Commencing the odyssey of fixing up some Stihls

Haha

 

My OEM carb kit got here quick. Hope to have one of the 362's running today. Helped ordering from a guy in Columbus off eBay. Sad that it's quicker than ordering from my local guy.

 

Ended up put up some new LED lighting outside today. Shop work can wait until later, it was upper 60's here today. Couldn't let that slip by.

 

Holy cats! It's been a month?

Anyway, finally got around to getting the worst looking 362 running. Pressure and vacuum test showed no need for seals. Held 7psi for 5 mins and 5 in-Hg for same before I released the relief valve.

All I really needed to do after a through cleaning was the following:

-Use a "Plug Saver" insert to repair stripped sparkplug.

-Ballhone cylinder

-replace the fuel line in the tank with OEM line. Upper line passed a pressure test.

-Put a set of Caber rings in this one

-OEM carb kit

-Replace a couple of the urethane ISO mounts.

-New pre-filter and air filter

I'll get some pics later since I didn't have my phone. I think this one is going on Craigslist and I'll keep the other 362 since cosmetically it's in better shape. Selling this saw should cover the cost of purchase of the saws and parts for all four.
