Stihl 261 Exhaust Bolts

[tractormatt]

I bought a stihl 261 chainsaw and i noticed that it looks quite damp around the area where the mufler bolts onto the cylinder it looks like the bolts need to be tightened up but i cannot see how to get at them. I thought i had a workshop manual for it but i cannot seem to find it. It has not done a lot of work as it has only had about 4 or 5 tanks of fuel through it. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Matt

Hi, on the front of the exhaust there is 2 spring clips. Prise these out with a screw driver while making sure you dont loose them. Behind these are the bolts that hold the exhaust. Then simply put the spring clips back in place.

 

Hope that helps.
