    Sorry. Was supposed to say I decrimped the muffler. I heat the crimp up with a torch and use a straight screw driver to pry open the crimp.

    It should be illegal what Stihl does on a stock 361 muffler.

    Very detailed thread.

    I would love to do my own saws.. Till I do (never), I will leave to people like you, Terry, Randy, Brad, Scott K, Ed Heard, etc (You could go for days).

    Nice pics. Thanks for sharing!! :thumbs:

    Nice work, man. 361s continue to be a favorite around here and almost never show up to our shop as a trade-in (unfortunately for saw vultures like me haha). Between tree services and firewood guys looking for more production, I'm sure anyone that builds up a mean 361 will have a full work bench each year.

    Nice stuff. I've got a stock 361 and wondered why I hadn't seen much info on these getting worked over. It seems most port 70cc+.

    Someday, it just might become my first ported saw.

    IMO the 60cc class saw is one of the best for most wood cutters. It coupled with a lighter limbing saw is all that most will ever need. Take this saw for instance. This is my 066. Original bar and chain. That's how much it gets used.

    Yep, I agree. I have a 192t for limbing, the 361, and an 066 for the big chit. Like you, the 066 never gets used. It's been a year and a half if I remember right.

    I've had few dealings with the 361 till a neighbor brought his over for a small mod...
    I was pretty impressed with it...
    Not bad rigs at all..
    They run more like a husky...
    Ha!
    Clean work there millermod..

    Several call them a stihlavarna! Lmao. Holar at me when you have another playtime down your way and hopefully I can at least ship you a couple saws to play with. Wanted to come to the Nov one pretty bad.
