Low compression on my new Stihl MS362

[X 66 Stang347 X]

I see a lot of millennial loggers run to the dealer to get their chain sharpened. You could tell them the chain’s shot and they wouldn’t know the difference.

This is a special thread.

Still say the compression is wrong.

It would be a higher reading with a proper fitting for the 10 mm cylinder thread. When playing with squish measurements a few mm makes a big difference in compression readings which directly transfers to volume, add volume and compression readings drop, decrease and rises. Just deleting the base gasket raises the compression 10 lbs so just imagine what a hollow cylinder attached to the cylinder head would cause the comp to drop. From what I have seen on this thread alone it would seem about 40 lbs comp drop.

Without going back through all the pages, I can’t remember 1 single picture of the infamous saw in question?

While JD/Stihl may not replace the unit... they can return it to you cutting properly and that’s ultimately what you wanted when you put your money on the counter.

It’s hard, when emotions are in play..
You do a lot of wishing for resolutions to go a certain way, what could I have done different, what should the Dealer do for me etc...

My hope for you is for Stihl to be Stihl.
For your trust not to be misplaced; for you to have a saw that’s well... a saw.

I haven’t needed to buy a saw in a while. It’s because there’s one in the garage that starts and runs when I need it to. It cuts right, it feels right.

I’d like for your 362 to be that way for you. ... Here’s hopin’

You forgot one.

You forgot one.

I think he had you covered under "white" and "german".

 

[huskihl]

Is this thing ported yet?

Keep that over in the P + R thread.

Lol never thought about it like that. I was just looking at his makita with the white covers

Don’t , wouldn’t be nice, that thing is beastly.

But it would liven up the thread a little.

Yes there's pictures of it, remember the tachometer housed on or in the top cover?
BTW I'd be suprised if there is anything wrong with the saw.

It drives people that dont know this nuts!

Very good, give them a chance to rectify this problem. Best of luck James.
