    Stihl 362 C-M scored piston

    Well that sounds like the safe thing to do, but where's the fun in that? :) I thought for sure you guys would say go for the pop-up, and you might as well port it a little while you're in there! Once I have it back together, I doubt I'll take it apart again unless I have to. I just got a 261...

    Stihl 362 C-M scored piston

    That's exactly what I thinking. $5 for whole roll and I'll only need a few inches. I was going to lightly sand it to see if I could get it to .008" But now I'm leaning toward running no gasket and doing the small pop-up. Not sure yet.

    Stihl 362 C-M scored piston

    I got the cylinder all cleaned up. It cleaned up nicely. I did hit the top of the chamber with the end of my mandrel, but I don't think it'll affect anything. You can see it in one of the pictures and in a reflection off the cylinder wall. The squish with the new piston is about .010 without...

    Stihl 362 C-M scored piston

    40:1 it is from here on out. That seems to be the consensus! I ordered an OEM piston this morning from my dealer (it's on backorder), and will clean up the cylinder and give it a go. I've already watched a few videos about it. I have a stainless deflector from Red97 to put on the muffler...

    Stihl 362 C-M scored piston

    I have since switched to Amsoil saber in my other saw, and plan to run it in this saw too once I get it back together. I'm running a little richer than 50 to 1 rather than 80 to 1 they recommend. I'm planning to clean up and reuse this cylinder and get a new piston. @Pincher This thread is...

    A couple more pictures since I'm limited to 5 per post

    Stihl 362 C-M scored piston

    Finally got around to tearing the saw down. Pressure and Vacuum tested good. I wiped the cylinder out with a rag and wiped the piston off. No further clean up yet. Think this cylinder is okay? I can post more after I try to remove the little bit of aluminum from the walls.

    Stihl 362 C-M scored piston

    If I straight gassed them, that would mean I've been straight gassing 3 saws and my brush cutter for the last several weeks. Both saws started acting up within 10 minutes of each other, so I have to blame the gas, and not the saw. But the gas seemed fine a week before when I bucked up some oak...

    Stihl 362 C-M scored piston

    Thanks for the replies! Alright, time to take it apart then. Hopefully the cylinder is okay. I have always tried to keep my mix 2 months or less, and usually dump it when one machine or anther isn't acting quite right. The only thing I can think of that is different this time is the gas...

    Stihl 362 C-M scored piston

    Hey guys I'm new here... I posted on another site about this same issue, but thought I post here too. The piston in my Stihl 362 C-M looked great last week. I know this because I took pictures when I was asking about if the compression of 135-140psi is okay for this saw with about 3 gallons...
