I had the same issue on my Huztl 660 kit. I just filed down the outside corners where the counterbalance lobes contacted the skirt.
I always triple check the pin retainers to make sure they are in the groove.

I don't remember seeing any 'brass impulse fitting' in my pile of parts.

Picture or part number?[emoji15]
Never had a 361 before so I wasn't looking for 'it'.
The pipe on the bottom cover that the impulse hose slides over when the carb is seated. Unless I'm mistaken and the impulse hooks up some other way. I too am unfamiliar with the 361.

The carb is a 'face feeder' for the impulse.
Hose hooked up just like the two 034s I overhauled in the past.
Impulse hose (rubber tube) plugs onto the crankcase spigot and to the engine side of the handle/tank bulkhead.
Look for a nipple pointing straight to the right.

By the way. This 361 is a head above in performance compared to an 034 with a MS360 top end.[emoji6]
Got my new cylinder and piston today, managed to quickly put it together, have a couple pull and nothing, then had to rush of to a personal emergency. Curious as to how long its taken other to get a brand new started?
Also what baseline carb settings is everyone starting out with?
On the Huztl 660 they usually pop within 5 pulls. I start with the carb settings as shipped. I don't have to adjust them very much but I do richer up the high for the first tank at least.
I noticed your ad is still up, what sort of feedback are you getting 67?
I'm beginning to think that the crank balance loves may be rubbing on the bottom of the cases, anyone had that happen?
Only a couple nibbles.
Didn't really know where to price it. Let it run two three weeks and then maybe drop it a tad.
What price do you have on it? I have a couple of extra huztl 660 that I want to move and I don't know what to ask.
Open to suggestions/improvements.

I was guessing it should sell at a clean used original saw price.

On the 660s I've been building I reset the carb to the suggested settings in the manual and go from there. I also run the first tank a bit rich.
So I got my 361 all together, the scraping sound was the fly wheel rubbing on the starter housing. Problem is now it doesn't want to start, had it runoff a little and it ran and cut well.
Now it fires within a couple of pulls on choke but that's it!! Any ideas what wrong with it now

Did you disassemble and inspect the carb?
Look back a ways and see the metering lever spring I found in mine.
It wouldn't pass fuel.

Is it a complicated job to disassemble?
Swapped out the metering spring from an 034, hasn't made much difference, I have noticed that when taken from choke to full throttle on startup the choke butterfly only partially opens, is this normal??
Saw will fire on choke second pull almost every time, will occasionally fire when set back to idle.
I have got the saw to start a couple of times by first pulling on choke till it burps, then switching to the on position and holding throttle wide open. Saw will then only run above half to 3/4 throttle.
I'm thinking it is a carb issue, I may just order a new aftermarket carb if I can't get it to run with help from here over the weekend

Yes, the choke blade opens to about 80% till the fast idle 'toe' catches on the throttle trigger.
Squeezing the trigger should open it completely and clear the fast idle latch.
