I haven't checked it out yet. It's still in the cab of my truck because I'm too depressed to even look at it right now.
I was working on a couple of wild cherries this morning. I was using it on some oak last week and noticed that the rpm would hang for a second or two after a cut. I didn't get through one tank of gas today when it lost compression very suddenly. Stuck rings and scored piston pro'lly.
I was given a box 'o' 361 a couple weeks ago, with a bad rod bearing.
The P/C is decent. A chunk of needle bearing had gotten by the piston, scratching it and sticking the rings. The file on my Swiss Army knife happens to fit the ring groves perfectly and I cleaned it up. It'll be fine.
Before I waste it on MY saw, just to lean it out and kill it, what went wrong with mine?
I had the carb set rich enough to flood it on cold start and it still acted lean.
Like I said, the rpm would hang after a cut.
I changed the carb with no improvement.
Crank seals?
I checked the fuel line, carb boot and cylinder bolts. All look good.
I killed my old Homelite 360 in the same exact way and wound up eBaying it off.
