Stihl 1118 850 4200 test flange update?

[csmitty]

So has anyone gotten one of these test flanges lately? They call out this PN in the MS260 repair manual for sealing the intake which makes sense. However in the manual it shows that it should plug the inpulse line hose, which makes sense. However when I ordered that PN this what I got.

Nothing to plug the impulse line with. Bag and part both list the right PN so was wondering if anyone else has noticed this too or is there now supposed to be a separate part to plug the impulse line? I mean, I just used my finger to plug it and then pumped it up and it worked fine but just found it odd. My other one for bigger saws would work if one of the arms didn't hit part of the plastic.

Probably to just simplify life.

There is a mistake. The test flange from you (1118 850 4200) is not used for the MS 260. The flange for the MS 260 has part number 1128 850 4200 and looks like this. (see the file attached)

Here's whats in the 026 manual. Thought I had the MS260 pdf but it should be the same.

I have the 1128 850 4200 as well and tried it. It would work except the plastic housing around the carb gets in the way of the other "wing" so to speak.
