Problems with homelite 360

[ncsawguy]

i have a a homelite 360. it runs good for about 15 minutes and then wants to quit. i have replaced the boot, carb kit, fuel lines, a nos ignition module. it used to run well then all of a sudden it wants to choke out. i thought it was gas but i cleaned that out, i thought it was ignition and i replaced it. after 15 min it starts to want to choke out like it not getting gas. does antone have any suggestions?

try and remember that although Homelite was a good saw in its day... they just dont measure up to the likes of the "real good saws". I understand that you may have an attachment to your saw but please, please dont get me wrong here. It might be the saw is just old and needs a retirement party. I personally dont have the mechanical experience with small engines to give you a solid answer, but did run a Homelite for sometime many years ago...eventually it blew up on me just after a rebuild, so if that helps i am glad. If it doesnt help then continue your quest here someone will have an answer for you that may prove to be the one you are looking for.

tank vent? Impulse line if it has one. They are cheap and easy and may be the reason

Now that was a knowledgeable, informative post.....

Guess all the logging done in the '50s, '60s, and '70s was done without "real good saws".....:hmm3grin2orange:

To the original poster..............come over to the Homelite thread. We'll help you out.

Yep. There's folks with more mechanical experience with small engines in the Homelite thread...................and less useless chatter. Folks there work on their own saws, and make up their own minds as to which saws "measure up to the real good saws".

Of course, the problem with this saw must be the fact that it is an old Homelite. A saw made by "real good saw" manufacturers wouldn't have any of the same problems as this Homelite. Any person without mechanical experience with small engines can see that.:jester:

Do you change your own plugs? Mix your own gas? Sharpen your own chain? Tie your own shoes? Or does your dealer do that all for you?
