Just Ran My New MS361 WOW!

[saxman]

I am just back for running my new MS361 I purchased yesterday. I ran about a tank and 1/2 through her and was careful not to run it too hard and let it idle to cool down after a long cut. The new anti-vibe is GREAT on this saw, if Stihl plans on introducing it in other saws they will have some winners. The 361 (20") makes a great compliment to my other saws a MS260 (18) and a 044 (24"). I don't mean to brag but I am still grinning from the experience with this saw. I guess all the threads here were right, the 361 is a great saw, add me to that list.

Run it a while, and then open the muffler. Then you'll really say "WOW!"

Glad you like it. I think it's a great saw.

Dejavu all over again...

I still haven't done the muffler on mine, but did recently get a spare 24" b&c from a lister here. So I've got an 18" w/ full comp RS and a 24" w/ full skip RSF.

Really great combination since I dont' have a 70+cc saw (yet).

Make sure your chain is on good. I threw a chisel chain on a new (not mine of course) 361 and it cut a little hole in the gas tank, gas all over my leg, I was like w.t.f.? Oh well.

I don't let 'mechanics' work on my trucks, 'gunsmiths' on my guns, and on that note I'll be careful to keep the 'pros' away from my saws!

FWIW, septic work is one area where I make an exception...
