I have a lot going on, so it will be a few days before I can start getting into it.

LOL, I can relate so much that it isn't even funny...
 
Unboxing!! I'm pointing out what I think sucks, if it looks fine I moved on. I'll come back to things as the build goes.

Air filter...throw it away, mine came pre cut. I'll email them about this.

Stihl really made a muffler like this? I've seen this style on poulans, exhaust port is out the back and the deflector redirects it back out front. Not a fan of it being stuck together.

Paint chips all over the case halves.

The chamfer is crap on some ports and the floor of the intake is sharp as a knife. Couldn't get a good pic of that though.

Lots of pieces and I've never worked on a 361, so I'll figure out what I'm missing as I go.

Having handled real stihl cranks/piston/cylinder it's hard to not notice how cheap this all feels. Don't care though, it's going together as is, if it dies it dies. Why? I think we have a come up with a bunch of ways to boost the reliability, I wanna see how reliable they are stock.

So is this like a 361 kit assembled fromChinese knock off parts?
 
It's a whole kit, don't think it has a bar and chain or maybe it does. They also have other saws like a 372 Husqvarna and a couple of more Stihls.

It's power head only. The husky kit is the 365, but you can bump it to 372 by buying an additional cylinder kit.
