Volks-man,
I read your thread about that problem. Any idea when you will know something?

My 361 that I bought in July of 04 nearly changed my life as much as my toaster oven. How many guys on here have a toaster oven? Gotta have one!
Why do you think i got rid of a 044 a o56 and a 041 super?That 056 was a mag2
Go run one. Then you'll know.
- Good power to weight ratio
- Great anti-vibe
- Pro design
- Good air filtration system
- Excellent fuel economy
- Responds well to modding
- Only needs a muffler mod to really wake up
- Proven in the field
- Perfect power for an all around saw.
I will say it one more time, because you are new, but its because the pistons for the 361 were forged from the hammer of Thor himself, and that the cylinders are coated with alloys handed down from Zeus on Mt Olympus...
dammitt i like this guy!
we think alike!
He lied too you! It may reduce unburned gases (so does a cat muffler) but it sure doesn't increase Hp.
That's a question a doctor will have to answer. I think you have lost your mind.

The thing that makes my MS361 great is the fact that it made me appreciate how good a saw my Husky 261 with the new 262 jug and piston really is!!!
They are really close - In fact I think the 261 now has the edge.

It is the best Stihl made they finally got things right!
gotta jump back in the thread here.
the ms 361 i have still screams like a banshee!!!!!!! regardless of the cyl scratches. seems i got a defective casting or coating on the cyl. even so the saw cuts like the proverbial light-sabre. if i did not see the scratches before stopping the piston for the oiler mod, i would never have known there was a problem. i felled and bucked a cord or cord and 1/2 for the two days prior and it ripped!
i have zero experience with the huskys/jreds mentioned here.
but............ will those saws run like that?
damage and all?
SawTroll,
Are the newer 361's different than yours that was made in 2004, EPA-wise?

The 361 is not stratified, but a 4-channel design unlike most Stihls (but like Husky xps and the best Dolmars) - that's one of the reason that it stands out in the Stihl line-up......
