Sold Muffler Modded MS-361

[ErikS]

Well as much as I hate to do this, it's time to move on to other projects, so here she is.

A wonderfully maintained MS-361. Recent replacements include fuel hose and filter, crank seals, rim sprocket and bearing, plug, air filter, and replaced the OEM Zama carburetor with a Tillotson unit (no limiter caps, GREAT carb)

The small welds on the face of the muffler are to patch very small holes from removing the internal baffle. Muffler mod is a 1/2" hole underneath a Husky 266 deflector with a spark screen and as stated, muffler is completely gutted. Boy did it ever wake up this saw!

This machine needs nothing but fuel and a loving operator.

$350 + Shipping, PHO. Any questions or other photos needed, please ask.

Erik what is the compression reading ?

 

[ErikS]

Let me go test that now and i'll post a photo i know its damn strong.

 

[ErikS]

But let me be clear... Im at 6500 ft above sea level. So while actual compression doesn't change, static compression as displayed on a gauge does. We lose approx 3% for every 1000ft we go up in elevation.

Gauge reads about 133psi. So adjusted for 6500ft ASL is as follows

133psi x 1.195 (19.5% increase for a sea level reading)

Sea level math comes to 158.9psi

Looks good too. How does the payment work is the buyer protected with paypal?

 

[ErikS]

Of course. PayPal is the only payment I accept, and friends and family vs standard payment I don't care, but buyer needs to add 3% if it's sent as a standard payment rather than friends & family to cover PayPal's transfer fee. Also, i ship with full insurance, and provide tracking as soon as she's on the way.

Glad to see its already sold they're great saws. On an unrelated note, do you like the new lightweight bars ?

 

[ErikS]

Love em. The ES Light is all i run in the longer lengths (two MS-440s with 28" ES Light bars) but i honestly don't know that the 20" I had on the 361 was worth it. It's just not long enough to save a ton of weight. It weighed about the same as a regular Rollomatic E bar (the spot welded 3-piece ones).

That's what I was thinking not enough of a bar to make a big difference on a20". I run an ES 20" on my 361 I think that's about as much bar as its comfortable with.

Had I known Stihl switched to making the lights down to 20" I would have tried a 24", not that I'm unhappy with the Sugi I ended up with I feel there's a difference on an 066 vs an ES.

Do you me asking what youpaidforyour bar ?

 

[ErikS]

I pay dealer cost :/

Retail on one I believe is $109.95

 

[ErikS]

Dont get me wrong. An ES Light 20 is quite a bit lighter than a standard ES... but its not much lighter than an E bar.
