Glad to see you getting her together!!!!

Now we get to the hard part for me. Putting the tank/handle ON. We have never had one OFF!

And there are all sorts of strange bits we are not familiar with.

Tip: Use your Dremel to smooth up the end of the antivibe spring. It will 'screw' on much easier.

Now to study the IPL.......[emoji848]

Handle/tank is on.
Back to the IPL to make another list of screws.

Any tips on hooking the throttle link to the carb?

Or, do I disassemble the trigger/presence lever and work front to back. I see the handle cover snaps on.

Almost ready for first start.

Still tinkering with the on/off/choke lever. Don't want to kick off choke properly.

Not the first Stihl to give us that problem.

Leftover stuff.

IDK where it goes.

I know that the two identical black clips are basically a plug that blocks the holes for the mounting screws on the muffler.

The rubber washer left over looks like it goes under the screw that holds the top cover on (cylinder cover).

Thanks bud.
They will prolly fall out in short order.

I thought maybe but wasn't sure. Hole is too big.

Issue with the bar plate dragging on the chain rivits prevents us from start up. That and the control lever stupidness.

The lever won't come all the way off choke unless the trigger is squeezed. That's a bit different than what I'm used to from Stihl. It threw me for a loop when I was messing with the handle.

I'm pretty sure the rubber piece on the right is for summer ,winter use .it goes to the to right of the carb. on the tank housing I believe.

This one goes back to full choke when I squeeze the trigger.

Maybe I expect it to do different?

Something is backwards...

Something going on with the 'toe' part of the arm that contacts the trigger. It hang up.

A picture of a standard Stihl part would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know about the AM parts, but I know they are still in on my dads new MS271. Now it is still breaking in since he bought it and it hasn't seen much use since bought. But it has had some hard use since it was bought. I personally don't see the reasoning for them, except for maybe warranty purposes on a new Stihl. Told dad that I want to do a muffler mod on his saw, but it won't be till it is out of warranty. Still has like a year and 9 months of warranty left on it.

Ordered a 'switch shaft' #1135 182 0900 from my local dealer. $6.81. If anything just to compare it to the Farmertec item.
Fired it up sans air filter junk.

Ran him 15 minutes and a few light cuts. Trying to ballpark the carb.

We need to do something with the muffler as he sounds too much like a leaf blower.

361 mufflers are very choked up and desperately need modded.
