You dont have a 361????

And you say you love the Stihl saw......

I usually run a 16" on it. Went to the shop today to get a 7 and 8 tooth rim. Right now Im running 9 tooth in .325. They gave me small spline rims!!! DAMN!! I was hoping to run that .325 with the 7 and 8 tooth and see how she does.

Did the bar oiler keep up with the longer bar?

I only took 4 cuts. I turned the oiler up all the way, and after I got through the cuts I could see a trace of oil on the chain. Revved her up a couple times, and I could see the chain was getting wet. Sooo...Not sure how it would do with sustained cutting, but what I did it seemd to be OK.

Casey where will it end..:laugh: :laugh:


LOLOLOLOLOL, now dayumm if that isn't the best one I've seen on this site. Truer words were never spoken, high 5 to ya ole boy. It do appear there is no end for us saw nuts except old age. When we can no longer start them or pick them up I guess thats when we will quit buying them. I'm figuring at age 90 I should be to weak to fool with a saw anymore. I'll probly just set the saws aside and go get shot by a jealous husband. That will be the end of the chainsaw maddness...
 
Ohhh.........."Daayuuuuum"...........and I only asked a simple question bout a MS 361 mod in another thread.....That 361 looks like a BEAST with that big bar on it :greenchainsaw: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Talon

Unless you want an older saw, it all ends at the 880!!!!
Look on the bright side - if they every do make an 81, Thall and Lake will know about it first:hmm3grin2orange: but we don't right now.. so just buy one!!

Everyone is supprised??? even Stihl says a 28 is o.k. on a 361!!! :cheers:

I find it works just fine with a skip chain, but it's not a 440..

I thought 25 is all Stihl says a 361 can handle...

Not arguing with ya Lake!!! I was pleasently surprised that the 59cc saw can handle 28".
