These saws use very close tolerances, far closer than Stihl can maintain in manufacturing so they run hotter and need far more oil to keep them running correctly.

I was fishing off Walton on The Naze pier and a Firecrest landed just next to me, waited a few minutes and then flew off.....not what you expect!
-
See, told you, the old one needed porting!! Not that I have ever overclocked a computer?!!!!
-
Your server needs overclocking, raise the FSB up a few MHz, overclock the CPU and do the GPU whilst at it. You will then need to turn your heating down?

Older saws are relatively easy to work on but the first few are always a learning curve! With the 357, it has crank stuffers which makes splitting and removing the crank shaft a little more difficult and the inlt boot isn't one of the easier ones to fit! All saws have there own little foibles but if you think about an issue enough and use a bit of aptitude and grey matter, anything is possible. Parts are OK to get hold of albeit Husqvarna parts can't ever be described as cheap! Plenty of people on here to bounce issues off!

I think many treat it as a bit of a joke but I find it far better than some of the tat out there!

Yup, very little used and lightly ported. Did some cutting with the grain, full 24" bar width, loads of grunt and it out cut a 394 a fair while ago...nice!

Ported 346XP Heavily Ported 357XP Ported 181SE

I have an old Army issue 181SE, very pokey on a 24"!!
-
Not a bad decision as these 3 series saws have quite a following and are robust units if looked after. Porting is like marmite, suits some and not others and is very much a personal choice. It means I finish reading the Saga magazine now?

Feck me, everyone you meet may be a carrier or "vector" as the medical guys call them so..the more people you meet, the more likely you are to get it, the more things you touch that others touch, the more likely you are to get it. If you get it, you may not be quite as medically tough as you thought you were. Bubbles, Tiers and all else is just clap trap mumbo jumbo.....use your BRAIN....logic and common sense is your friend!!! Hunker down, dig in until the vaccine does its job!! Another thread to block methinks!!

That's a German company for you, don't see the fact there is a market for them but wants to stop the silly customers getting what they want!!
-
Must have been a big air leak. I have seen it before but is unusual.
-
These brand new MS361s from non EU sources have strange cylinders, they are open transfer port (Like the MS34)1 rather than being closed like the original MS361. The rest looks pretty much the same.

Word of mouth is the best advertising. Worked for me....a bit too well at times!! Each customer can be your sales rep!!

I feel an experiment coming on?
-
I have seen a few saws have water in the fuel and it is indeed milky. If you put it in a clear container, the water will drop to the bottom of the container and be pretty obvious. Meths added to the fuel will absorb the water but too much and it is better to strip the carb and flush the tank.

Blower 1 - Check the state of the piston, if a new carb hasn't helped and ASSUMING you know how to adjust it correctly, it is most likely scored. Blower 2 - the key has failed on the flywheel - it has been spun on the crank and has knocked the ignition timing out!
-
Sometimes innovation works. I once changed the spring rate of a Kawasaki using a garden fork!! I didn't get that from the manual. Did it work? The young lady who rode the bike was happy?
-
Well we can't all live in ivory towers, some of us have to swill in shyte and sort out all of those shyte issues no one else can sort! I would think most decent techs can use the recoil starter to instantly get a bearing on the state of the piston and bore. I won't mention the MS200t carb? eh!! Most people don't own a good compression gauge - what else can be suggested!!!
-
I have tennis because the wife wants to watch it....I would prefer to watch that T34 film you were on about!
-
As a gambling man I would say it is binary and relates to 1971 as this gives you the age to know more than many but what do I know. It will remain a mystery? I like mysteries too!
-
The poor mans compression gauge!!!
-
Sometimes I wish I hadn't blocked those idiotic threads on covid conspiracy theories....then again!!!!
-
Sounds like the correct action. BTW....71 years or 1971?
