Neighbor brought his 391 over a few days ago. Said it wouldn't start and couldn't get one of the 3 screws loose on the top cover. It fired right up so it was flooded like I figured. Now the stuck fastner is a whole different story. Stripped the top but it has a slot for a flat bit. Nothing doing there either. Rigged up an extension for my impact today. No go again. Just twisted it. Any thoughts on removing without snapping it?
It looks like the same type of fastener as the pro saws have. You push down and turn to the left to unclip. If that doesn’t happen the fastener in the the cover must be broken. I might try to pry out and if that doesn’t work take a drill to it.
If one is not familiar with those screws i can see how they can easily strip them. First time i took the cover off my 261 i was kinda surprised how they worked.
