Got the small husky cap to fit down in mag case husky 346 351 353 oil tank. But still not fitting right. Need to file between the cap threads to get better fit.
For those guys that have to have the oil cap as flippy too. IMO not worth the juice since husky makes a nicer oil cap then the 2 prongs I hate.
small and big work on 501 echo with no modding.

Just to show the husky small flip cap can be made to work on the magnesium cased 346 353 351.
Same small cap I use on 2511 with no mods and oil cap 501 no mods.
Grind that area down on cap and grind the threads down to clear them too.
Then file between threads also to gasket.
Fill to top to put extra pressure on it putting in cap.

Referencing top handle saws, my Stihl MS192T seems to have a torn boot between the carb and saw ("intake manifold"). Flexing of the handle seems to be the issue is my guess. Curious if anyone knows if Stihl modified the boot to tolerate the flexing?
