I have a Stihl MS-361 which has been a great saw up until today. I thought the carb was plugged up so I took it off and sprayed it out.
It is running very erratic and like it is starving for fuel, then it runs great, then erratic again. I turned it on its side and ran it with the fuel cap removed and it seemed to run better. I think the tank vent is plugged and causing me to pull a vacuum inside the tank. The saw had sat a while and I guess some varnish could have formed. Where is it located on this saw? What will I have to pull apart to access it?
Thanks,
Conor
