Ms 361

Only polishin' here is with compressed air! My junk gets a good cleaning with the air hose that's all.
For reference, my 346 gained just a tic over 40% cut speed with the same chain, same log (ECsaws ported that one).

I have polished a few ports dall...

 

hows the knee doing ?

 

Still raw. Getting better tho.
Have you ever timed cuts to measure gains? If I remember right, Dan got a little under 35% from my 357. The others I never timed before sending. MikeLee completely transformed the 365sp. That's one I wish I had a number on.

 

what stumpshot is doing with my other 261 now lol
lol usually just rebuild and send away but that 261 was mint when i bought it and never fueled it before sending to steve

 

Most saws I do gain between 25-40% in cut speed. That 036 a few posts back turned out pretty good

 

for some reason i can only go back a few videos on peoples channels or id shown the 361 videos

 

Love my 361.

 

Can anyone tell me the difference between brake horsepower that Stihl uses and regular old horsepower?
Online searches offer no explanation besides it’s different. Ok I’ll admit it wasn’t an exhaustive search.

 

I think there's a down arrow that says "more". I've noticed the same thing til I saw the arrow.

The 361 isn't really a fair comparison anyway. 066 carb, no air filter......

 

Gotta ask. What was it you picked up in your hand? A phone or is there some tach meter that reads rpm by electrical voodoo?
Because if there’s some voodoo tach meter I want one. LOL

 

Look at ebay for "tiny tach" or "works connection"

 

I will, thanks.
Easy assumption your “the” Kevin. Just how busy are you? Hehehe
No rush, still toying with the idea. I fully realize that first step could open the flood gates into financial insolvency

 

Here's mine.

I wouldn't buy a cheaper one than this. I've had it for a few years and it works fine. All you have to do is get the wire close to the spark plug and it reads. Or you can mount it permanently to the saw.
Yep I'm the same Kevin. Send me a pm if you'd like and we'll talk

 

that wasnt me thats stumpshot i think he has a pet304 tach
i have a dti tiny tach

 

it happens when i am on computer

 

361 is a great firewood saw. Not sure what you're old saw was, but this one will probably feel pretty fast. Personally, I wouldn't get it ported until it doesn't feel fast anymore.

 

lol never get done then lol

 

I had a 361 several years ago. It felt like a rocket for the first couple years compared to my old 031AV. Then I got used to it.

 

Here's a little video Tree Monkey made of my MS361 after he porting. It was a very good saw stock (nice power/weight for most bucking work) but after porting it is truly amazing.

 

I cannot comment on his powerhead mods, but he is for sure "good people." He helped me out in a pinch recently, no question asked. I hope I can repay the favor sooner-than-later.
