Don’t spill the oil, if it happens, clean it right away,
I always carry a few sheets of paper in case I get kidnapped
and they have no paper, or I need to clean oil off the saw.
Though I think your on to something there, just look how well
the oil keeps the dust at bay.

I have probably hot high pressure washed 150 saws, plug the exhaust and bag the carb. Not a clue on the electronic newbies.

my saw gets washed every time i get caught out in the rain with it
Uh... Stiff bristle brush on something like that, Simple Green or Purple Power & a mild rinse or wipe down if it had that much junk on it at the end of the day. That’s about as far as I ever go. I also usually don’t spill nearly that much oil or ever find my gear that caked with stuff. Carrying a rag or two and just wiping things down when you fuel/oil does a good enough job to refuel.
I’ll hose down the chipper and head of the clearing saw but not chain saws.
I’ve got a plastic bristle dish brush in my kit up.
Brush off the oil and fuel cap areas bfore removing them.
A quick pass over everything keeps the caking down.
A bit of a film of oil on everything always seemed like a better than worse situation with the amount of rain I usual work in.

Simple Green and a brush for me too. I also used compressed air but am carfeul where I point the air.

Flat head and some compressed air and take the air filter off last
They all look goofy with big dawgs & a short bar. Stock vs stock that saw will eat a 440 with a 24/25/28/32. I can say for sure that rig isn’t for me, but I’m not you and not cutting the wood you cut or working like you do.
Now go out and run the piss out of it. You’re now the proud new owner of one of the best running Stihl saws ever built.

I’ll be real impressed if I can’t bog it down with a 8 pin in some 15” mesquite.
It’s honestly a lot cheaper to run a big saw and so much faster. That 361 I’m selling is enough slower in 15” that I’m not even willing to run it vs my modded 440. The modded 440 pulled a 66DL RS chain really good with a 7 pin, 8 pin and its a lot faster in 12” and under but will stall in 15” if you let it eat all it wants.

I had a ms361 for a while and loved it. I wish I hadn’t traded it but the deal was too good. I’ve been watching this thread and coincidentally watching your 361 sales thread...honestly never put them together lol. I’m just sitting there watching the worm on the hook. I wish I were closer but I’m down in SE TX.

And pretty much next day! But I just dropped that on a ms261cm...which is why I’m in this thread. If your 361 was $200 I’d be sending you money right now lol. Maybe up to $300 but I can throw down another $400 right now.

My wife doesn’t know another the ms261 yet so gotta keep it under radar
So I ran the mmws441 for 1 tank of fuel Earlier. I did the reset procedure and gave it hell. That thing is nasty. In about 12 minutes I laid down atleast 1.5 face cords. I had a new RS chain on and ran it like I stole it. I felt like I had just run 2 miles myself but dang it’s fast. I tried to video it but I cut the dang video off as I positioned the phone. I’m impressed. It will stall out in a bar full, but has much higher rpm in the cut than my modded 440. Like a lot!
I've got bigger wood than that in my drawers, turn the chain around and go cut that tree behind you.
