I got an MS391, had it from new 12 years ago, medium-light use felling and bucking firewood. Its eaten a couple of exhaust cowls over the years, but the last one I fitted seems to not want to stay with the saw. I put the two screws that hold the cowl on, into their threads with thread locker, but it seems every 3-4 hours of run, they come loose and I have to re-tighten them. The cowl has a kinda heatsink plate between it and the cylinder, dunno if that is relevant, don't think there was one when I took the very first cowl off. The threadlock goo just isn't doing it any more, and I've tried several types. I'm thinking of using extended screws so they project beyond the cowl, then I can wire then, but that seems a bit over the top....anyone seen this kind of problem before and managed to fix it?
Thanks
Jim
