I just bought a stihl ms361 from 2008. Now i'm looking for a service manual and a parts list. Can someone help me out please?

Doesn't the ms440 has better anti-vibration than the 044?

Don't worry, If you can sell a saw you don't have CAD. :-)

I think your a smart man to control the got-to-have-it-now urge like that. Looks like time is on your side.

Why file it down and not bend it?

One thing that helped me out the most was to get the workshop manual for my (Stihl) saws. Lots of info in it.

I installed the carb kit and it looks better. But the real test will be when i put it away for a while and start it then. I must correct one thing i said in my previous post: E5 gas here in Europe contains a maximum of 5% ethanol. And there is ethanol free gas to be had at most bigger gas...

Personally i'm more addicted to my 35cc ms200. Enough power/chainspeed to do some serious damage and light enough to swing around all day for a small guy like me. But hey everyone his own way. Enjoy the 50cc's

I would never buy this unless i could have a good look at it in front of me beforehand. I learned this the hard way

I did a VAC test and no leak. E5 is 5% ethanol. I have never seen ethanol free gas here in the Netherlands at the gas stations but then i never really looked for it either. I also cleaned the adjustment screws inserts with carb cleaner as some of you suggested. I will know more when i...

No air leak on the housing but i found a leak at the bottom carb seal. Not sure if this caused the problems with the settings but i will order a carb kit to fix it anyway.

I can't say that i never use mixed fuel that is a few months old, but my other Stihls don't seem to mind.

I allways run it dry to get the fuel from the carb before storing. I will do a pressure test tomorrow on the 039 just in case. Can you just take out the adjusting screws and spray with carb cleaner? I never done that before when cleaning a carb...

Today i grabbed my Stihl 039 from storage to do some cutting. The saw started fine and runs ok but after it warmed up the idle was way to fast. I had to turn the idle screw back at least 2 full turns. I'm really sure when i put it away a couple months ago that it was tuned perfect. I store my...

That was easy lone wolf! I turned back the H screw 1 full turn instead of 3/4 and the saw was fine after that. Maybe just a tiny little bit rich on WOT but hey, it's not a production saw. Funny that it says 3/4 back on the saw. Why? I'm happy with my old 200t up and running again! Thanks...

Fuel filter was replaced with the new fuel line, but i will check just in case tomorrow.

Will try that first thing tomorrow.

Today i got the saw back together. I did a vacuum and pressure test before starting it up which was ok. Compression test also looked fine. When i started it up it looked ok but i ran into some problems with the accelleration and idling. I resetted the carb H screw to the standard 3/4 turn back...

That is a nice suprise. Thank you PogoInTheWoods. I thought the cylinder would be toast by now. Ok than, the piston kit is on it's way from the UK. I will report back when i have the saw in one piece again or if i'm running into more problems.

I'm afraid i f*cked it up. I first tried with scotchbride, fine grid sanding paper and some wd40. Not everything would clean up. So i went for the Muriatic acid (<10%) real carefull. Just let it bubble for a minute and then neutralize it with baking soda. After three times almost everything on...
