357xp

My dad's 357XP just quit yesterday like he hit the kill switch. There is spark and the plug is wet after a few pulls but absolutely NO fire. I rebuilt the carb about 5 hours of runtime before this happened (small fiber in one port). It was running great until this latest episode.

Any ideas?

carb not cleaned thouroughly?

or properly? tank vent clogged?

 

[briantutt]

I assume so. I even pulled the welch plug. I would think 5 hours would have ironed out the bugs. Wouldn't a squirt in the plug hole at least make it fire if the carb was messed up?

where is the tank vent!

Latest 2 orange additions, and the short bar on the 394.

Nice pruner ***** joe. LOL


Brian, any spark?

 

[briantutt]

little possum,

there is visible spark but I don't know how to quantify if it is "good spark".

[little possum]

Oh, alright. I just misunderstand your first post about no fire. You meant firing, I was thinking spark.

I dont know what "good" spark is either. But I usually hold the plug and pull the rope The worse the tingling, the better the spark.
Good luck, I like the 357s, heck I like all orange saws.

I got the $50 "auction special" 359 back to the land of moving parts. After a new piston and a carb rebuild it lives again. I don't have any pics yet but I'm going to go and break 'er in tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

My guess would be 84dl - but not sure about the small mount bars (or is it one of the newer large mount ones, on the 372xp case?) .......

Anyway, the dl count should be stamped or etched into the bar, close to the powerhead on the right side, when the print on the bar is upright.

lol acutally works extremely well when cutting lumber like 2x4's and even better on ply wood.:greenchainsaw:

You called it. It's stamped right on the bar 84DL. I should be more patient...

I thought all the 262 and 266xp's were large mount Trollie??? I know the 345 weren't, but thought any 60cc and more were...

opcorn:

266s were large mount - 262s were small mount, and on a smaller and lighter case.

Most 362s were small mount, except the last batch made specially for a shortlived "reintro" on the US market (likely on the slightly heavier 372 case, not the 371 case that they originally were on).

Here's the 359. Needed a new piston, spark plug, air filter and carb rebuild. Other than the $50 I paid for it I maybe have that much in parts costs and it came with 4 good chains too.
