I'm back! Did somebody say 361?

TBH there is no such thing as a 10.8# bucking saw.

Believe it or not a 455 rancher will out cut a stock 346XP and is better on fuel.. Can't speak to the 550

Certainly my vote goes to a ported 346XP NE but I am partial. I have run the snot out of this saw and it's a pocket rocket with a 16" bar and 3/8.

"You're not gonna' pay a lot for that muffler!"

Hommie home hot rodder strikes again. Beat the bearings right out of it when it got warm. She ran like a raped ape with .010 squish.

That's a nice looking saw.

It's not only red, it's a great 20" bucking saw.

and if it weighed 2# less I would not have a problem with it.

Or maybe not considering the powerhead only weights 14.5# and is an overweight, underpowered saw that you can swing a 20" bar on to cut at a moderate pace. Again I am not impressed with the power or the weight. It has enough torque for a 20" bar but peak HP is lackluster and will tire you, me...

There was a time around this place when the answer to every saw equation was a MS361. Now it seems they are considered close to useless in favor or smaller and larger saws. My how times change. My point I have been trying to make is it takes less strength and stamina in the long run bucking...

I find them to be overweight, under powered, mediocre saws at best.

A stock 60cc. saw does not rip through a 20" log. It's a laborious task for a stock 50cc. saw.

It's the Tanaka mount. Same as my Red Man G621. https://www.sawsuppliers.com/products/bar-adapter-d025-3003-to-d176-allows-echo-saw-to-run-stihl-bar-chain

Even my ported 346XP NE is an inferior choice for bucking big wood compared to my 60cc saws. When bucking the weight of a 60cc saw becomes insignificant compared to a 50cc saw so the time factor alone is the trump card.

If the saw is racing at idle you need to turn the L screw out, not in.

The way I start my 6400/7900 is full choke until it pops. Then open the choke by pushing the lever all the way in. Pull until it starts on high idle. Once it's running blip the throttle to release the high idle. First time I even heard anybody call a 14 1/2# saw light.

Congrats, those are great saws.

lol!
