Chainsaw Repair

I've had trouble with the rear spring screws on mine, especially the one that threads into the colored plastic case extension, so I modified it a bit.  I drilled a hole in the rear handle so I could use a cap screw inserted down from above, and a nut and star washer.  I had to cut the cap screw to the right length.  I also added a star washer to the screw that goes into the black plastic handle.  It's worked well.

Yep so far every one has come in loose.  1 was missing bolt and stripped.  I went to a larger thread longer stihl plastic screw in bolt.  So far good.
