What is a strato saw?

[Pole-line Paul]

Hi guys. I have recently joined this site because it's the most useful tool I've found on the Internet while researching saws. The knowledge found here is incredible. Anyhow, back to my question. What exactly is a strato saw? I've read here that the 362 is a strato saw and the 361 isn't. What's the difference? Thanks.

Don't brag on these guys too much.

They're opinionated enough as it is.

All good info on a complicated point.

And I'd like to ask: Where did the name "strato" originate for this feature? Is is the idea of a stratified charge of clean air into the cylinder, "stratified" from the fuel/air mix?

The one drawing looks inefficient to an uneducated person like myself.

Yes the 362 & 361 are different. 361 is a regular piston ported 2 stroke, and the 362 is a strato charged design.
