Mystery part found

[flh69]

I have an 036 Stihl & was doing some routine maintenance after I had cut some wood. I removed the chain cover and found this little fitting just laying in the sawdust. I have no idea if it is from this saw.
The dia. of the barbed end measure .240,
The thread is M6-1.00,
The hex measures .43,
The overall length is .650.
Anyone have any ideas?

It’s not from your saw so no worries there. Random find.

Does it still run good?

Not OEM from an 036 but could be possible someone installed a fitting from the cylinder base to run a line up to the carb for an impulse line, never know what someone else has done to a saw

Bought the saw new many years ago. Always did my own work on it. Must be from someting else. Saw runs great since I found this "thing" but only ran it a little after the find.

From something else then, not from your 036.

I'm still using my 30 year old 036 from thirty years.
Never seen the likes of that bit.

That mystery part reminds me of a 025 I had taken completely apart to replace the crank bearings.
Got it all back together and it was running great. During cleanup my white plastic parts catch container had a serious looking WHITE plastic part in the bottom of the pan that looked like some of the same color plastic pieces on the saw. I removed the side covers on the saw, looked at IPL's and could not match the part. I posted on this site with pictures of the plastic part. 2 days no replies. I finally reached out to a Stihl expert on this site. His response was that part does not fit that saw anywhere.
My brain kicked in gear thinking back, I had taken a whirlpool washing machine gear box apart few days before and had parts and pieces in that container and had to dispose of the gear box due to plastic parts broken. It was white and the container was white and was in the bottom of the container when I mixed in the Stihl parts.
????????????

Have you been working on any real old saws? Wick style fuel filter.

First off I am not a mechanic but I do work on my own equipment. I cannot remember seeing any fitting that looked like this. Then again with age I have developed "CRS"

It looks like a hose barb from an old saw used at the tank.
