New to me Stihl MS362

[Rick A]

New to the forum. Just picked up a Stihl MS 362, carb model, circa 2013. Chain is new, bar is new, no scratches on the saw, etc. Looks like it sat in the case on a shelf for most of its life. Didn't need to do too much to clean it up. Drained the old fuel, changed the plug, put in a new fuel filter, air filter is clean. Blew off some grung, wiped off the saw, added some new fuel, 2 pulls and she fired right up. I'm thinking that it might have been used once or twice by the previous owner for firewood then left on the shelf. Feels like it is going to be a pretty good upgrade to the my Husky 445.

I have a MS362C . It was brought in with broken tank /handle. Think OEM Stihl was over $200. So, the guy just left it. I bought a used tank for $50. So, that's how much I have in it.
Nice fire wood saw with a 20 inch bar.

I use mine as a trail saw. It’s a good little saw. Well done.

I have the 362cm. 362 is a nice bit of kit. Liked mine so much I had it Mastermind woods ported. Keeps up with the bigger dogs now and a joy to run.

It's a real good saw that can take down good sized trees if needed. Mine has taken down a few 40 inch around trees latest was 42 inches.
