Leakage Test - Stihl MS 362 Manual

12.5.1 Leakage Test

In the case of problems with the
carburetor or fuel supply system,
also check and clean or replace the
tank vent, b 12.10
The carburetor can be tested for
leaks with the pump 0000 850 1300.
– Remove the filter base, b 12.3

– Push the pressure hose of pump
0000 850 1300 onto the nipple.
: Push the ring (1) to the right and
pump air into the carburetor until
the pressure gauge (2) indicates
a pressure of about 0.8 bar
(80 kPa).
If this pressure remains constant,
the carburetor is airtight. However, if
it drops, there are three possible
causes:
1. The inlet needle is not sealing
(foreign matter in valve seat,
sealing cone of inlet needle
is damaged or
inlet control lever is sticking),
remove to clean,
b 12.6.2 or b 12.6.2
2. Metering diaphragm or gasket
damaged, replace if necessary,
b 12.6.1 or b 12.10.1
3. Pump diaphragm or
gasket damaged, replace
if necessary, b 12.6.3 or
b 12.10.1
– After completing the test, push
the ring (1) to the left to vent the
system and then pull the fuel
hose off the carburetor.
– Install the filter base, b 12.3
– Tightening torques, b 2.5
– Reassemble all other parts in the
reverse sequence.
12.6 Servicing the Carburetor
12.6.1 Metering Diaphragm
1
– Troubleshooting, b 3.6
– Remove the carburetor, b 12.5
: Take out the screws (arrows).
– Remove the end cover (1).
If the gasket and diaphragm are
stuck to the carburetor, remove
them very carefully.
2 1
: Carefully separate the metering
diaphragm (1) and gasket (2).
The diaphragm material is
subjected to continuous alternating
stresses and eventually shows
signs of fatigue, i.e. the diaphragm
distorts and swells and has to be
replaced.
– Check the metering diaphragm
for signs of damage and wear.
Install a new gasket.
