Go to your local Yamaha dealer and ask for a tube of Yamabond 4.
Might be around $8
Enough to seal up dozens of sawz

LOL, my 390 8 pin sure cut like a banshee yesterday. Matter of fact the junk overweight 390 was used to cut the bigger stuff while the big bad 036 stayed in the smaller wood. Yea the 390 homeowner showed the 036 who was who! father in law (who owns the 036) was highly impressed with my junk a$$ 390. It seems you like to overrate some non essential facts.
OP, make sure it is sealed! If it runs as good as mine you'll be quite happy! Totally different saw when you are done.

You need to figure out what happened to the first engine!

Elaborate a tad!
Gasket maker. Permatex makes an "ultra grey" that I have had great results with. A little cheaper and available at most auto parts stores. High oil resistance, for high torque load applications and withstands 500 degrees.

Fish. Just an FYI. Your posts are coming through. You can only do so much.
If he's replacing everything that can leak, does what caused the first one to burn up matter? I know you know more than I do about this stuff, so I'm asking.

Dull chain and bad fuel line.
I did notice problem but did not stop before damage occurred. Expensive learning lesson. Have switched to SEF to eliminate fuel issues. VP fuels only 2 miles out of the way on the way home from work.

I've learned allot here in the last couple months. Now have the resources here for success and confidence to repair. Was always intimidated by small engines. Have rebuilt car motors and rebuilt a few automatic transmissions 727, 904 and a 350

No you don't need one I plugged mine with a plug from a bigger Stihl saw
Baileys has the plug or you can get it at your local Stihl dealer for under $5

+1 here for me. Unless you have the actual MS390 cover that is designed for the decomp --- you really don't need it with this saw. Purchase the plug at the dealer or get one from Northwood saw. You can modify your existing cover if you like but to me it is not worth the time and effort to include it in your rebuild. Just plug it and run it! You should be happy with the MS390 swap. The one I did worked excellent!

Two things come to mind:
1) Put an 8 pin on the 036
2) Did the 036 have gas in the tank?
