There's a set of aftermarket rubbers on eBay. Come from America though I think Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

Strange... The springs don't look stretched but the shoes are sitting pretty far apart Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

Went to mod the muffler on my Ms200 today...... The head sheared off one of the exhaust bolts. Doh!!! Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

Lol, true. Burnt my hands on it often enough Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

Most probably oil on the muffler. Did you smell it? Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

If you can get a second hand Stihl 361 then personally I'd go for that. Mines did 5 years of hard graft in the wood before it got an air leak. It cut everything from small to very large trees and it's light too Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

Why don't you just buy a normal spout for your combi? Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

Shame it's a husky and not a stihl but it does the job Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

Hey, that's not cheeky at all lol. I'm sorry though, I don't know of any work. The guys I dub out to have been cutting in the woods for over 30 years. I've been doing it for 6 now. It's a split in our squad. Some guys have husky bit others have stihl. I've always went for stihl and if I were you I'd go for the 362 or 441. 441 is probably too big if you're not cutting bigger stuff all the time. I found that my 361 was good because it copes with the bigger stuff, and is a great weight and balance for smaller stuff. The boys that use husky all have 372s but I wouldn't go near them with a barge pole. Can't stand the way they feel when snedding. They are good for felling though. It's all up to you, find some guys that have both n see what you think. Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

I'm quite friendly with one of the menders at the dealers and he said to start it from cold and leave it for 90 seconds without touching the throttle and then give it five cuts under load. I've tried that a few times and it hasn't made any difference. I reckon it could be a carb problem because when it is idling after I start it up it smokes a hell of a lot. It's bugging me big time just now. Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

The saws going back to the dealers. It cuts out about 15 times a day. Usually about 5-10 seconds after I put it down to stack the 3m or whatever. It seems to bog down Mich easier than it should too. I'm hoping they do something about it because apart from that it's a brilliant saw Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

Might as well give it a shot. Nothing to lose really. Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

I'm self employed so buy my own but if someone was buying for me to use then it would be nice to get asked my preference Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

Yes it will increase the speed but I never notice much difference. I sometimes put an 8 tooth on mines if I'm cutting softwood but like I said there isn't much difference. Not that I notice anyways Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

Sorry, I was meaning the bar nut. Once everything was off I screwed the stud in as far as I could then tightened the bar nut onto that as tight as a ducks arse. The nut should come off no bother and the stud should stay in. Should! Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
-
Aye I used the loctite to put them back into the oil tank but it would have been the oil that stopped the loctite from working properly. Mines weren't totally stripped so I took the side casing and bar n chain off and tightened the stud right up with the nut. A bit risky I know but it worked Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
-
It started doing that on my 361 so I tried Loctite. It only worked for a few weeks tho. Ended up breaking chain tensioners when I was using it because the studs were pushing the bar off square Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

Going to rebuild a 440 soon out of all my spare bits. Is it worthwhile putting new piston rings and a carb kit in while I'm at it? It's just for a backup or to put a bigger bar on for felling so it'll hardly ever get used. Cheers Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

Pretty happy with the 362c so far. Been thinning big pine and hornbeam lately and it's been fine. It has been cutting out while idling just after I've revved it. Sometimes it cuts out between putting the face cut in and the back cut. Maybe spud will know what's wrong Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

None of my stihls ever use much oil. My 361 only ever used half a tank at most per fill and this 362 uses about 3/4. I'm going to rebuild my 440 tonight with all the spare bits I have and do a muffler mod on it. Hopefully it works out ok. Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

You canny fix stupid Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app

Thanks for getting back to me Jim. I use mines every day with a 16". I was cutting big grandis today and it coped fine. It's got plenty of power and torque. I still prefer my 361 tho. I preferred the throttle on that to the 362. There's something about it that makes it feel like a husky throttle It's cut out a few times just after I've been revving it but that's my only problem with it. I'm much happier with it than I expected to be 👍 Sent from my HTC One using Arbtalk mobile app
