Ms 362c help PLEASE

[Terry362]

Evening all. I use my 362 for firewood and some planking / milling. The other day all was fine but it wouldn’t switch off. Had to pull the spark plug in a bit of a panic!! Now I realise that I could have shorted the magneto but didn’t at the time. Looked into it a bit and think that the choke rod came out and just disappeared into a pile of sawdust somewhere. Seemed like a straight forward enough fix so ordered a new one but can’t for the life of me figure out how to fit it correctly from the switch to the valve spring. I know I could take it in to be fixed but it seemed like too simple a job to not do yourself. Can anyone send me a pic of a (working) 362 please so I can get back out and stock up for winter. Any help greatly appreciated and all piss taking completely understood.

Not the exact same model, but should give you some clues.

Try this pic of a ms362c M tron ...best definition i could get.

There are a few variants of this part (dependant on serial number) - try to ensure you refit the correct one. It’s a crap design that fails regularly unfortunately.

Better one.....

That make a lot more sense now. Got this replacement online...

Your first looks like the non Mtron saw...second is the right one for the Mtron

The offset bend in it means it will actually move the valve spring. Will order two or three of them now and see how I get on. Thanks for all the help, looked everywhere on the internet but sometimes you need to ask the right people. And I think a little bit of my masculinity would have died if I’d taken it to the shop and explained all this, god bless the anonymity of the internet

Spoke too soon
