Yes there are 4 metal bushings molded in the case. Can't figure
how the engine moves around when the bolts are tight. For the
bolt pull the engine down into the case and hold it tight.

Thats what I am wondering too. The motor can move up and down.
Bolts can be seen moving out with gap between case and bolt
head.
The only thing I can come up with since I cant tear it down now.
When I first checked the 4 clamshell bolts they were a hair
loose. Just wonder if that little play over years of use had
worn the case to allow this movement.

I really like the MS 250 I had a 025 also but sold it
Motors are not hard to work
That is a extra motor I got from a tree service that ran a MS
250 over with the service truck I've had that motor now three
years and haven't used it
That's why I own two MS 250
I've changed the carbs to WT215 on both and you can feel the
differences

Motor runs cuts great. Have you ever seen a 025 etc plastic
crankcase wear out? Something has to be worn to create that much
play.
[/quote]
No; I only had a 025 for about a year and a half and I didn't
have any problems with that motor and it was a older saw
I couldn't tell any difference between 025 and 250
There for a while I was getting alot of straight gassed MS 250
and I got a few from a tree service that changed over to a
different Stihl saw for there ground crews. I think it's around
25 MS 250 I've had and flipped and only one 025
I flip alot of saws that's how I make my pocket money :)

I had to know. Tore it down with owners ok for look see.
The plastic crankcase has worn to the point the metal inserts
even when bolts tight are allowing the motor to slide up and
down. I think this is what fish was saying?
Are you saying I can take some off of the metal inserts and
still use with worn plastic case?

Owner said he got this 025 in 1991 at M&M's and has cut lots of
firewood. Sharing duties with his later purchased MS390.
Carb had H side too. 8)

I believe that is what Fish was telling you, just make sure that
you do not take so much off the inserts that the bolts will not
tighten up. You might also want to glue the inserts in with JB.

By now the cradle for the clamshell engine has been wallowed out
and the chance of this fix having any longevity is slim.

I have never worked on one of these before but is there some
kind of steel bushing that is in the plastic where the crankcase
bolts go through? Are the bushings there and not missing?

I think Roger may be on to something with the bushings in the
case. Are the bushings moving around in the case? The bolts
could be tight against the bushings but the bushings themselves
may be moving in the plastic case. With age and exposure to UV
some plastics shrink, like old 192Ts where the press fit oil
pump will not stay in position in the case. I don't mean get
tighter around something but shrink away from press fit
hardware.

Yes, I have had to tap out those bushings on an older saw, and
grind a little off of the top.
[/quote]
Yes 4 metal bushings in pic left side of crankcase.
If molded in these are way past staying in.
Appears worn both sides and hole as all 4 metal inserts just
fell out.

Somebody else will have to find out ( as I have no interest in
putting it back together now that owner said no go). He has a
new MS261.
Me I would get another crankcase to be safe. But I see how they
say it can be Rednecked.

Was the 025 even being sold in 91? All I can find is 93. Said
he was at a demo show when he got it from a dealer in Ohio.
