craftsman 358.356331

[parkermrk]

I am working on a craftsman chainsaw model 358.356331 for a friend of mine. When he brought it to me the gas lines were missing. They had crumbled and he had removed what was left of them so I have no idea how they were routed. My question is, does this particular model have what they call an impulse line coming from the motor going to the carb?

you can check there for parts diagram, just type in model #.
Some saws have an impulse port, don't use separate line.
If saw has prime bulb it probably has supply & return fuel line & line from
bulb to carburetor.

Type in model number.

Rebadged Poulan 3350

The part #'s on diagram are Poulan. I googled the cylinder #,
it also showed as Poulan (3350). You should be able to get fuel line &
filter @ a local saw shop. One of my local NAPA stores has a good
selection of line in rolls. I can buy it locally <$2/ft.

Without pics, it didn't happen.

I'm going to try that: Check the part# to see who made Craftsman Chainsaw #917.351270

Thanks for the mention.


Well I found the part # but haven't found the maker.

Roper (AYP)

917 appears to be Roper (AYP).

Thanks, Roper than should be able to give me a safe ratio. Here is a picture of the saw:

Roper Industries went out of business in the 1980s.

I used to own a similar looking Sears Craftsman/Roper 3.7 (Made in the early 1970s). I also owned a newer Sears Craftsman/Poulan 3700 (Made 20 years later in the early 1990s).

I ran 40:1 gas/oil mix in both saws and experienced no problems.

Today's 2 cycle, air-cooled oil is far, far superior to the oils available in the early 1970s.

Yep, Roper is in business but they don't know anything about chainsaws, If you want kitchen equipment you are in.

Nope! Roper appliances is a completely different company. The Roper company that made Craftsman chainsaws for Sears went out-of-business and vanished.

Well Sir, I didn't know that. I did get some information from about the mix a fellow is using on old machines, On the thread "Craftsman Ranger". I appreciate you guys helping me hunt things down. Richard
