bolts

[dervishcarving]

Hi all

whilst trying to avoid the predictable 'should have got a stihl/echo' I need some advice on my saw. I have a 372XP which regularly spits bolts out. not from the engine or anywhere essential, just the bolts that hold teh engine cover in place and, more recently, the bolts that hold the pull-start assembly to the main body. Does anyone know what bolts i need to get to replace them? Im guessing M9 bolts? but no idea what length.

I tried asking husky main-website but they were bloody useless

Give Pete or bob a shout up at huntly or Richard at Banchory sue they would help you out

M9 is very uncommon and far too large for the bolts you describe. More likely to be M5.

M5 sounds about right

Yup they are m5x20mm long.

Smear a tadge of gasket sealer or Loctite/superglue on the threads to stop them undoing.

M5 semi permanent loctite thread lock

and yes, m5, m9 would be huge!
