Idler screw moving...

[texican65]

Hey guys. My idler screw on my Stihl 041 super rotates all over the place when I'm running the saw. Not sure how it came from the factory, but what keeps the screw from rotating, a little nylock plastic piece...or a spring or something?

Thanks,

Dow

My wife's hot glue gun works to anchor loose idle speed screws.[emoji106]

In a pinch we would cut a piece of rubber to size with tin snips, then punch a hole smaller than the screw, slip it over the screw and voila. Screw still adjustable but won`t move from vibration, old McCullochs were the worst for that.

X2 on the rubber, or a piece of fuel line that the screw will thread into

Man, what a good idea...thanks guys, I'll try that rubber trick.
