Hi Guys i took the side cover off my ms180 to give it a clean and noticed that part of the inner casing above the sprocket was very loose and would not stay in place very well do you think the body of my saw is kaput or can it be saved

cheers Mark (chainsaw carving /mobile sawmilling alaskan mill)

That part is the dust cover that covers the brake spring mechanism, ive seen them come loose on many of this model of saw. Normally i cut the 2 plastic pins off on the back and drill two 4.5mm holes through where you've cut the plastic pins off and use 2 stihl 4mm self tappers to hold it in place, these screw into the holes where the plastic pins did go.

I was reassembling an MS211 the other day that I'd taken apart a while back, so had the service manual to hand to help me remember where things went. By chance I noticed the section in the manual covering the same procedure that Ray has advised on above. The only slight difference is that the manual says drill out the rear hole (on the left in the above pic) to 4.5mm and the front hole to 5.5mm. Fit a D 5x16 screw into the front hole and a P 4x16 screw into the rear one. If the pegs have snapped off in the casing, just push them through into the casing, no need to try to extract them.

 

Just to add, this is the procedure for the MS171, 181 and 211, might be not exactly the same on the 180.
