You ever seen the insides of a stock 361 muffler? It's criminal what they did to that saw I tell ya...... http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/threads/ms361-muffler-turned-inside-out.7380/
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.
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!!
Any time. I will do more as I go. Thats what seems to work for me. Maybe better I'm always open to hear others numbers. I love learning. Lol. And experimenting
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.
