anyone else had this problem? Would widening the hole work?

 

Cheers,

 

Alex

Yeah, the thing is though the hole in the oil tank is metal!

The existing cap gets tighter on its own (it's a common problem, either the plastic cap expands somehow, or vibration tightens it) so you need a screw driver to release it. I thought replacing the cap with the flip up handle would be the way to go.... but I can't even fit it!
