I got to run a 362 c-m today and its not that exciting at all..but i suppose thats because i ran a 562xp for a while
Dang, I'm trying so hard!
and everything keeps pushing me into a 562xp with its flippin carb issues ! Did you notice any difference in low end grunt? Was the saw broken in at all or brand new?

Well being fair to the 362 it was its first tank of fuel..we measured the log at 21 inches its was a nice seasoned piece of white oak..but the 562 i had was pretty impressive from the get-go..i didnt lean on it too hard i wanted to keep the Rs up but ill stick to my guns that the 562 is a better performer

ok ..... so MustangMike, did your 362 c-m gain much after several tanks and have you run a 562xp yet?

Go with your dealer you like the most and or is well equipped to deal with potential A/T - M/T issues that may arise..thats why i canned that 562..the husqvarna dealer by me doesnt know the difference between semi or full chisel chains and certainly couldnt adress a AT issue the only swede saw i have as of now with AT is a 2253 from terry and hopefully it holds out..if not im sure terry would handle it

The 562 is a great saw.......no bones about it.

Was it broken in? Mine felt anemic on the first tank of gas, but then it kept getting stronger, and I will tell you it is not anemic now. There is also a person on this website who has one of each (562 XP & 362 C-M) and he said they cut about the same and he slightly preferred the 362. I have not run both saws, so I can not say, but the 362 C-M. after it is broken in, is no slouch.
All stock saws are slow in my eyes
Im having a hard time understanding what answers your looking for , you seem to like your saw from all of your posts about it and thats all that matters anyway , send it to randy, his m- tronics thus far seem to be awesome runners im sure a 362 is no different

He likes his 362 but in the back of his mind he knows he should've bought a 562 so talking up the 362 helps that feeling.

and therein lies my problem. local dealer is AT/MT clueless but moves high volumes of saws and is super discounter - I don't want the weight of a heavier non-AT saw (365 or 372), just want the performance of a snappy 60cc saw - The only guy who is autotune savvy here is over an hour drive each way and $200 more money
for the same 562xp. Buying from a US dealer here is not in the cards as I'm in Canada and cross border delivery can be nightmare.
Then try to find a nice 361 or somethin along those lines..go look at my 357 in the tradin post

thought of that also and have been looking, but when I can get new 562XP/ms362 c-m for almost same price used 361's are going for, don't really want to buy used ... I may just continue to kick tires until the AT carb kinks get better worked out or just take my chances with local discounter and offer to get them up to speed on PC interface diagnostics
.... heII, it's not rocket science

So tell me what M-Tonic saw you have run that did not run good for it's size? The 362 C-M is the new kid on the block, but the 261 C-M and 441 C-M are getting great reviews, and run much stronger than their non M-Tronic counterparts. If anyone does not like the 441 C-M it is NOT because it does not cut well. The 362 C-M not running great on the first tank of fuel does not mean a thing, my saw got so much stronger as it broke in it was like a whole different saw. I have no regrets about picking a 362 C-M instead of a 562. The people I feel sorry for are the guys on their second 562 and it still won't run right, and Husky dos nothing. Go tell them how great their saw is.

Don't let them scare you off a 362 C-M, the saw runs very strong when it is broken in, and I'm use to running a 10mm 044 for 20 years. Let's see them knock that saw.
If thats how you feel about your saw , thats great , just dont run a 562 and you will be fine ..you will continue to post daily about it in an utter state of bliss and stay happy , and thats what its about anyway !
Noone is knocking a 10mm 044 , i had one as well its a nice runner , your beloved 362 is getting knocked , and its great you like it were all happy that you do , it doesnt handle as well as a 562 nor is it as fast , accept it , that doesnt make it inferior , it just is what it is
