My 330 had a similar symptom...start OK...run for a while then cut out like you hit the kill button. It was the ignition module. I put a NOS EI and it runs now until I run out of mix or "I" hit the off switch.
I think the 360 EI system has different parts than the 330.

Cool I know its something stupid
I'm putting together a couple of Homelite 330 chainsaws and forgot the hose routing on the carb and oiler. Anybody got a pic or two of this or can offer some help? I've put together a couple before but I can't remember this since it's been awhile..
Never mind, I think I figured it out. I forgot to look at the hose coming from the oil tank, I had the top off of it and couldn't figured out why I had an extra fitting.

That is cool. When I got my first choker setting job, I took a stick to my new tinfoil hat so I didn't look so "new"...dumb kid.Hi guys,
I went to a few flea markets the other day and ran across this old metal logging hat. I think I have only seen one Homelite hat compared to the McCulloch hats. I don't remember what the Homelite hat looked like i saw a long time ago but this one looks pretty old. Are there a few different types of these? What doed the oldest hat look like?
I think it has FC McDonald company stamped on it along with a bunch of patent dates. Anyway it is in real good shape besides the one dent on the top but that adds character to it and tells a story. I'm glad I ran across it as I collect anything Chainsaw related. Pretty nice.

Hey fellas. I found a C-52 for $50. I'm seeing 77cc's for 50 buck and can't get past that! The add says it runs but needs carb cleaned. I know nothing about these saws other than what Acres has in their profile. I think I can most likely figure the saw out with the info in this site and tinkering. Maybe a winter project.... How scarce and expensive are parts, carb kits and whatever else? I hate to get the saw, dump a bunch of cash in it and find a saw that I really want and be short.
What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance. Here's a few pics.

They are pretty sturdy saws. Tillotson HL carb so kits are readily available, manual oilers are pretty simple. If it doesn't have spark you may have to clean and set the points.
Hopefully the piston and cylinder are in good shape. You will likely need fuel and maybe oil line. I'l PM you an IPL and a service manual to browse through.

I'd take my chances on that one for $50. Parts are everywhere and the saw is a classic. Only thing I see that gives me pause for a bit of concern is what appears to be oxidation on the airbox cover and the handle, which if present to any significant degree on the bottom of the case could be problematic as "white death" deterioration on down the road somewhere...., depending on what it is I'm actually seeing in the pics and the storage environment of the saw over the years.

Ya, I saw the oxidation too.... I'm going to try to email the seller and see what happens.

Got it! Downloaded and saved as PDF. It just looks like a fun saw to play with once in a while.

I just had my nephew pick me up a C9 this weekend for $40.Hey fellas. I found a C-52 for $50. I'm seeing 77cc's for 50 buck and can't get past that! The add says it runs but needs carb cleaned.

I don't know anything about it. As my nephew knows nothing about saws. The kid that had it lives a half a block from his house.

The guy emailed me back - the saw is still available. Will ask for pics of the underside of the saw. If I decide to get it I will not be able to p/u until this weekend. Might be able to use the oxidation/deterioration as leverage on the price. Will try to keep you guys updated.

I decided to pass on the c-52. I just saw a couple saws on ebay that I would like to bid on.
If any of you are interested . Here's what the guy emailed me a told me via phone:
"The saw has been stored in the upstairs of my garage(2nd floor), for the last 20 years. This saw is a one owner saw, it was purchased new by my father. I haven't used the saw in about 15 years, because I have new lighter saws, however I did have it running acouple of times however I just don't use it and I am trying to free up space"
Link to the add.

Picked up these two today and not sure of what the one saw is. The Wiz has tag and can most likely figure it out. The other is a mule and think it might be in the 90+cc range, no tag on it. Any help would be appreciated on both. Thanks KZ.

Looks like a C51 or C52 to me.
I think that you nailed it, I looked at a few pictures of a c51 and it matches well. I'll look up the specs and any other info that I can find from there, thanks for the reply and good eye. KZ
