It would originally of been a 024 or 026 model, can you see any numbers on the side of the cylinder?

The crankcase is pre 2000 as it has the screw in oil and fuel caps, the top cover is off a later 2000 model as it has the hump in the middle, pre 2000 were flat, the chain brake is off a 2008 260C, the recoil cover is off a later 2000 on MS240, earlier ones had just a rectangle stihl badge on them, the clutch / chain side cover is a chinesium aftermarket. Stubby’s “bitsa” quote nails it, the exhaust looks like an aftermarket too, hard to tell cylinder wise as can’t see any markings on it but suspect that is aftermarket too. The serial number will reveal all if someone has access to the database.

Just renewed my van with DialDirect, was £186 last year, £188 this year 👌 private use though not business so will make a difference obviously. Worth a try.
