[AT] OT McCullogh chain saw parts

[ROBBRUT at aol.com]

Skip the rag, it can sometimes act like a Molotov cocktail's fuse,  as I know 
from experience (observing my buddy).
 
Instead, get the correct size expanding plug, one of those rubber  ones that 
have a bolt through them.
 
It will work just  fine, (also from experience) as long as it is not  
over-tightened too much (which can break the spout)

Thanks  Hank.  I don't have a clue if it is the same or not.  I've been  
looking online trying to find a parts number breakdown.  I can't find  a 
thing.  I don't like the idea of paying $15 bucks or more but the  saw isn't 
worth much without a gas cap and I sure can't buy a saw for  $15.
If and when you get a chance to look I would appreciate it.  If I  find mine 
or a replacement I'll try to remember to let you know.  If  you have one that 
will work I don't mind paying for it and paying the  shipping on it. 
Assuming I don't manage to find mine.  I'm out of cut  up firewood and really 
need to use the saw tomorrow.  I hate to  do  it but I might wind up with a 
rag crammed in the  hole.
