Craftsman 358350660 chainsaw Parts

The Craftsman 358350660 gas chainsaw is a 36cc (2.2 cu. in.) saw. If you’re asking about a “G660” as a different chainsaw model name, compare its engine displacement to 36cc so you get the right power level, bar length fit, and replacement parts; see the owner's manual for the exact spec listed for this model.

What the cc number means

Engine displacement (cc) is the size of the engine cylinder volume. In general, higher cc means more cutting power and torque, but also more weight and fuel use.

Quick comparison

Item	Craftsman 358350660	What to check on a “G660” listing
Engine size	36cc	cc rating on the data plate or spec sheet
Typical use	Occasional homeowner cutting	Match to your wood size and cutting frequency
Bar/chain fit	Uses a 16-in bar setup	Confirm bar length, pitch, gauge, and drive links

How to confirm the engine size on your saw

• Check the model tag and compare it to model 358350660
• Look for “36cc” or “2.2 cu. in.” in the specifications section
• Use the model number to match parts like fuel system and ignition components
• If you’re comparing two saws, use cc plus bar/chain specs, not cc alone

Why it matters

Using the correct cc and model identification helps you choose compatible maintenance and repair parts (fuel line, air filter, carburetor, ignition coil) and prevents fit issues when ordering items like a bar and chain.

If you need parts for this model, order from the parts list for Craftsman 358350660 or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

For most homeowners, a 16-inch chainsaw is the better all-around choice because it’s lighter and easier to control for limbing and general yard work; an 18-inch bar is better when you regularly cut thicker wood but requires more control and safe technique. For your Craftsman 358350660, we recommend following the bar and chain guidance in the 358350660 owner's manual.

How to choose between 16-inch and 18-inch

• Choose 16-inch for pruning, storm cleanup, and cutting smaller firewood rounds.
• Choose 18-inch if you often cut larger diameter logs and want more reach.
• If you get fatigued quickly, the lighter setup is safer and more productive.
• Longer bars increase the chance of the bar tip contacting objects; that raises kickback risk.
• Whatever length you use, keep the chain sharp and properly tensioned.

Safety and kickback control (why bar length matters)

Kickback happens when the chain at the bar tip contacts something or the chain gets pinched; longer bars give you more tip exposure, so control and technique matter even more. Our manual guidance emphasizes keeping the chain sharp, properly tensioned, and avoiding tip contact with branches, rocks, or other obstacles.

Quick safety checklist

• Wear proper PPE (eye protection, hearing protection, gloves, and non-slip footwear).
• Keep bystanders at least 30 feet away.
• Cut at full speed and avoid plunge cuts.
• Check chain tension regularly (never with the engine running).

16-inch vs 18-inch at a glance

Feature	16-inch bar	18-inch bar
Best for	Limbing, light firewood, cleanup	More frequent medium cutting
Handling	More maneuverable	Less maneuverable
Fatigue	Lower	Higher
Kickback exposure	Lower (less tip reach)	Higher (more tip reach)

Parts that must match your bar length

Bar length changes what chain you need. If you’re replacing wear items, match the bar and chain as a set.

• Bar 16" 160SDET041
• Chain 91PX056G

Why it matters

The “better” choice is the one you can control confidently for the full job. Better control reduces kickback risk, improves cut quality, and helps prevent chain derailment from improper tension.

For the Craftsman chainsaw model 358350660, use a 40:1 fuel mix (gasoline to 2-cycle oil). This model’s manual specifies 40:1, which equals 3.2 oz of 2-cycle oil per 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline; using 50:1 reduces lubrication and can shorten engine life.

Correct mix for this model

Use fresh, unleaded gasoline mixed with a good-quality synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil at 40:1.

• Mix fuel outdoors in an approved fuel container
• Eliminate sparks, flames, and smoking while fueling
• Wipe up spills before starting
• Move at least 10 feet from the fueling spot before starting
• Fill bar oil whenever you fill the fuel tank (this saw typically uses about one tank of bar oil per tank of fuel)

For the exact wording and any fuel notes for storage, follow the 358350660 owner's manual.

40:1 vs 50:1: what changes

Here is what the ratio change means in practical terms.

Mix ratio	Oil per 1 gallon gas	What it does	Best use case
40:1	3.2 oz	More lubrication	Required for Craftsman 358350660
50:1	2.6 oz	Less lubrication	Only for saws specifically rated for 50:1

Why it matters

Two-stroke chainsaw engines rely on the oil in the fuel for crankshaft bearings, piston, and cylinder lubrication. Running lean on oil (such as 50:1 in a saw designed for 40:1) increases heat and wear, and that shows up as hard starting, loss of power, and premature engine damage.

If your saw is hard to start after fueling

If the mix is correct and it still struggles, these checks solve most no-start issues:

• Drain old fuel and remix fresh 40:1 fuel
• Check the air filter and replace if dirty (see engine air filter 530037793)
• Inspect fuel lines for cracks or softness (see fuel line, small 530069247 and fuel line, large 530069216)
• Replace a stiff or leaking primer bulb (see primer bulb 530071835)
• If it runs rough or won’t stay running, the carburetor may need service (see carburetor 545081885)

On the Craftsman chainsaw model 358350660, we find the model number on the product ID label attached to the saw body, most often on the motor housing or handle area. Record the full model number exactly as shown so you can match the correct parts and manual.

Common places to check on a Craftsman gas chainsaw

Look for a small sticker or metal tag on these spots:

• Side of the engine/motor housing (near the starter cover)
• Rear handle area (near the throttle trigger)
• Bottom of the saw body (near the oil and fuel tank area)
• Near the bar mount/clutch cover area (around the bar nuts)
• Under the top cover (near the air filter cover on some versions)

What the model number looks like

For this saw, the manual identifies it as Model No. 358.350660 (you may see it printed with or without the dot). Use the full number when searching parts.

You might see	Use for parts lookup
358.350660	358350660
358350660	358350660

Why it matters

The model number ties your chainsaw to the correct parts list and specifications (for example, bar length, fuel mix guidance, and maintenance procedures). Using the exact model number helps prevent ordering the wrong fuel line, air filter, or carburetor.

Next best step

Confirm the model number, then use the exploded parts diagrams and procedures in the 358350660 owner's manual. If you are ordering parts, you can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
