OEM Stihl Screws, Necessary or Not?

On critical applications such as a carb mount or a clamshell engine mount, I say Yes! It’s ok to mock up a screw line I did to test the equipment but get the right hardware before you give it to the customer. You may save yourself a call back!
FYI the Stihl 9022-341-1220 M5 x 0.8 x 48 was $2.49 USD and my dealer got it in one day!

Like you said ken sir good to help you in a pinch , but to get the right hardware for it to hold it secure with those serrated on there .

Great advice mate

[@HobbyMotorDK]

Good call to replace that bolt

[@Big_Johns]

Nice tip Ken, thanks. 👍

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Great job on the bolt replacement and the temp fix

Great advice Ken mate

Definitely so on something like this. That vibration takes a toll on these pretty badly. It will not hold on forever without the oem serrations to keep it from backing out. Thanks for the video!

Exactly!

Good one Ken 👍🏻

When ever I scrap Stihl machinery, I save the fasteners as they cost about 80p each. 10 fasteners, that's £8

The very reason i keep screws and nuts and bolts from stuff I’m scrapping

[@IndRepair]

It sure helps to have a bolt bin and be able to find whatever you need!
