Alittle Stihl vacation

[manual]

Well since we are all nit picking in good fun take a look at those last two pics again. See the big rubber buffer to the left of the clutch on the 441. That buffer protects the tank housing when twisted, it buffers it and also aids in reducing vibration. Now look to the left of the clutch on the 372. You see a small screw head, that is your tank buffer. Its merely a screw with no rubber tip to prevent the tank housing from being twisted too far. Now tell me, is there any question as to which is better on the tank itself..

LOL, call me when your tank housing is twisted to far on that husky

And I'll call you when that happen to My sthil.


Oh thats right I already did. LOL

once again There is no problem with it.

My screw slot is worn out on my Ms361.

I agree, it works just fine, wait a minute we're suppose to be at war here, grrrrrrrrr. Also are you in ghost mode, you can't hide from me,hehe

But did it leak gas afterwards,hahahaha

 

[THALL10326]

I have derailed a chain once on the 361, and it sure did damage the plastic around the clutch.

I have on my 353 also, no damage, except for scratches on the chain catcher, and the paint on the clutch cover......

Bottom line; Husky puts metal were it really makes a difference, Stihl puts it where it looks good........ :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Speaking of looking good, why is this on the side of the 372 motor instead of on top where it belongs,hmmmmmmmmm,

 

[THALL10326]

I can reach that one with my hand on the handle where it belongs, nit picky are we, hell yes, all in fun of course but point made.

If I was throwing my saw around like that saw was, It would leak too.

How interesting this thread has become!!!


Getting down to the nitty-gritty of saw design I see.


Tom............I have both the 441 and the 372...........I like'em both a lot.


IMO...........both saws will last because I maintain the hell out of them.


Am I typical..........prolly not.


But for my purposes all this comparing is moot!

 

[THALL10326]

Ok Troll I've been holding out on ya

Heres where the beef is on the 441, look close.

What do you Mean ?
That is where it belongs on a Husky.
Want To talk about plug placement.
In referance to where it fires ?

That's just abuse! Never have seen one of those worn out on any pro stihl, and they all use the same screw/worm

Hold a 372 in your hand and see if you can reach the compression with your thumb, NO, on the 441 you CAN. Plug replacement on the 441 takes me about 30 seconds, maybe 15 on the 372 but only once every few years so blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Tom and me just need something to quarral about, no offence intended on either side.......:yoyo: :yoyo:

 

[THALL10326]

There is nothing but a hollow space. The carb moves all around on that boot. Not a bad thing at all but built like the 441, no.

Oh sorry I thought the MS361 was a Pro Sthil.

Thats right Sawtroll. Your one guy I can torment and get torment from you and we both smile, we disagree the best,

Those two saws I could run for years and years and never have a issue. 99% of all saw failures are the operator or neglect. Take Manual for instance, his 361 bushings were completely wore out, yet he piddled around and didn't replace them, bout tore a hole in his gas tank, his FAULT(got that Manual, hehe) Either of those two saws pictured would hold up just fine with a good operator behind the trigger. They both cut good, both run good, both are smooth and both I LIKE.

whats so hard about reaching the compression release on the side.
with your left hand.
Think safty tom you always want your right hand fully closed holding on to the saw handle. ehh

That about somes it up.............Great post!!!

Alright you orenry heathen tell the truth here. Did you buy it new or did you buy it off that guy that tears up everything he gets his hands on, the guy who ran over a few saws, hmmmmmm. That 361 done cut 43 million cords of wood before you bought it, admit it,LOLOL

Again, your telling me , you would rather have a carb solid mounted
so the boot cracks

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr if you hold the saw handle in your left hand with the right hand on the trigger you must have the longest thumb on your left hand the world has ever seen,:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:
