2101xp oil cap help

[Vintage Engine Repairs]

Hi guys, I'm chasing the little orange vent that goes inside this 2101xp oil cap. Not having much luck finding it, nor the tank cap as a whole if that's the only other option? Does anyone live in Australia that has one and is willing to sell? Cheers!

Hey guys, I gave up - no shops had anything and I couldn't justify trying different caps that may not fit.

Thought of a different option - I drilled the primary hole to 3.5mm, blocked off the 4 tiny drillings by gently heating a screw driver and melting plastic over them and then lubed up a stihl ms180 oil tank vent and gently slipped it in.

I don't see why it won't work? I'll give it a go and report back!

With parts getting harder and harder to find for some saws, sometimes you just have to get creative!
