While repairing this saw I noticed that the tank vent was rotted completely off the breather pipe. Looked up the part from Stihl, just a tube with what appears to be two expanded bronze plugs in it, similar to something I saw used on some model of Poulan. Was about to order it when I realized Stihl wants 18$ for a two inch piece of tubing! WTF! They are nuts! Going to look round and see if I can find out which Poulan that setup was used on, or make my own using two set screws and a scrap piece of tube!
