I had the same thing happen twice with a stihl ms360 that I put really cheap aftermarket top ends on. I used caber rings but bolted the top ends on. The funny thing is that it didn't happen right away. I broke each saw in running rich and used the saw personally cutting firewood for a couple...

Sending a big high five from Kentucky. Keep on fixing them oldie but goodie saws. Watch out, it tends to get into your blood.

I am getting a divorce and the lack of funds is the only reason I am not buying it lol. I love running scott's hybrid builds. The one at randys gtg last year that is scott's personal saw is a monster. One day I will send him one to work his magic. Good luck witht he sell. It's gotta be a...

What all is required. Do I need a new coil and flywheel? Or do I just need to get it switched over to a manual adjust carb and unplug the electronics?? Need more specifics please.

Wanting to know what is needed to convert from an mtronic to adjustable carb setup. Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like your gonna take it way up there lol

Might pull the carb and look at the screen in the carb to make sure it's not clogged up with the super fines. Had this happen a couple times with other saws. Watch when pulling the carb apart cause you can damage the diaphrams. Might have a pin hole in a diaphragm causing it to not pump fuel...

Sweet I will give it a try and let you guys know how it turns out. Thanks for the help.

It's just a hit feeling but it just feels out of time somehow.

I believe I have another coil laying around to try. I may experiment with it first.

Does anyone know if the coils interchange from the xp to the x torque??? And how about the flywheels are they the Same???

Trying to get this saw going well and it would start and run good but shut it off and try to restart and it would flood. Found needle in the carb not sealing off. Now when trying to start it the saw backfires through the intake. If you can get it started it runs and idles pretty well but it's...

It is electronic ignition. I might just have to scrounge around the shop. I think I have another carb on a parts saw I could try. Swap the new kit in it and see. On this one there is only one metal ring on the very outside of the intake flange where the carb seats. Is there supposed to be a...

Working on a friend's saw and I have replaced crank seals, fuel line and installed a carb kit. Saw fires right up normally and runs good wide open but has an iratic idle. Sounds like it has an air leak. I inspected intake and impulse but found no issues. Saw does have a slight score line on...

Shoot needs new fuel lines and an ignitor just to try and get it going lol.
