Stihl 020av insulator plate?

[jwm3786]

Hello all, new here. I’m working to refurb my dad’s 020av. Reading it apart and I came across a gasket like material near the tank where I believe the throttle adjustment screw (?) goes? Anyway, it’s part number 30 on the attached diagram. I can’t find it anywhere, so I guess im asking, what’s it for? Do I need it? Thanks all!

#30 looks like some type of shield thats held in place by a small screw, the gasket likely was under that plate to reduce the chance of rattle or loosening of the plate.

Plug wire shield maybe

Plug wire shield maybe

after looking at a fuel tank it could be a plug wire, fuel or impulse hose holder/shield

Stihl calls it an, insulator plate, pn.#1114 353 2200, Wonder does it mount inside the rear engine cover or outside and what is it insulating. I have had my 020 apart for carb rebuild and several others but can`t recall removing that part.

It’s riveted in with the rivet in the diagram. It was like a gasket material that was flaking off. After a search of the part number I can’t find anything. Not sure what it is insulating though…

Even worse, a part that is riveted in place, it almost makes me want to pull my 020 apart to see this piece but then again the 020 is a pain in the putiti to work on so that keeps me away from dismantling that critter.

It looks like, and I think it's the retaining bracket to hold the spark plug wire away from the muffler. At least that's what it did on the 2- 020av saws I just overhauled.

Did you need to replace this? And if so, do you know where I can find it?

This was like a gasket like material, I didn’t want to remove it, but it was just kind of hanging. Stupid me, figured it was a gasket that I could just replace. Boy was I wrong!

Let me look at mine again and I'll check to see how hard it would be to make one.. It's only a piece of light metal curved, with a hole in it for the screw to go through to secure the bracket. Don't think it'd be much of a job. I'll be in touch or post here
