Gents,

 

I need a little help, ive pulled my 281 apart to replace the tank to carb fuel hose and to do this i have removed the tank/rear handle assembly. Im wanting to know if im missing av mounts for the front holes in this assembly? It looks like they should be there, but when i took it apart there were just a couple of bolts sticking into the space where i was expecting to find a rubber bush/mount. The ipl isnt great at showing this detail so would appreciate any guidance before i put it back together.

 

Cheers, Tom.

No the later 281xp had a large spring av across the front, you can fit the rubbers back in the front if you are running a long bar, but be aware you will increse the vibration levels, especially if you run a short bar

Thanks adw, actually i was asking the question because it seems to vibrate quite a lot more than my 181 (188 now) so i wondered if i was missing something. It could just be that its running a bit rough and therefore not as smooth as the other saw.

If you look at the face of your av mounts you can see they have a yellow dot on them, this denotes they are the hard av mounts, there is a soft rubber to give lower vibration if you want to lower it.

Its a good job I did not see this post last night Dave, as I would have had to ban you forever from my FB page for attempting to cheat.

 

But you got it right anyway:thumbup1:

Not cheating as such, just a bit of help

Minor repair to my MS250 as I managed to destroy the chain catcher which is plastic (yuk) & also part of the side panel - about £18 to replace with genuine.

 

So if you have this saw or a 210/230 & manage to do the same, dont buy a new side panel buy part number 1123 656 7700 which is a plug in one on the body of the saw, you have to remove a small black plastic cap from one of the rubber mounts first but its a 5 minute job & minimal cost.
