    It's a 361... Unfortunately it doesn't run. The guy just put a brand new oem handle, coil and brake flag on it. Then melted the piston.

    He bought a aftermarket cylinder kit and bolted it on and couldn't get it to ever run again... Took it apart three times and can't figure out what's wrong.

    I paid $100 for it. More then I'd usually pay for a project but it's complete with lots of new parts and no cracks or breaks.

    Filter cover on the 360 is a bit different and the decomp would be dead center. 361 it is. :)

    I was thinking they made a plain 360 maybe. I have a 360 Pro so I'm familiar with that having the decomp.

    Oh you mean one like this!

    anchor.jpg


    My neighbor gave it to me in exchange for some wood this winter. I'd have given him the wood for free but he insisted on giving me something in exchange for it. Figured I'd use it on that Boston Whaler I'm restoring.

    $100 for a compete 361 with lots of parts..??

    That's still a great deal.. The 361 is a machine that lacks torque. Not bad, but the 360 would be my choice over the 361. Just because the 361 weighs more anyways ;)

    I figure I bought the aftermarket cylinder kit and got the saw for free :)

    It probably won't stick around for long once I get it running. I was never impressed with the oem 361 I had. But I'll play with this one for a while and use the profits to buy something better.

    Win some, lose some


    Went from hoping it needed a little carb work for an easy $2oo-250 profit to maybe I'll break even after a full rebuild.

    The cylinder isn't as bad - - a couple corresponding grooves above the upper transfers. Might be able to be saved by raising the transfers?? The grooves probably go too high though.

    My guess is there was something left in the crankcase when he rebuilt it. The clips are still there.

    The story I got was that he rebuilt and had lost and forgot to put the wrist pin bearing on. Didn't sound right when he pulled it over. Without running the saw (supposedly) he got a new bearing and put it in and couldn't get the saw to ever run. I don't know if the lack of a bearing could have caused this or not?
