Efco MT3700 Tensioner Screw

[roys]

Was round helping a friend last week, as we finished up he said he had an old chainsaw in a few bits in a poly bag, that hadn’t been used for a few years and would I like it. Well of course I would it would be rude not to take it. An Efco MT3700 lurked inside.

Brought it home and stripped out the carb the diaphragms which were crispy so got a generic repair kit and a spark plug, changed them today, Put the main body back together, few squeezes of the primer bulb, 1/2 dozen pulls and it sparks into life. Runs quite well.
Was going to but the bar and chain on and give it a wee sharpen then a proper test, alas it was not to be as the chain tensioner screw is missing.

How generic are these screws, I can find lots of generic tensioner screws on Amazon and eBay for about £6, but when I google the model number and part I only found a couple of places, one in USA and one in Europe that were wanting £25 inc postage to UK, for a wee homeowner saw I don’t think that is worth it. Is it my google skills that are letting me down or will one of the generic screw fit.

Ta folks.

Personally I'd go Amazon or eBay, £4 delivered it's barely even worth worrying about.

 

Just compare the expensive ones picture to what's on eBay.

Yippee totally agree, just didn’t know how generic they were.
