    Dex, I believe you had one of these new, didn't you. On the first tank there was a slight miss on the high end. On the second tank the miss was less. Did you have any issues like that?

    My 362 didn't run to its full potential until about the 10th tank.

    No...it just felt underpowered. Is it missing while cutting?

    Ya, it has a miss at top end while cutting. I'm debating on whether or not to take it back to the dealer or run a few more tanks thru it.

    That doesn't sound right. I would take it back.

    Sounds like you might have a coil that isn't doing its job....but that's a complete guess.

    Had to take my 362c back to dealer already. Persistent stalling, especially when turning the saw sideways for felling. Apparently they are having problems with a solenoid not functioning properly. Got mine back yesterday but haven't tested it yet. Will update this weekend after puttin' the hurtin' on some unsuspecting ash.

    When did you get you 362? I haven't ran mine much, but previous owners have.

    No issues with my 362.
    When I first fire it up & the weather is significantly cooler or warmer than the last time i ran it, I think I can sense the saw adjusting itself.
    Then again I could be just imagining it!

    I bought it in late January. Ran at least ten tankfuls of fuel thru it before taking it in. Just didn't seem to be getting any better.

    Mine is going back to the Dealer this morning. I told them I wanted to use it over the weekend and they said they could get it back to me today. So we will see. The 362 is a big step up in power for me so it's hard for me to tell what it should feel like. So far it starts great and feels pretty powerful. Did quite a bit of damage on several trees awful quickly.
