Hi Guys,
Did some research on a MS360 build comming from Huztl but I didn't find any.
So after building one myself I tought posting some pictures and make a short review.
I only build the saw and run it for some minutes.
Did no cutting yet, so I'm not able yet to review it's performances.
the package was shipped on the 1st of april and was delivered at my door on the 10th of april by TNT.
All the parts:
Start assembling the case and crank:
The cases are well finished. On one half there was some oxidation on the naked aluminum. It was easy to wipe of with a soft bras-haired brush.
Bearings are with metal spacers and turn verry smooth.
mounting the brake assembly:
=> don't forget to use sealant on the oil-pump screws because they threaded it into the case...
The brake is verry smooth and works fine without any modifications.
(in contrast to my 372 huztl, that was verry stiff and hard out of the box)
So far so good, plastics, gas tank and recoil are well build and well finished. Everything fits nice and easy.
Coming at the cylinder/piston:
I don't use the farmertec cylinder/piston kits.
The reason is verry simple: poor quality.
The aluminum used for the casting is from bad quality so it expands more than good quality aluminum aloy.
Verry thin layer of chrome coating.
The piston to cylinder clearance is way to big (0,22mm on this one)
The pistonrings are made from poor metal casting, and the gap is to big (I measured 0,25mm and 0,32mm)
The quality of the finish at the ports is verry poor.
The cooling fins are to thick so airflow is not optimal.
So I've shoosen for a Hyway cylinder with meteor piston.
The piston/cylinder clearance is good (0,12mm)
The rings are from chromium alloyed steel and the gap is 0,14mm.
The ports are clean and well finished and have a larger flow than the Farmertec.
Nikasil coating (=Nickel-Silicium)
