    I've been told for years, that I have a screw loose.

    I have no useful, first-hand suggestion, but loctite should work.

    The blue (serviceable) Loctite will do just fine, I use it when needed.

    I had an 056 Stihl that would vibrate the starter screws all the way out in 15 minutes. It was a pretty wore out saw! The rubber antivibe mounts were toast.
