You just got to love the MS361

[Cut4fun]

The 361 was a great stock saw in my hands and really hold there value well, but didn't really have a need for it. So I sold the 361 and used the money to purchase a used 372/375 to run in the woods ported gtg's. Still haven't made any timed cuts compared to my woods ported 7900. But I have a really good feeling about the times, just making some cuts in ash.

This is just what I was talking about earlier, how the price of the 361 is right there with the price of the 372's new and used. I guess you can see where my choice went to and yes I chose to go with the taller HD air filter cover and the HD filter for my uses.

Well, let's see the ole humpback

That must be a race saw? I don't see why any work saw would have a muffler port like that....

You got alot to learn still, guys have been doing that muffler mod to stock saws too. To 357,359,365,372 etc.

woods ported WORK saw 2000K, all my saws are like that one way or another to let them breath and run cooler.

Even the 066,084, 357,7900, etc, even the stock 361 was opened up in the front 2000K. Gets the heat out quick.

Well cut I tell ya what. Use those saws for something other than cutting cookies and you will see what I'm referring to. Stick a bar bigger than a 16" on that 372 and put it in some decent sized wood. Keep it in the cut for a awhile and tell me if the log burns, not a good situation! That is why all ports are angled on work saws, for a reason.

When is the last time you cut 3 cords of wood? Did one cord burn up???

 

[Cut4fun]

I guess you missed it when I was ripping 46" dried maple with a 32" on the 7900 this year with the bar buried.

Such muffler mods have been used a lot, with no ill effects that I know of (well, maybe one case of slightly burned bark) - but I wouldn't recommend it under dry conditions, if you dog in and make a "fan" cut.......opcorn:

Whoa buddy, don't have a heart attack!

I didn't go after any of your saws. All I did was ask if that muffler mod was proper for a work saw. Where does that "spoiled one" stuff come from? I have a good job and work just like everyone else.....

They are used alot, I agree. It's just not well suited for a work saw......Let the right man see it and kiss your azz goodbye.
