We gotta revive this thread.
I'll get some pictures up soon. Had some good opportunities to run saw the last few weeks. Fell about 100 trees opening up holes along a road so we could get eyes into a fire and where it was.
Damn if I didn't mess a few up but overall B- performance for a middle aged man running a crew of newbie kids.
So hopefully AKDoug shows up and tells me how to fix my favorite MS362 mtronic saw. Running 28 inch bar with full skip and a West Coast Saw Barkbox. So in moments in idling while swamping or doing whatever, it stalls. I pull on it to start it back up and it pulls like it is flooded. I lock the chain brake and place the bar on a log, grab the throttle and press it to full, and then pull it and it fires right up and works for 5 to 10 more minutes then stalls. And we play that dance.
I kept using it because it has the West Coast Saw Felling Dawgs and it was the first time where consistently my face cuts were falling out. I attribute it to the dawgs helping with lining stuff up.
My local Stihl dealer told me on the last saw I brought them that my chain was extremely dull so they had to put a new chain on. I remember the chain being a razor - I asked them to bring me the old chain, it was a good filing all the corners sharp and looking really good. But it was filed close to the witness line on most of the chain so they were scared.
