That's the first thought that came to my mind too!

What size is that screw ? And does it go into the tank from that mount hole?( best arrow I can draw with my stubby challis finger. )

5.5mm o.d. x 17mm long hex head self tapping screw. It screws into the bottom of the fuel tank.

I've never run the 3rd screw on those mounts and I've never run across a saw with the 3rd screw attached, for whatever that's worth.

Thanks guys.

PS wrap hits my NOS top cover pretty bad…mostly spring mounts plus 7th. Two rubber in front IIRC. Hodgepodge saw, tank might be 181

You’ll have to bend it slightly. Some fit perfectly. Others don’t.

I shoved the busted rubber sleeve down there and that seemed to cure it, will see how long it lasts.

Hello There. I'm new to this forum and following it close! Have a 181SE I'm working on. So is your comment the way to remove the governor function off this model of carb?

yep. unscrew brass plug, insert something that blocks hole in the bottom, i use a hollow punch on a beverage can of choice, reinstall brass plug.

thx chris! started as a tank, case and handle that looked like got straight gassed immediately and steipped for parts. the sticker on the handle matches saw serial number so its not a replacement tank. took a while collecting parts. still want a nicer starter and muffler but at least it runs
