Guys.... that's the point of this thread.... go to post #1....

I don't think they make a 200 cap yet, not that I have found anyway

Wong idea guys, I want away from flippy's...

Hate to say it but I gotta.

The flippys on the new Huskys are great. It's the 1/4 turn detent on the Stihls that is problematic, not the cap design itself. If Stihl or an aftermarket vendor overcame that issue, flippys would be 100% good in my book.

If I could sell those in Europe, I would become a rich man after all....

The first time I overfilled the oil, put the flippy cap on and it felt like it locked in, but as I grabbed the saw the cap blew out and covered my pants/boot in oil. Yeah, that's about the time I started the hate. The flip part is fine. It's the quarter-turn locking BS that needs fixing.

Fairly big difference between Ski's and Stihls flippy's.

I also am in the near sub artic of north of 50 so most times so it's not just saw dust it's also ice that jams up the Stihl flippys, add in all the kibbles that get stuck in the sealing area causing more oil to leak, sticking more kibbles
