Does the new ms362 c-m also use the same zama EL46 carb that the 562xp is now using?
I have a ms362 that i bought new. It's not the auto tune but i suspect the cylinders are similar.
I muffler modded the saw first. HUGE improvement. Stock is really choked down. I deleted the base gasket and ended up around .019" for squish. Minor improvement.
Lastly I took out the die grinder and opened up the exhaust port and matched the muffler to the exhaust port. There wasn't much to be done to the intake side, just not room. I also cleaned up the transfers and strato ports.
Overall I am happy with how the saw runs.
I would love to try gutting the strato and swapping carbs. A custom adapter would be needed. Based on what I have seen with the 261 I suspect it would work for the 362. As stated by the OP, just not much love for the 60cc class on AS.
OP, start with a MM. If you screw it up a new muffler is cheaper than a new cylinder.
362 is a heavy underpowered turd for its size.
Gimme an 036
Are you going this year? You were MIA last year.If there is a NY GTG that Adirondak and I both go to, I'll bring my Uncles 362c-m so we can "see" which is quicker. Only problem is I've run Adirondak's 044 so I wonder how stock his 036 is : )
