Craftsman 358353690 gas chainsaw Parts

The model number for this Craftsman gas chainsaw is 358.353690 (often written without the dot as 358353690). On the saw itself, we typically find the model and serial tag under the handle; confirm the exact characters there and match them to the owner's manual.

Look for the identification label in the most common location noted in the documentation:

• Under the rear handle (near the serial number)
• On or near the housing under the handle area
• On the chassis where the handle mounts to the body
• Wipe off oil and sawdust so every digit is readable

Sears documentation often shows the same model in a few formats. These are equivalent when you are ordering parts:

Using the exact model number ensures we match the correct parts diagram and the correct fit for items like the guide bar, chain, and fuel system components.

• Guide bar length and mount style (example: guide bar 140SDEA041)
• Chain pitch/gauge and drive link count (example: chain 91PX052G or chain 91PX056G)
• Fuel system routing and sizes (example: fuel line 530069216)

Yes. You can scrap a Craftsman gas chainsaw model 358353690; most of the unit is metal and is commonly accepted as scrap once you make it safe by draining fuel and bar oil, removing the chain and guide bar, and cleaning off residue. For model-specific safety and handling guidance, use the owner's manual.

• Let the engine cool completely.
• Drain the fuel tank and run the engine briefly (outdoors) to help empty the carburetor.
• Drain bar and chain oil from the oil tank.
• Remove the guide bar and chain; store them safely so the cutters cannot contact anyone.
• Wipe up spills and residue; keep fuel-soaked rags in a safe, ventilated area until disposed.
• Transport the saw so it cannot tip and leak.

Many scrap yards accept the bar and chain as metal, but they are sharp and can be rejected if not secured.

If your bar or chain is worn and you are replacing it instead of scrapping, match the replacement to your setup (for example, a 14-inch bar like the guide bar 140SDEA041 or a 14-inch chain like the chain 91PX052G).

Gas chainsaws can leak gasoline and bar oil during transport. The owner’s manual also stresses safe operation and handling practices (including wiping up spills), which helps prevent fire risk and injuries while you’re preparing the saw for disposal.

For the Craftsman 358353690 gas chainsaw, the serial number is printed on the starting instructions decal; the model and serial number are typically found under the handle. Once you have that serial number, you can use it to identify the exact production run when ordering parts or checking documentation.

Check these common spots on the saw:

• Under the handle (the manual notes the model number is found there with the serial number)
• On the starting instructions decal (the manual calls this out as the location for both numbers)
• Near the oil fill cap (common placement on many chainsaws)
• On the bar side of the saw, under/near the handle area (common placement)

If the decal is dirty or oil-soaked, wipe it with a rag and a small amount of degreaser, then dry it so the numbers are readable.

A chainsaw serial number is mainly used to match the correct parts list and documentation for your exact unit.

Small design changes can happen across production runs; having the serial number handy helps ensure you get the right chainsaw parts (fuel system parts, bar and chain components, and clutch drive parts) the first time.

If you are looking up the serial number because you need parts, these are common wear items for this model:

• Fuel line 530069216 (fuel delivery issues, cracked line)
• Gas cap 530014347 (leaks, damaged seal)
• Guide bar 140SDEA041 (bar wear, damage)
• Chain 91PX056G or chain 91PX052G (dull, stretched, damaged chain)

For diagrams, safety labels, and identification details, use the owner's manual.

For the Craftsman 358353690 gas chainsaw, the best fuel mix is the ratio listed in the owner's manual. In general, 50:1 runs cleaner and is common on many newer saws, while 40:1 adds more oil for extra lubrication but can smoke more and foul plugs.

Both ratios are gasoline-to-2-cycle oil. The lower the second number, the more oil is in the mix.

• 50:1: less oil, cleaner exhaust, less carbon buildup
• 40:1: more oil, more lubrication, more smoke and deposits
• Wrong ratio: can cause hard starting, poor performance, and faster wear

Use the exact ratio and oil type specified for your saw in the owner's manual. That spec is the target for carburetor tuning, lubrication, and long-term engine life.

If you have been running the wrong mix:

• Drain the fuel tank safely and dispose of old fuel properly
• Mix a fresh batch using the correct ratio and quality 2-cycle (air-cooled) oil
• Start the saw and let it warm up; performance often improves after a few minutes
• If it still runs lean, surges, or stalls, inspect the fuel system for air leaks
• Replace cracked or soft fuel tubing with the correct fuel line 530069216

A 2-cycle engine depends on oil in the fuel for crankshaft and cylinder lubrication. Too little oil increases heat and wear; too much oil increases carbon buildup that can affect the spark plug and muffler screen.
