NEW Stihl MS 362 C-M with M-Tronic Engine Management Technology

[@cindycindy4536]

I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle kzbin.infoUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

[@endurancekennels]

Nice. I won't tell you about my 500i then...😎

[@Saul2PaulCatholic]

I just bought a MS362 CM today with both a 20" an 25" bar. Saw screams like a banshee! Glad I stepped up to the pro-level saw.

[@endurancekennels]

Pro saws are the way to go my 261 is 11 years old cut 10+ cords a year runs like a champ!

[@Erik-ri7ze]

I have a 361 with a 20 inch bar and I can tell you that after 15.years it still works perfectly just get yearly maintenance

[@endurancekennels]

Nice!

[@jocool47]

my favorite saw. not too big for small jobs, not too small for big jobs

[@randysmith8604]

I bought a 362 with a wrap handle and came with a 28 inch. It will run the long bar but I switched to a 25. Does a lot better. The longer bar has to be a super sharp chain or don’t bother.

[@endurancekennels]

25" does pretty good I have it ported now sounds mean.

[@deliverybryan1138]

I have the same saw . It’s an awesome saw and mine has a 20” bar

[@endurancekennels]

Yep the 20" is stock I keep the 25" on because my 261 has an 18".

[@floriceeel]

25 inch might be a bit overkill for that saw. 20 in hardwood seem like a good bar lenght for the 362. I'm using a 25 on the 462 when falling and an 18 when bucking firewood.

[@baldguysquattinginthedark4567]

floriceeel 25 inch on a 661

[@6900pilot]

Defo agree there, 20 is max for that saw.i have 25 light bar on stihl 500i and a 28 for bigger stuff.

[@6.8SuperDutyDriver]

I'm gonna get a MS362 w/20" b&c. My dealer has them with the regular carburetor and M-Tronic's for the same price. I'm leaning towards the regular carbureted version.

[@endurancekennels]

There ya go. Make sure you get the 2 year warranty.

[@bluelude2001]

My 362c doesn't sling enough oil when I use a 25" bar. Wish the oiler kept up. Saw has no problems pulling it strength wise though.

[@endurancekennels]

You can thin it out by adding used motor oil.

[@JG54206]

Do you have the Oiler turned up? It has an adjustable Oiler on it and it doesn’t come maxed out.

[@jumper553]

Then something is wrong, because you can open it up and easily adjust to too much. Make sure it's cleaned out. And I guess you could thin the bar oil, however I have run a longer bar and had no issues. And I'm talking about a longer bar on hardwood (oak and juniper). And I am talking about in below zero (°F) as well as over 100°F.

[@billcantrell5003]

the saw looks great nice and shiny

[@wilypeterson901]

Great vid, might be a weird compliment but your voice is very relaxing and I really like chainsaws so this was a great video to fall asleep to. Thanks for posting!

[@endurancekennels]

Ha ha thanks 😝

[@kendallbyrne2788]

I wonder why the gave you an adjustment screwdriver for the carb when the saw is an mtronic pro saw???

[@endurancekennels]

Haha yep. No idea.

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

To adjust the chain oil flow rate.

[@stewy_604]

Great review! I'm torn between with MS 261 C-M (18" bar) and the MS 362 C-M (20" bar). This would be the only saw I'll have, for now. Its for an acreage, property and land maintenance, fire wood, etc... Thoughts?

[@endurancekennels]

Both great saws. The 261 is more than capable of taking anything on. I use it more because of the weight. Easier to buck branches without breaking your back.

[@stewy_604]

@@endurancekennels definitely leaning that way...if I need something bigger down the road, I can get a "big boy" saw.

[@kendallbyrne2788]

This will be my next saw after my ms261

[@endurancekennels]

Love my 261 use it 95% of the time much lighter and easier to limb.

[@kendallbyrne2788]

@@endurancekennels haha lol, auto correct got the best of me, I ment to say after my ms291

[@stewy_604]

I'm torn between the MS 261 C-M and this MS 362 C-M...eventually, I'll want a smaller saw as well as a bigger one, for now, this will be my only saw. Thoughts? Application is acreage use, firewood, limbing, etc...

[@tylervanwormer8302]

Supposed to let it idle right after a cold start for 30sec or so to give the carb time to adjust

[@angelemmanuel287]

[@jamescarr8415]

That saw is a beast!!! I want one!!

[@endurancekennels]

It's pretty sweet.

[@FishFind3000]

Ive had mine for just under 2 years and I cant find enough wood to cut. I love it. I did a small muffler mod and now it doesn't bog as badly with a 25" bar. I'm mostly noodling firewood that I cant split.

[@fallgeneralsurgery]

@@FishFind3000 what muffler mod did you make?

[@FishFind3000]

@@fallgeneralsurgery 3/8 hole right next to the exhaust. you can probably go with 1/4 and start there and go up if need be. i drilled right next to the existing exhaust outlet where there's a space.

[@fabzacres-blackcat]

FishFind3000 here’s an older version 362c on steroids lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHqtmKl5n9qcptk

[@kennethjamesjohnny9820]

I have a 28inch bar on my 362.

[@orBMW]

Me too, get the new lightweight Stihl bar. It weighs less then the 20”.

[@wolverinebear5357]

I just bought a 362 like 3days ago, its my first saw ever an a noob really, though ive done lots of research online like most of us do. So i went to the local Stihl dealer a very unfriendly man who owned the place was working, iam looking at his shelf of saws an i see the 362 an the tag says 362 C-M, i tell the guy thats the one i want so he gets it off the showroom shelf we do our exchanges i give money he gives me the saw, as leaving iam thinking well damn i just dropped $960 bucks an didnt even get an owners manual but figured its not that complicated. I get home fire up the saw alls well, then i get to looking at it an the cover where it says 362 on the side dont have the C or the M on it, then i get to comparing pics an notice i do not have the M-Tronic an hell i dont know if its the C- comfort saw either. Did i just get ripped off or what, i was under the impression i was getting the C-M version. This saw has the 2stage choke an the adjustment holes for the carburetor. Does anyone know if i got screwed or what?

[@endurancekennels]

No idea without any pictures. The carb is self adjusting on the C-M highly doubtful you were ripped off.

[@josheverett4514]

Nice quality video

[@endurancekennels]

Thanks man!

[@fallgeneralsurgery]

Nice chainsaw! Do you think I could do knee surgery with it?

[@endurancekennels]

lol

[@jumper553]

You could definitely CAUSE a need for knee surgery with it!

[@chriswilder100]

Very nice saw

[@endurancekennels]

No complaints so far!

[@billcantrell5003]

Has the chainsaw live up to your expectations?

[@endurancekennels]

Yeah it's pretty good so far much heavier than the 261 but cuts faster. I usually fell trees with this one then buck with the 261.

[@SP-mp9yi]

Hi can I ask did you have any issues with the M Tronic for starting and idling ? I'm in the market for a new 60cc and the 362 definitely felt the best to me over the other brands I need the lighter weight and balance of the 362 but I just can't get past all the horror stories going around, any thoughts ?

[@endurancekennels]

Haven't had any issues yet.

[@SP-mp9yi]

Great news thanks

[@JG54206]

If you’re still interested, I work at a Stihl dealer and I’ve never see one of these new have any issues out of the box. I now own one but I haven’t gotten to do any real work with it yet but it seems like this model is pretty well sorted out.

[@lucastaylor713]

The GenII models don't seem to have any issues. I bought a new 362c m tronic in July. I work for a powerline right of way clearing company and use it quite extensively 4 days a week with a 25". I recently ported the muffler and it really opened it up...gotta be easy with the booger picker!

[@jumper553]

Maybe you are reading threads from when it was first introduced. They (I) had many issues with the M Tronic not starting once it was hot. Thought it was just me until I learned that it was widespread. Stihl dealt with it appropriately too. That was... 5-6 years ago and it is well proven now. Or at least that's what I'm seeing in the wildland fire saw world.

[@louisedjemamassard8535]

C'est combien coûte le prix ?

Oui oui pee pee

Let your saw warm up slowly or it's not going to last .

[@endurancekennels]

I did warm it up just off screen 😃

[@ryanwood74]

I’ve heard to many horror stories, no sale for me!

stihl can do better for a consumer warranty pretty disappointing... Husqvarna and echo offer 5 year warranty

Been using Stihl for 13 years never had an issue.
