Stihl ms 362 help

[Ben.purkiss-mcendoo]

I have been having some issues with my 362. It starts fine but after some use it starts to cut out when it idles. More often it starts fine again but sometimes it takes a few pulls. Although it will eventually cut out again.

The other issue I can identify is that the chain oil doesn't drain when in use. I have removed the bar and run it and the oil comes out of the hole yet for some reason it never drains the the tank when the bar is on and I use it. 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Clean out the oil hole in the bar ( if you haven't already ) and the bar groove with the proper tool . Does it cut out at idle ? or when in the wood ? If its the former just up the idle a tad .

Is this the M-Tronic version ?

 

If it is, apply choke and chain brake start the saw and leave it running (brake on) for around 30 seconds, don't touch the throttle, then take off the brake, squeeze the trigger (to full throttle) and hold it running flat out for another 30 seconds (you will hear the saw change note a couple of times), when the engine speed drops noticeably, release the throttle and wait for the engine speed to get back to a normal idle.

Switch off the saw and it's done.

 

This causes the 'electonics' to reset.

It will most likely be one of two things, the most likely is that the clutch drum needle bearing is this that worn, the end of the oiler arm has been worn off.

If this is correct, you will need a new oiler arm, needle bearing and probably a new drum.

If this isn't the case, you will need to fit a new carb solenoid....preferably the upgrade kit that includes the fuel filter.
