Craftsman 358351062 chainsaw Parts

For the Craftsman 358351062 gas chainsaw, we use fresh unleaded gasoline mixed with high-quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil at a 40:1 ratio (3.2 oz of 2-cycle oil per 1 gallon of gas). Follow the fuel-mix directions in the 358351062 owner's manual.

Use this mix every time you refuel:

• Use unleaded gasoline (fresh, clean fuel)
• Mix with 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil (Craftsman oil is recommended)
• Mix at 40:1
• Do not use automotive oil or boat oil (these can damage the engine)
• Mix fuel in an approved fuel container before filling the tank

This model uses a separate bar oil tank for chain lubrication. We fill the bar oil tank whenever we fill the fuel tank.

• Use Craftsman chainsaw bar oil when available
• SAE 30 oil is an acceptable short-term substitute
• Expect about one tank of bar oil per tank of fuel mix

A correct 40:1 fuel mixture keeps the 2-cycle engine properly lubricated, helps it start easier, and reduces rough running and premature wear. Using the wrong oil type or ratio is a common cause of poor performance.

On the Craftsman gas chainsaw model 358351062, the model number is printed on the product identification label on the saw body. We most often see it on the side of the engine housing or on the rear or underside of the saw, depending on how the unit is oriented.

Check these common label locations first:

• Side of the engine/motor housing (near the starter cover area)
• Rear handle area (back side of the saw)
• Underside of the saw body (bottom of the crankcase area)
• Near the bar mounting studs or clutch cover area (label may be nearby)
• On a sticker or metal tag that also lists safety and emissions information

The ID label typically includes the brand and model, and may also include bar length information.

Using the exact model number helps us match the correct parts diagrams and parts (like a fuel line, carburetor kit, or chain brake assembly) so you do not end up with a similar-looking part that will not fit.

• Wipe the area with a damp rag and mild detergent
• Use a flashlight at an angle to read faded printing
• Take a close-up photo and zoom in to confirm the digits

For model-specific identification details and the official model listing, use the 358351062 owner's manual.

For the Craftsman chainsaw model 358351062, 40:1 is the correct fuel mix. The manual specifies mixing 3.2 oz of 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil per 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline (40:1). Using 50:1 in a saw designed for 40:1 reduces lubrication and can accelerate engine wear.

Follow the fuel and oil guidance in the 358351062 owner's manual. For this model, we recommend:

• Unleaded gasoline mixed with 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil
• 40:1 ratio (3.2 oz oil per 1 gallon gas)
• Freshly mixed fuel (do not store mixed fuel for long periods)
• No automotive oil and no marine outboard oil
• Fill bar and chain oil whenever you fill the fuel tank

The fuel-to-oil ratio controls how much lubrication the piston, rings, crank bearings, and cylinder get. On a 2-cycle engine like the Craftsman 358351062, the oil in the fuel is the engine’s lubrication system, so the correct ratio directly affects starting, power, and long-term durability.

Fuel mix oil is not the same as bar and chain oil. This model uses a separate bar oil tank; the manual notes the saw typically uses about one tank of bar oil per tank of fuel. If you suspect poor chain lubrication, check the oiling system components such as the pump kit 530071259 and the chainsaw oil pick-up elbow 530049477.

Older chainsaws are worth money when they are desirable to collectors or still useful as reliable “runner” saws; value depends most on brand/model demand, condition, and completeness. For Craftsman model 358351062, a clean, complete saw that starts and oils the bar typically brings far more than a non-running unit.

Collectors and buyers pay more when the saw is both authentic and easy to put back into service.

• Runs well and idles cleanly (no bogging, no stalling)
• Complete and unmodified (correct covers, handles, fasteners, decals)
• Good bar and chain setup (straight bar, correct chain type, no severe rail wear)
• No major case damage (cracks near mounts, stripped threads)
• Good compression and spark (strong pull resistance, consistent ignition)
• Fuel system is intact (no cracked lines, no leaking tank/cap)

These ranges are general for older homeowner gas chainsaws; local demand and seasonality can shift pricing.

Your Craftsman 358351062 is a 2-cycle gas chainsaw that originally shipped with a 16-inch bar (the manual also lists a related 14-inch-bar model). Keeping the correct bar length and a properly tensioned chain helps preserve value and buyer confidence; see the 358351062 owner's manual for chain installation and tension guidance.

If you are selling, addressing common “won’t run” issues can move a saw up a tier.

• Replace cracked fuel line such as ayp lawn & garden equipment fuel line, large 530069216
• Rebuild or replace the carburetor using carburetor repair kit 530069826 or carburetor kit 545081885
• Fix bar oiling problems by servicing the oiler with pump kit 530071259 and checking the pickup path
• Verify the chain brake works and is complete (safety and buyer trust)

Old chainsaws are priced less like “age-based antiques” and more like working power tools; a saw that starts easily, cuts safely, and does not leak fuel or oil is the one that consistently commands the best money.

Today, Craftsman is a brand owned by Stanley Black & Decker; Craftsman chainsaws are typically built by an outside manufacturer under contract, so the exact maker can vary by model and production run. For your Craftsman model 358351062, use the 358351062 owner's manual to match parts and service procedures to the correct platform.

For chainsaws, the most important thing is the model number, not the logo on the cover. Craftsman has used multiple manufacturing partners over the years, and parts like the carburetor, fuel system, and ignition module can differ even between similar-looking saws.

• Always identify the saw by 358351062 when ordering parts.
• Use the illustrated parts breakdown in the manual to confirm assemblies.
• Match wear items by spec (bar length, chain type) and by model fit.
• Avoid “universal” fuel lines or caps unless the listing confirms model fit.
• If the saw runs poorly after storage, focus first on fuel quality and the carburetor.

Your manual covers two closely related versions; the difference is the guide bar length.

Knowing the current brand owner does not guarantee parts interchange. Correct fit depends on the exact Craftsman model platform, which drives compatibility for the fuel system, clutch, chain brake, and oiling system.

If you are troubleshooting fuel delivery or leaks on model 358351062, these model-matched parts are common starting points:

• Ayp lawn & garden equipment fuel line, large 530069216 (fuel pickup and return routing)
• Fuel tank cap 580940901 (tank sealing and venting)
• Carburetor kit 545081885 (hard starting, surging, lean running)

For step-by-step repair guidance, use how to replace chainsaw fuel lines.
