Hello, I have late '80s early '90s Stihl 026 that has recently started over oiling. I'm trying
a couple of things to resolve this issue and may follow up in a future post.
The purpose of this post, however, is to inquire about the "skew" I just noticed after owning
this saw since it was new. Here is a pic from the bottom of the 026;

Notice the bushing in back but not in the front. The front of the case is closed, however, making it look like it was designed like this.
In contrast, here is a pic of the bottom of my mid-90's 036:

So is this normal for an early generation 026?
Thanks, Chris
