.... And is it true US saws serial numbers start with 2?View attachment 562941
All the US made (Virginia Beach, VA) Stihls I've seen have 5xxxxxxxx S/Ns. The 362s are made in the US, along with the 241s and 261s. The big saws and 201T are made in Germany.
On Stihl saws, yes.

Thanks for sharing the file. I'm guessing it's older...maybe? My ms391 starts with a 5 which isn't covered in that document.
Probably the exception that proves the rule, but my 261cm-vw is made in Germany.

Perspective here..
I love 361s as much as anyone..old school quad port 2 stroker..great saw , ive collected a stash of them.
But a version 2 of the 362 is more efficient and actually more torquey than a 361 with a way better air filter..i like em'..i already have one and im gonna trade for another one with about 20 hours on it in the next few weeks..my opinion.
I've never seen a 362 that really wowed me. Perhaps they're out there, but I've not seen one. Of course, that's just my opinion of how I like a saw to run.What about the 362 is not as good? Never ran a 361 or an 036 but my 362 does well for me.Not trying to start something.I just want to know.
