    I'd run the 362 as is before doing anything drastic. I love my 261.

    They are underwhelming for about the first 6 tanks of gas, but get pretty sporty after that.

    My question is why spend the extra money foe an auto tune and then strip that away to add even more money on parts. I would do the customer a favor and point him to a saw that fits his needs better. A lot of great non AT saws out there.

    Dolmar :whistle: cough cough. 6100 cough cough :whistle:

    Makes sense. I've had two MS362s (very early models with the non-HD filters) and they were both very impressive saws to run. Of course they were both well used when I got them, so way past broken in.

    You never know, maybe he got a really good deal on a used CM and thought (hoped) it was a simple & cheap carb swap. :makeitrain"

    Ya I guess some one may had traded a cm on a 6100. That makes total sense.
    Ok I done my portfolio stirring for the night. Have fun all.
