Stihl twist caps 😡😡😡!!!!!

[gensetsteve]

I am not keen on them. Once you have fitted them wrong the first time they are damaged and then difficult to use after that. My current 260 feels wrong when you turn it but you just have to turn it a bit further.

The only problem I've ever had or seen was solely down to the operator.

 

The screw caps are a pain, being over tightened or threading.

[Hobbsurf]

No problems here. I've been using them years on lots of different pieces of gear.

 

Easy to get wrong admittedly - but once you know how they work........

Maybe the thread in the fuel tank is the issue.

Personally ive never had any issues with the stihl caps on any of my machinery.
