[Joe]

i have had my 361 for about a year now and it is nice and powerfull but light will definatley get one when this one dies.

361`s are great saws. With an 18 inch bar on it and razor sharp it can deal with nearly anything apart from huuuuuge pieces of wood. Definitly my saw of choice!

As I look at my 10 year old 036 in the garage I can't help but feel immense respect for it. It has never ever gone wrong, nothing, nowt, diddly squat. I think it's had the carb adjusted once in all that time (and a sprocket). It's been flung through the air after being pinched and the tree pulled over, had trees land on it etc etc and it just carries on without even a scratch or murmur. I'm informed the MS361 is as near as damn it the same less a couple of cc's and higher revving. I felt a 20" was too long; 16" or 18" suit it best IME. Perhaps the holiest saw ever made...!

You should try it with a 13" bar.

I prefer the 357XP as its physically a smaller saw with equally as much grunt.

Classic saw, like the 036 and MS360 were/are... Unbreakable in my experience. If I was only allowed one saw this would be it.

 

Ditto. Twice.Best saw i ever bought. Stihl got rid of their "old chugger" image with that saw imo. (upped speed from 12000rpm to 13000rpm on that range i believe):thumbup:Had mine since they appeared, have 16" and 20" bars. Awesome.

do they still only use one piston ring in huskys?

[Rowan the Bruce]

anyone want a 361 for spares I've one kicking around in my garage? Pay postage and its yours, it runs but konks out after fingers off the trigger.

same power as a 341, whats the difference?
