Came across a 362 for $300, not sure if its mtronic or not. And also a 360 pro for $250. Supposedly the run good, and from the pics seem to be in decent condition. Should i jump on them both??

I am headed to check them both out as soon as im off work. Pretty sure they will both be following me home tonight.. haha!
Soo, on the 362, the recoil cover only has 362 on it, not 362c. This means it is a carb model correct?

Sweet, thanks randy!!
Random question for ya, how do the carb models compare to my 362 mtronic after you work your magic on both of them? Pretty similar or noticable difference between carb and mtronic?

I have two carb 362's. Never let me down. That's a good price, carb or mtronic.

One more random question, does taking the muffler off of a ms360 use the same torx bit i use to remove the muff on my 362? Never pulled one off a 360 and wasnt sure if i needed to bring any other tools. Hopefully these saws are stil available when i get off work tomorrow soo i can finger bang them real good and swoop them up.

Buy the 360.
The 362, meh...
Look at them next to each other. The 360 is 3-4cc larger in displacement and a lot more compact. Simpler design, lots of part availability and easier to work on.
You'll probably be able to flip the 362 though, and Randy sure can spice a 362 up really well-impressive saw a MM362.
It's your money though.
