Hey guys I'm Eric from Seymour Indiana just joined been a lurker for a while. Have ran Stihl handheld power equipment since I was a teen doing landscaping etc. Have plenty experience doing repair and fab work. Yada-yada... ok introduction over I was running my 360 pro Saturday cutting firewood, ran about 6 tanks of fuel through it. It was running out of fuel, I was trying to hurry and finish my last cut rather than stop and refuel for 10 seconds of cutting. On mine at least if I put it nose down, the pickup tube seems to get more fuel. So I was doing that, then needed to level it out and as I leveled it she was starving for fuel and died as I let it down to idle, so I set it down. Refueled and pulled the rope and she locked up after a few pulls. I was basically done cutting for the day so I loaded all the wood up and saws up and headed home. Just got a chance to tear into it a bit ago, see pics... I expected damage on exhaust side not intake. I'm not real familiar with 2 stroke stuff I mean I understand how it works and all but I'm not real good at diagnosing this kind of thing. My guess is she ran lean as it got too low on fuel. Carb was dialed in good she was 4 stroking at wot no load then cleaned up once in the cut. Running 32:1 mix in 93 octane gas. This saw is my baby and I need to fix it pretty much asap.
Parts from Bailey's I know but what brand? Anyone selling a ported cylinder right out of the box? This thing is tough but I wouldn't mind a little more umph.
Also I broke a fin on the flywheel using it to bar it over to unstick it (knew it was a bad idea) so need a flywheel too. Are these keyed shaft? And what is ignition module air gap to flywheel spec?
I hate when I get impatient... cost me a lot this time....
Thanks in advance for all the help I know I'm gonna get.
