I’ve been quite busy. Right now, there’s 4 saws ahead of
@72thing hybrid build, but 3 will be done this weekend.
Not taking any more saw till maybe the summer of ‘18, and even that’s a maybe. Got a few experiments to do and some builds that have been put off for way too long. I’m probably going more towards build a saw, sell a saw. Doing anything but a new saw wears one out. No one realizes the extra work involved in cleaning and doing repairs no one seemed to mention before they sent the saw.
As for this thread, and the covers...
The 034 Cover has a deeper front air dam than the 036 cover. So the 034 cover will fit over the 034 AND 034S jugs. The 036 jug has an extended 2nd fin with will interfere with assembly. The 034 air dam can be relieved to fit an 036 Jug. The 036/360 cover will fit right over an 034/S Jug, but the air dam will be small and cooling could be affected.
The newer style 036 cover (just like MS260/new 026) has a lever and not a knob on the rear cover. The older style locks a nylon tab between the 2 extended AF screws. The newer style slides over a “tit” that protrudes from the back of the AF and locks around it.
So you can just push it on the 034 and it won’t lock. It’s will stay just fine though. To make it lock, you’ll have to run the newer style MS360 air filter and just block the compensator hole with a foam ear plug. Easy Peasy.
Stihl makes a plug for the decomp hole when one doesn’t exist.
@Definitive Dave has them.
