Friend of mine just picked up an older 036 Pro. I didnt realize they are 62cc (as is an MS360) and the 361/362 are 59cc. Is there a big difference performance wise on these vs. the 361/362? Knowing him he'll grow tired of it and ill end up buying it eventually. He replaced rubber and cleaned it up plus a new B&C.
I have two 036 Stihl saws. They were just ok until and did a good muffler mod on them. Then they ran really good. I am not real familiar with the 361 or 362 but I do like my 036's and they will cut with anything else I have in that cc range after the muff mod on them and that is with the spark arrestor in place.
I like the 036's I have over dad's 361 I now have. I have one I use for cutting and 1 is a retirement fund saw. 1 of the 2 in the picture was traded in when I bought the 462.
