I see now, the panel work is different, same era I think though? My friend's father has a VAC. Think it runs on petrol paraffin, could be wrong or was that the super major.. I dunno.

Huztle MS361 with a 49mm topend, mild porting and matching and muffler mod.
This is my first Chinese saw build. Some parts are missing from the kit. I am waiting on Huztl to send them.
Quality if awesome in some areas and marginal in others. The chain tensioner is notchy and yucky.
For this build, i decided to run genuine Stihl,
Main bearings
Main seals
Small end bearing
Fuel line.
Hopefully it runs good.

its been a while since I took pics of a saw build in progress. I bolted up the cases and top end on this one last night. Still needs seals, carb kit, intake gaskets, but everything else is just waiting to go back together.
Quite a bit of chain scuff on the right hand case, but its all hidden under the clutch cover and the case isn't compromised so I'm not worried.
The tank looks good, was holding oil/some gas residue no problem so I don't think it leaks. Installed a grommet and tygon for fuel line so that I didn't have to buy a molded line.

A few more pictures. Put the top end on with a thinner base gasket and some motoseal, squish is right around .025" The muffler got dented at some point but its not too bad.
Top end and fuel tank installed.
You can see the muffler dents in this pic
Put the handlebar and spike on too.

Ended up putting on the covers to see what the saw would look like when it was finished.
All the cases and covers were stripped down, sand blasted, primed and painted with plastikote "gasoline resistant" engine enamel. I've had good luck with it once its been dried for a couple weeks.
The cases had been welded by someone previously, but they did a good job, quite a bit of porosity though. you can see the clutch cover by the bar studs has been welded.
looks kind of naked without the decal on the starter housing, but I couldn't find one for a 280S
Has anyone got a trick for reinstalling the carb and throttle. It was a pain to take apart. Hoping it goes back together more easily.
I'd also love to get a full wrap handle for this, but I don't know if one from a 480 would fit. I assume so.
Also how do you guys keep the underside of the tank on these from getting destroyed? I am thinking of epoxying some rubber strips on so that it sits on them when its on the ground.

What's on my bench? D@mn good question. I've been in Poland for work for almost 2 weeks; forgot what was on it when I left.
Get home later today, and have 8 days before I have to be back at work, so I can assure you there will be a LOT on my bench during that time period! I have a Jonsered 601 without spark, a few saws that I'm trading with other folks to get ready to ship, an 038 Magnum rebuild (modded muffler and gasket delete) that needs to go back together, 10 Jonsered XF's that need triage (compression test, check for spark, basic cleanup, etc), several 051's that are getting 075/076 P&C's, a few Husky MS90's that need triage, a Jonsered XB, an XG, and a few XD's that will need a cleanup, some Homey's that I need to sell, etc, etc, etc.

Very nice!!

I've got a couple of Echo saws to put top ends in, a 6700 and an 8000, seems they both got burned up by the same guy, guess he never learned how to mix fuel...
On my bench today? SXL Auto for recoil clean/rebuild and new cord, along with a carb rebuild and new fuel lines.
Got the parts for the 6700 so now it's together and running..I always though the Echo saws were hard to work on but this one was fairly easy. Now on to the 8000...

NOTHING.
I spent the better part of the weekend cleaning the garage. For the first time since the spring, the surface of the work bench has space on it to actually do some work.
My PP3516 is going to occupy some of the bench shortly as I get the new drive stuff installed.
After that...???

Got 6 or 7 saws to be worked on, My Husqvarna 372 needing about everything, Roper 3.7 fuel lines, and 5 customer saws 020,310,028,041 and a Dolmar 510. I'm gonna continue to work until it gets a little colder then I'm gonna take it easy for awhile. 63 degrees today, not bad..
041 today. To start with I'll see if it has any spark. Didn't know some of these have points.
