Craftsman 358382000 chainsaw Parts

On the Craftsman chainsaw model 358382000, the model number is shown on the product and serial number plate on the saw body. That plate is the most reliable place to confirm the exact model before ordering parts or following service steps in the 358382000 operator's manual.

The operator’s manual identifies a product and serial number plate on the chainsaw. Check these common spots first:

• On the side of the rear handle area near the fuel tank
• On the starter housing side of the saw body
• Near the chain oil tank area
• Along the crankcase area behind the clutch cover

Use the plate to capture the details you need for parts lookup and troubleshooting.

Craftsman chainsaws can look similar across model families, but parts like the ignition module, clutch, and fuel system components can differ. Confirming the model number first prevents ordering the wrong part and helps you follow the correct maintenance and safety instructions.

• Wipe the area with a rag and mild cleaner (avoid soaking decals)
• Use a flashlight at an angle to make stamped text easier to see
• Take a close-up photo and zoom in to read the characters
• Match the model number format shown in the 358382000 operator's manual

The model number for this Craftsman gas chainsaw is 358.382000 (often written without the dot as 358382000). You can confirm it on the product and serial number plate and in the 358382000 operator's manual.

Look for the model and serial information in these common locations:

• On the product and serial number plate on the chainsaw body
• Near the rear handle or starter housing area
• Under or near the cylinder cover
• Printed on the first page of the operator’s manual

Craftsman model numbers are commonly shown in two equivalent ways.

Before ordering parts like a spark plug or primer bulb, we recommend these checks:

• Match the model number exactly: 358.382000 (or 358382000)
• Verify the serial number on the same plate (helps confirm production version)
• Compare key features listed in the manual (for example, this model is shown with a 20-inch bar)
• Use the illustrated parts list in the manual to confirm part placement

Craftsman chainsaws in the 358.xxxxxx family can look similar, but small differences (fuel system parts, clutch cover style, bar and chain specs) can change which replacement parts fit. Using the exact model number keeps your parts match accurate.

For the Craftsman chainsaw model 358382000, use a 50:1 (2%) gasoline to 2-stroke oil mix. That ratio matches the fuel-mixing chart in the 358382000 owner's manual and helps protect the engine while keeping starting and running performance consistent.

The manual specifies 2% (50:1). Here are common equivalents:

• 1 US gallon gas: 2 1/2 US fl oz 2-stroke oil
• 5 liters gas: 0.10 liters 2-stroke oil
• Mix in an approved fuel container, not in the saw’s tank

Follow the same mixing method used in the manual:

• Pour about half the gasoline into a clean fuel can
• Add all the measured 2-stroke oil
• Cap and shake to blend
• Add the remaining gasoline
• Shake again right before refueling
• Only mix up to one month’s supply to avoid stale fuel problems

Running the correct 50:1 mix helps prevent piston and cylinder damage from under-lubrication, and it also reduces plug fouling and heavy exhaust smoke that can happen with richer oil mixes.

Each time you refuel, we also recommend checking chain lubrication and filling bar and chain oil at the same time as fuel. If the saw is hard to start or runs poorly after fueling, use the tips for a hard to start chainsaw checklist to narrow it down quickly.

Yes. You can scrap a Craftsman gas chainsaw model 358382000; most of the unit is metal and can go with scrap metal once you make it safe by removing fuel and chain oil, securing the cutting attachment, and preparing it for transport as outlined in the 358382000 owner's manual.

Before you take the saw to a recycler or scrap yard, we recommend these steps:

• Empty the fuel tank and the chain oil tank in a well-ventilated area
• Store any drained fuel in an approved fuel container
• Fit the guide bar cover (bar guard) so the chain is not exposed
• Activate the chain brake
• Remove the spark plug cap so the engine cannot accidentally start
• Secure the chainsaw so it cannot tip or leak during transport

Most scrap yards accept the metal body, guide bar, and chain as scrap metal, but liquids and some non-metal parts are handled differently.

Fuel vapors and oil residue can create a fire risk during transport and at a recycling facility. Securing the bar and disabling the ignition also prevents serious cuts from accidental contact with the chain.

If the saw is hard to start or will not start, common fixes include replacing the spark plug or primer bulb, and checking fuel delivery.

• Inspect and replace the Craftsman lawn & garden equipment engine spark plug 503235111 if it is fouled
• Replace a cracked or stiff chainsaw primer bulb 503936601
• Check the fuel filter and fuel lines for restriction or leaks
• Use fresh, properly mixed fuel (old fuel is a frequent cause of no-start)

For troubleshooting steps, use tips for a hard to start chainsaw.
