Thank you. I had a feeling that there was an upgrade made at some time. So, I must have had 3 clutches that were intended for the older style, or non clutch washer application.

Hi, I recently went over a bunch of Ms 260's. No problems building them, etc... I have done it many times. But, I took a pile of leftover parts and put a really old model together. This one wouldn't be one that would sell easy, so it's a gift to a family member. Cases didn't have hole in...

I just sold 4 of those old drill head attachments that fit on the 031 032 and the 024/026/028 series saws. They were new old stock left over from the shop I bought out. They were made by the atom company, but they weren't green, they were orange, and had the stihl logo on em. Pretty cool...

Ryan, I started in a similar way to you. Except, I am very mechanically inclined, and can do all repairs myself. But, when I am out making money doing tree service, a mechanic in the pocket is like gold. Make good friends with a good truck mechanic. There are specialists in the Arial lift...

High plains, Someone had mentioned the Ms 361 rebuilt on the trading post. I am the one selling them, I have 2. I also have another Ms 260 for sale. But I am not here to sell you one of my saws. I would be more than happy to send you pics and videos of them running if you p.m me with your...

I read through this post, and I wanted to suggest one other thing on top of the impulse line, and fuel line and filter. Pop the carb off and make sure the intake flanges were put back in. If a dealer rebuilt the carb, I have seen once or twice that someone had said they put a kit in the...

I need to edit the saw number 2, There is no such thing as a sake piston. It is an Oem piston. Al, the parts on both saws are Oem. Auto correct is the worst pia here is. I am sorry for the mistake.

Hey, You must have received that case half right? Everything good?

Yeah, I didn't think it was 038, I looked at the micro fiche for quite a while. Also match it to the one I once had and it didn't look right at all. This is a stumper for me. It really looks like a stihl cover, but I can't find an s or even a prefix number. I tried to match it up with many...

Guys, there's got to be someone out there who can identify this: I bought out the inventory of a stihl shop a few years ago. The shop had been around since 1969, and had a ton of old stuff. I worked there as a tech the last few years it was around, and got to look at all the microfiche on...

Bweiser, Your question wasn't dumb at all. When I was working at stihl for a little while, there were 2 causes to top end failure I saw all the time. First one was of course straight gas running, because the customer wasn't explained to about mixing fuel with oil, and thought the bar and chain...

I am all set Brett thank you

I can't figure out how to upload them on the site, like I had written. I have okenty of pics for those that are interested in the saw.

I have finished 2 Stihl Ms 361's. I'll give you a rundown of them quick: Saw number 1: Tore it down, power washed, then cleaned with degreaser. You'll see when you see the pics, it got very clean! Split the cases, replaced bearings. Crank was fine. Bearings weren't bad either, but I had...

Did you find your muffler and crankcase half? I just cleaned the 441's I have to fix, and I will have parts when I am through. I am going away for a few weeks, but if you can wait till near End of month, I probably have what you need.

I just wanted to see if you figured out your adjustment issues.... did ya get it?

Did you find your crankcase half yet? I have one if you still need one. Just the clutch side.

I live in mass.

Drf255 is right, the air filter needs to have the compensating part on the bottom for that to work right, and the air filter cover is larger to accommodate the size than the 034 was. Looks like it's an 036 tank, judging by the tank vent. Also, to make the right adjustments, you need to take...

All the above advice is really good advice. I know I can't get a saw adjusted until it starts getting into the wood. I usually start with factory one turn on each, and yes, absolutely turn the idle up a little, like said, so it doesn't continually stall which happens sometimes. Get her warmed...
