Good evening all, I have been looking over my ms150 and have found that the threads on the top and bottom engine mount bolts have gone. It would have been from about two years ago when the saw had a lot of warranty work done in the dealer.

 

Does anyone know if there is a way of fixing it? the saw still runs great but I wouldn't mind trying to fix it and it would solve the problem with the on/off switch working again.

 

Many thanks.

Had exactly the same on one I had in, I think a couple had broken and it was the top one that was the kill wire earth mount (from memory).

 

I drilled out the broken part and helicoiled and then fitted a conventional threaded bolt rather than a self tapping screw!
