Shop manual Looking for the shop/work manual for Stihl MS 361

I think the argument that the saw is running leaner is accurate if all you care about is gas to air ratio, but when there is oil substituted for gas and it runs through your cylinder, then the lubrication factor is quite high. You should only have to adjust your carb if you are running LESS...

Yeah I got one for free...so thanks anyway if you were trying to help.

oil mix Wait a minute...did I read that right ? More air in the richer mixed fuel...means it runs leaner....means more RPMs !!!!!!!!!! ?????????????????????

oil mix I am sure that most of the time it will all work out... But a little insurance goes a long way...so a little richer is better insurance than the opposite. And my saws run like a dream on 40:1 Stihl oil mix. Both milling and felling. And to note....carbon buildup in the exhaust...

MS 460 rebuild Seems like I saw a P/C for 115.00 in Baileys. Even with 1.5 hrs labor @ 70/hr...that only 105.00 in labor. New seals ... $50 ??? Total = $270 I'd say well worth it !!!!!!...and you should save more and install yourself, then get the guys at the shop to pressure check your...

illustrated parts manual MS361 Thanks..I got it in PDF. I saw the site where you can buy it...but that's ridiculous, why would anyone pay for it ?

I saw a post recently that claimed their piston scratched and I believe seized due to too much carbon build-up on the exhaust port. This due to an oil rich mixture below 40:1. Can anyone back this up ? My first impression would be that the carbon doesn't readily build up to something that...

Consider getting a pressure check before you tear it down. That way you will rule out a bad seal/air leak....crank shaft seals, carborator seal, impule line. Unfortunately this will also cost you MORE !

Exhaust port piston scratches The last post has got me interested. I would guess that this piston did not get damaged by carbon buildup.... Are you sure about this ?

Milling oil ratios I am running 40:1 milling for several years in a Husky 395 XP and a Stihl MS660. But I got to say I can't imagine you would be doing something bad running 36:1. In fact I may just do that starting tomorrow ! Please don't run 50:1 and burn up your saw. I mean you could do...

Looking for the MS 361 illustarted parts diagram... anyone got it ?

Hey welcome to the wonderful world of taking your life into your own hands and giving the MAN the bird ! I have a shop manual for this saw...but it is mine...and I don't think it would help you anyway. However I may be of some assistance to you if you have specific questions. I have...
