The MS341 I've got is second hand... not had much love... but just seems to hang there... So I'm half way through giving it a carb service, pressure/vac test (passed with flying colours), new muffler (old one was all cracked and rusted).

I've also managed to "remove" those silly limiter caps from the carby... since before fitting the new shiny muffler I've gutted the insides as best I could with a pillar drill and file... and opened the outlet out a little.

No, it's got exactly same CC. It's just very slightly less tuned... but still awesome saw! Wears a 20" bar no probs. There are only a couple of different parts between 341 and 361. I think the 361 has closed transfers, but 341 has open ones. I did a ms460r oil pump upgrade a few years back on it... and yeah it rocks!Is the ms 341 a smaller cc version of the ms 361?
Nice saw and nice Grand National, by the way....
I'd love to know how that is done! Got any good links to sites of reference?made a .015" popup piston

Ok here's the 2100 now. I have a new flywheel to install. I rebuilt the carb. And it needs a new piston.

Paint job looks good, unfortunately, gas and spray paint don't play well together.Ok... I went kind of masochistic for the last fortnight with the MS341. Yeah the rotor rope could've done with changing, and then I thought "Ok lets just tart up that rewind cover with ~7 coats of white hammerite, and change the badge for new"... Very vain, I know, and my wife is moaning at me saying "But now it just shows up how messy the rest of it is"... Anyway quit talking.. here's a couple of pics

Exciting stuff, eh?
After stripping out the cover, meticulous cleaning etc. then spray painting... the fun task of putting the spring back in We should have filmed this, I guess, cos the manual was useless, got bored searching youtube... and so kinda winged it with the cover down, a very small screw driver pegging the spring end loop, and then I used the rotor itself to turn the spring tighter. Interesting part being when you gotta hold it together and get the rotor+spring in the recess, and persuade the loop to go back in it's groove etc....without everything exploding back again...
Tada!!!

And now back to full glory... and maybe I *might* actually use it to cut some wood later
