Very nice looking saw you got there.
It looks like the top plate on the chain is blunt. It's not a good idea to run a dull chain. It's hard on the engine, bar, and chain. You're putting a lot more heat into the engine that way. I'd hate to see you score the piston. I recommend you run a .325 chain with a 7-pin sprocket on a 16" bar. Check out the Carlton bar and chain combos at Baileys. LINK. Open up the hole in the muffler cover a little and have it tuned with a tach to 14,000 RPMs WOT.
Also, I'd skip the 361 since you have the 026. I'd step up to a 70cc saw like a MS440/044, MS441, 372XP, 7900.... I'd want more than 10cc difference between my saws if I only had two.
