i need to replace the sprocket bearing cage ( all the rollers somehow disappeared ) and not sure which part number i need to get. this one? http://www.amazon.com/Replacement-G...sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=stihl+ms361+needle+cage need a new fuel cap. it won't twist back around properly, i guess just from use. the ones i see all leave off the ms361 as a fuel cap, and say it can only be used as an oil cap for the ms361. i can't tell a difference in the caps on my saw, but wanted to confirm this. http://www.amazon.com/HIPA-STIHL-MS...42105421&sr=1-1&keywords=stihl+ms361+fuel+cap the e-clip for the sprocket somehow also disappeared. i picked up a pack from lowes to use. are standard clips fine? or do i need a specific one? my neighbor asked me to use it while i was at work. when i came back he showed me how he dropped a branch on the saw and the air filter cover was cracked. then i went to use it and the bar started heating up and smoking. the bar sprocket was seized, and i didn't see any debris in it, so figured it was an old bar and needed to be replaced. put a new bar in, and same problem. decided to start doing some exploratory surgery to see if it was an oiler problem. noticed the clip gone, then no bearings, and i guess the sprocket came off the worm gear causing the oiling problem. anyway, thanks for any help.
My friend did this to his 390. Ham fisted kinda guy, instead of sharpening the chain he would reef on the saw and that was all she wrote for the clutch bearing.
wow, that one looks like he hit it with a hammer, lol. the cage on mine still looks excellent, all the rollers are just gone.
I've seen this on the new plastic caged ones. No clue why it happens. Guessing specs on the aftermarket ones.
