A proper muffler mod will cure this problem, allowing you to hear the pop. The 361 is notorious for this.
Welcome to AS !Do any of you guys have a pic of how you did a muffler mod on it by chance?
For one thing, NEVER USE an ether type 4-Stroke STARTING FLUID IN A 2-Stroke! That is a good way to score the engine because it does not have any lube in it.
Are there aftermarket "modded" mufflers available for the MS361?[/I] I'd also be interested in knowing what a "Snellerized" saw is.
Hmmmm. Never had a flooding problem but I've been trying to think of a good reason to mod mine.A proper muffler mod will cure this problem, allowing you to hear the pop. The 361 is notorious for this.
Can't see NOT doin it!Hmmmm. Never had a flooding problem but I've been trying to think of a good reason to mod mine.
I have used starting fluid on 2 strokes with out any issues. Mostly to see if they will fire at all. I have seen a old snowmobile pro that would spray a little wd 40 in the cylinders and pull it over slow a couple times to lubricate it and then use the starting fluid. Seems like a safe way of doing it.As we also own and operate several diesel engines, Henry, I've always been tentative when it comes to starting fluid. It becomes a necessary evil at times, however, so I simply go very sparingly with it. I did a search on the web and, yes, there is more than one "Stihl flooding" article that recommends the use of starting fluid. Is there such a thing as two-cycle starting fluid? This would make a very interesting topic in its own right.
You were the first to mention it, Brad, so I'll ask you first … Are there aftermarket "modded" mufflers available for the MS361? I'd also be interested in knowing what a "Snellerized" saw is.
Thanks again for your time
That's preposterous. Just remove it and plug the dang thang. I hate it rigged up.
Hey, Brush Ape. What's the story on that cool looking firewood processor in your signature space? I'd love to learn more about it.
