MS362 head scratcher

[GardenKit]

I dont suppose its as simple as the throttle rod being worn? The 362 throttle link travels through an open topped plastic guide which it should 'clip, into. But it wears thin and and then pops out of the guide when throttled and loses its movement, Result, no revs.

Put it back in and it may pop straight out again.

Just a thought, and easy to check.

We've had that on a 362 but the symptoms described say it died after the throttle was opened then released.

 

BTW Barrie do you manage to slot the throttle rod in without dismantling the air filter and choke rod assembly?.

We have success! after another good few hours today I narrowed it down by exchanging parts from another saw unitl it ran! turns out is was the flywheel, it looks like the magnitized part may have suffered a small impact to the coil when the bearing failed, it obviously has done something to it as the keyway and timing is fine, anyway thanks all for your tips, its what arbtalk is all about.

When I read the title of this thread I think he must have a really itchy head to use a MS362 as a head scratcher

I had the same on a 066 a few years back, would never think a flywheel could go 'wrong'

A sharp blow with a hammer can demagnetize a flywheel , magnets are a complex beast ..

What is the best chainsaw on the market at the moment? Stihl?

One of our 346's wouldn't rev a few weeks back , turned out to be a duff spark plug (Ngk) it would tick over no problem but wouldn't rev . Just a thought !
