GOOD INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tough to figure stuff out like that unless all the bits and pieces are there in front of you. Good information Ric! :clap::clap::clap:
 
360 complete!

I finally got to run my 360 pro. I had seen Ricks (wildman) when he got hs a few months ago and I like that saw. His even had the orig case. Mine is very good shape. Low hour saw very good compression. I rebuilt the carb, new fuel lines and filters also tore it down, cleaned it and replaced the intake boot. Even found one that is ethanol resistant...suposedly. That was about 2 months ago. I got it started and the saw would not keep an idle and ran choppy at best. Turns out the plastic fuel line barb on the carb was cracked and making a nice air leak. I was at my saw shop and managed to get an donor carb (along with some other cool stuff) that I robbed the barb off of.
This saw runs like new. I made a few cuts in an oak pallet, not much of a test but this saw has some guts.

Me likey, doesn't look used much. Is it as much of a PITA as the 330 to get apart?

Cliff, saw looks like it cuts good. I see you have a pickup there, could you drop off a load of wood for me :laugh:

Still winter here, forcasting more stupid snow this weekend. :angry:

Thanks Brian...I dont think that truck would make it out of the county much less to where you are....which is?
 
What Homelite would be similar to a Poulan 245a...I like that Poulan but having a hard time finding a good one.

I didnt think so. I had a 330 apart and that saw was a PITA. The 360 wasnt bad at all. The boot was the only part that took some work. But the 360 and 330 are 2 different animals for sure. For one thing (one big thing) the 360 uses a bolt on jug, not a clamshell like the 330.
 
Cliff,

I have a Poulan 245 and a Homelite XL700, which is pretty similar to a 925, same P/C in most cases. From my research they changed the 925 from 82cc to 77cc due to overheating problems.

Ignitions are a little different, but that Homelite is a really good running saw, as well as the 245.
