[QUOTE="clearance, post: 535217, member: 5592"] Welcome Ed, I am a soul who thinks the 361 is a good saw, but it has the typical Stihl problem of the chain tightening as you tighten the bar nuts and the fuel tank cannot handle a sharp chain coming off at high rpm. I used a new one and had this happen, I just threw it in the truck, "junk, next", I was used to 372s at the time, but the 361 is a killer saw for a weekend warrior firewood guy. This dealer is a family friend, why not get a good used saw from him, and then have money to buy new safety stuff? [/QUOTE]
