026 Oil Cap

My circa 1992 026 is leaking oil from the cap. Any recommendations for a replacement. Old screw in type. Dont want flippy caps either.

Dealer usually has them in stock for $6-7

 

OEM Brad. Like Kevin said, reasonable at the Stihl shop. Not a fan of aftermarket caps.

 

Is there an " O " ring on it?
Maybe you can just change it if so?

 

part#0000-359-1210 is the O-ring #

 

BINGO " ,

I would be willing to bet that this might be the fix.
As long as the cap screws on.

 

I didnt check, just noticed oil leak. Tightened but i think i may have stripped it as it tightens then "pops"and gets loose again.

 

Sounds like a new cap might be in order.

 

Yep, cheap enough. I bought 6 each oil & fuel caps as they fit multiple saws.

 

This is interesting. If they make replacement old style caps that fit my flippy cap 260 pro than I may ditch the flippies and go old school. Hate those flippies!

 

You can’t swap from flippy caps to screw caps, or vice versa. But there are replacement flippy caps on eBay that don’t have all the fancy crap inside of them and actually work really well

 

Thanks huskihl , for clarifying that. The oil cap on my saw requires a lot of fiddling around to get it to seal properly. Even a flippy that works ok would be an improvement.

 

These are a great replacement for the flippys
