A little embarassed but here it is. Was cutting with my 361. Ran out of gas and friend told me he had mix - no need to run back to my house. Filled up the tank and the 361 was hard to start. Started it for a second or two, and then it conked out on me. Oh crap I thought....
My guess is he had a 32:1 mix intead of 50:1. Didn't get q chace to verify that yet. He was not running his saw. Anyway, I dumped what was in the tank and refilled with 50:1. The saw started after much coaxing and then smoked like a SOB. Let a full tank run through before shutting her down for the night.
Question is, how bad off is the saw. Potentially no damage and just need to burn some oil off or...what do you guys think? Thought I would post here instead of chainsaw thread cause this is where I visit when I'm on the site.
Thanks for your feedback. :stupid:
