27 sounds good. I was just showing what I had seen. I paid about 30 for mine and it sold out. The Stihl with adapters is about 185 @ the counter

The Stihl looks nice and I love tools but it's way out of my budget. I think the $27 one is like the one you use in your videos. Does it work good?
Works just fine. Makes pressure and vacuum.

I'll probably go with the Meteor kit. For milling I want dependability and saw some pics on here of a Meteor cylinder. Beautiful!

I was hoping to get a Walbro carb because it seems from reading they might be more adjustable\tuneable than the Tollotson.
Okay I got the ms 380 running
I had just completed the o36 and when I went to start it I had some trouble so I started looking at the fuel I had mixed up some 25 to 1 based on the recommendations and thought it would break it in better but that mix would not start the Saw
Put in the 40 to1 that I had mixed up and 360 fired right up
So I dumped out the gas in the 038 and it also fired up on the first pull
Also figured out that the source of my gas leak was not the handle it was the intake manifold where it's set behind the metal ring so the carb didn't seal properly
I had to make sure the rubber intake boot came through the metal ring that I
installed over the carb bolts
The brake spring tool is different than the clutch spring tool. I hope you don't get hurt using it that way.

You will enjoy your carburator popoff valve tester when you need to test a carb. What tester did you get to test your saws pressure/vacuum? You built a pile and never tested not one right?

Right I did check the pressure in the tank on the 036 that I just assembled with this new tool
And I found this new clutch spring tool allows you to grab a hold of the pin side of the spring and stretch it right over the pin and your hands are not in the way of anything
Doing it with the modified screwdriver method it was always slipping off the PIN and the Springs flying around
So after about 20 minutes fiddling with this o36 with an oem spring I use this too and it went right on
Where did you buy your vacuum pump from I saw that one on your video it seemed pretty nifty

All of my saws are screaming machine's now just minor Port modification cleanup of the jugs and just taking my time put them together with with some OEM parts and the help of your and Waltz videos
I have one left to put together the 361

On the pump: No name brand tester. Another poster says it's on eBay.
On other matters: Things sure have changed. I bet less than 10% of builders give a **** anymore. Funny thing is they ALL disappear. I guess their saws melt and they sulk off. They get their recommendations and follow them off a cliff. Where is pride any more.

I'm not gonna disappear. I like my built saws and have been leaning hard on em. One of my 361s is out with a logger. I don't loan out my ported big bore 361 with the 440 carb. But it rips. I will admit I thought I ate it the other day. It sped up, then quit while bucking logs. Pull on the starter and it would hardly turn. But turns out it broke a spring in the Hyway clutch. Going to find an OEM clutch since I think I over powered AM ones. At this point, an MS250, 2 x 361 and a 660 kit. All cutting regular.
I bought that vac tester. Works fine. Good buy for <$30
I have the Stihl one. It's super great to hear from you the FarmerTec tool works perfect. Affordable tools are hard to come by.
I have only used it to pull cases apart.

Just noticed, I am not criticizing you. In the photo do you see the side that attached is not flush, your bar nuts need to be perfectly tight for more than one reason.

How is the bottom side made? Does crankshaft thread into it?

My wrap handle, flywheel puller and case splitter came in today but no saw yet. Looks like I'll get it piece by piece lol.
