My hutzl ms361 clone saw build

[dan494]

I ordered a complete parts saw from a website called hutzl couple of weeks ago, yesterday it arrived! Made a start on it this morning and have got as far as installing the piston. Thought I'd share a few photos as I go along.

So far the only things I've spent money on outside the kit itself is some liquid gasket to make sure there's no leaks and some wet and dry sand paper to shine up the bottom of the cylinder, again to ensure a good deal when I put it on in a bit

I fancy doing this with the 660 clone so I'm looking forward to seeing this saw being built. Thanks for starting the thread [emoji1303]

Hi, there is a chap on Youtube - afleetcommand who assembled two Hutzl 660s, which may assist you.

yeah seen some of his vids, better ones for this saw i'm doing now is some 360 builds i've watched before it came, made it all go pretty easy so far. Right now i'm stuck as cant find the long t27 driver i bought to attach the cylinder  had it yesterday!

Engine is on. Bit nerve wracking getting it over the piston rings. Bolts came with locktite already applied

I do hope you checked the flywheel taper on the crank and in the flywheel its self are a matching taper, seen a couple of hutzl saws where they aren't.

Hadnt seen that mentioned before. Had a look last night as was ok by eye. Handle is on now so will get to the flywheel next

Just placed it on to check and seems fine

I'm excited to see this finished and up and running!

How did you seat the crank case? I've seen people use hot/cold or presses?
