So it is a fake. Has anyone used one of these fakes to see how they stack up against the real thing?

Thanks guys for an interesting as well as enlightening Read.
I've been inside some of the fakes- mostly the Husqvarnas. When I was still at the dealership we had a few of the Chinese 365s roll in. The quality was so low, and tolerances so sloppy, that the service life was about 10-12 tanks. You could wiggle the throttle shaft back and forth in the new carburetor. A couple had pistons that fit so loose in the bore that you could rock them back and forth with a pick. One had a piston that was so tight you could barely pull it over.
I tried to at the local STIHL shop, and they laughed and said they were long gone.Hey, you want to buy a new 361 chainsaw?
@windthrown, your slacking... your buddy brush ape is here.I must say it looks real at a glance.
Yeah, they've replaced that with another number I'm sure. I have a 361 here that looks to be 25 years old. I'll probably use it to prop up something or maybe prop the door open in Summer..I tried to at the local STIHL shop, and they laughed and said they were long gone.
