Stihl MS361 with 25" Rollomatic ES, Muffler Modded

[GASoline71]

For sale:

Stihl MS361 with a 25" Stihl Rollomatic .050, 3/8" bar. Saw is 2 years old, and has been well taken care of. It has been muffler modded by my saw tuner buddy down in Woodinville, WA. The muffler mod has a spark screen in it, so it is still legal on FS land. Carb has been adjusted accordingly due to the muffler mod. It has the dual dog kit on it with the ceramic roller. It is the smaller dog kit... not the big ol' PNW fallin' dogs. Stihl part number for the dogs is 1135-650-7750, just for reference.

Comes with a full skip 33RSF chain too... Chain has about 2/3rds life left in it.

$500 bucks plus shipping... which will prolly be $35 dollars or so.

I can accept Paypal... or we can work out whatever kind of payment...

Thanks,

Gary

[fishhuntcutwood]

I hear ya Gary. That's how I sold my 460. I looked at it one day and it had dust on it, and I couldn't remember when I last used it. Haven't missed it since.

I've got the 660 and 440, so it was kindof a bastard child.

Well hey y'all, this is quite the saw, and the muffler mod is top notch on this saw!

[fishhuntcutwood]

Well damn then, never mind!

Kinda like my climbing gear a couple of weeks ago....sold it here in 35 minutes.

[squisher]

[Mr. Sir]

Thank you.

[GASoline71]

Hey Justin... I put some fresh mix in the 361 yesterday, and ran it through some 24" Hemlock rounds... :thumbup: Just wanted to get the cobwebs out of 'er, and check everything out... :)

Like I said earlier... you are gonna really like it... :)

Gary

[squisher]

Cool just about to head off here for a bunch of errands, one of which includes sending you off a envelope.:)

[GASoline71]

:)

I got the 2 bars already packed up. They will be sent seperatly from the powerhead. I will toss the chains, and the owners manual in the box with the powerhead too.

Oh yeah. I have one chain that i hit a nail with in a Doug Fir... It has a few messed up cutters, but is dang near new. It will make a good "dirty wood" chain. Or you can gring the cutters all the same size to make it work... anyways, you can have it if you want it... I have no other 25" bars that it will fit. :)

Gary

[Al Smith]

Squashy PM'd me about 2 minutes after I posted it... :)

[GASoline71]

Hey Squashy... saw and bars are headed out tomorrow...

I haven't shipped a saw up to Canadaland before... just some climbing equipment for you and Paulie...

Anything I need to make sure I do or don't do on the customs form at the USPS?

Gary

[squisher]

Heh Brian what did you call that saw that you sent me?

[Skwerl]

You mean on the shipping label? I think I put 'saw parts' or 'warranty return' or something.

[GASoline71]

10-4!

Gary

[squisher]

Yah parts I think it was.

[GASoline71]

It'll be headed your way in the AM...

:)

Gary

[GASoline71]

Everything is on it's way to you Justin!

Gary

[Skwerl]

Gary, did you fart in the box before you taped it up? :lol:

[sotc]

and justin wondered what that smell was when he open the door to his new truck:lol:

[squisher]

Ahh you guys are lucky I'm tired tonight............or I'd let ya HAVE IT!!!!:lol:

[squisher]

Everything has arrived now safe and sound and just as Gary had described(of course). 8)


Thanks for getting everything off and packaging it all up so well. A pleasure doing business with ya. Tomorrow my day is shot wrenching but it'll be going into the line-up for Friday.:D

[GASoline71]

Justin... I'm glad the saw made it to ya in one piece. Lookin' forward to your report on it's performance. It had served me well... so it will do the same for you.

Pleasue doin' business with you too my friend... :)

Gary

[fishhuntcutwood]

You'll be plenty happy Justin. It's an awesome saw. Here in our part of the world, it even does well as a light timber saw. It'll pull that 25" in our trees with ease.

(That stump cut is level...the camerman aligned with the tree, not the ground....honest! That's the stump from the tree in the first pic.)

[sotc]

great shots jeff

[fishhuntcutwood]

Thanks. I love running that saw, as it'll really pull for you, for a 59 cc saw. Thought those pics would fit in this thread.

[Burnham]

Look there, all you faller wannabes!!! THAT is a proper faller's axe.

[sotc]

Look there, all you faller wannabes!!! THAT is a proper faller's axe.

You will like this saw Justin... it likes the PNW softwoods...

Thanks buddy,

Gary

I have the same mod on my 361 recommended and pictured by the same guy. Nice mod!!!

[sotc]

welcome bowtie, tell us more:)

[Bowtie]

welcome bowtie, tell us more:)

I bought that 361 stock, used. I saw how this guy from Washington modded his, just like Gasoline71's saw. So I did mine the same way with bolt spacer pipe that I drilled thinner (5/8) and the screen from a TS Stihl cutoff saw. Then I cleaned and painted the muffler with Dupli-color high temp with ceramic paint and baked it in the oven for 3 hours at 400 degrees. This isnt my idea, this was suplied by a well-known guy up in Washington...;)

[squisher]

Uhh you don't know Gary do you? Ah even if ya do welcome anyways.;)


Any friend of the sasquatch..............:lol:

[Bowtie]

Uhh you don't know Gary do you? Ah even if ya do welcome anyways.;)

I dont know Gary personally, but I have visited with him elsewhere on the internet forums.

[sawinredneck]

Uhh you don't know Gary do you? Ah even if ya do welcome anyways.;)


Any friend of the sasquatch..............:lol:

He knows Gary squish, he knows a bit more than you might think:D

I like Bowtie, and he looks a bit like Dale Jr. to boot.

[squisher]

Well cool man welcome aboard.

[GASoline71]

I dont know Gary personally, but I have visited with him elsewhere on the internet forums.

Welcome aboard the Treehouse mang! You're gonna fit in here right nicely. The Lakeside MS361 muffler mod is awesome... glad you like yours too... :)

Hey squishy... when you gonna put up a pic of the ol' girl in action? ;)

Gary

[MasterBlaster]

Welcome to the TreeHouse, Bowtie! :beer:

[squisher]

Hey squishy... when you gonna put up a pic of the ol' girl in action? ;)

Gary

Alright, alright I'll try and snap a few this week of it getting some run time.

[GASoline71]

Cool mang... I'm really glad you are happy with it.

:) :thumbup:

Gary

[squisher]

Great saw, great muffler mod my ehp one looks basically completely stock from the outside I like the big pipe on yours :D. Butttt I thought you was a westcoaster, no wrap around handle?:P

[GASoline71]

Nah... only on the 044 and bigger. My "true" West Coast fallin' saw... ;)

Gary

[hornett22]

i should sell mine but it's only a month or so old.we'll see.i kinda like it until i pick up the 372.

[squisher]

How much?:D

[Burnham]

Dang Squishie...you got it baaaad :D.

[squisher]

Ya know the 361 is the smallest saw I own besides the 200t's but damn they're a smooth cutting saw and suprisingly fast.

[Burnham]

I'm pretty partial to mine as well, Justin. A nice saw, for sure.

[GASoline71]

Yours has that modded muffler too Justin... makes a big difference in the performance of the 361...

I'm glad you are still happy with the saw... :thumbup:

Gary

[squisher]

Very happy Gary although I will admit my other 361 with the EHP woods mod has an edge on it. Both great saws though.

[GASoline71]

I'm sure the EHP 361 is quicker in the cut... :) That would be a cool side by side comparison...

Gary

[squisher]

Yah I will say both of my ehp saws have really turned on now that they're broke in. I'm very impressed, one way or another I'll not be running stock saws anymore. I do like your muffler mod on the 361.

[GASoline71]

Modded saws will do that to ya mang!!! :)

Gary

[fishhuntcutwood]

I still love mine, even though I don't get to run it as often as I did out West.

[GASoline71]

After I got the 044 from Wally, all the 361 did was sit... squishy gave it a good home... :)

Gary

[squisher]

Lol used and abused. I should get a pic of the chain that's on it right now, it's only missing a few teeth so far. Filed right back so the teeth are no longer full width. I'm a cheapskate when it comes to chains.

[MasterBlaster]

Not me. I have back-ups for my back-ups. Lifes too short to frig with less than top of the line gear.

[squisher]

Eh? My down to the end chains cut just as well as the new ones I put on? I don't throw away a chain until it's used up.

[MasterBlaster]

But of course!

[squisher]

I hear ya I was just chuckling cause the chain that's on it is basically done but I keep going 'just one or two more file strokes will keep it going'. Generally when teeth are breaking off I throw them out.

[sotc]

cmon now squishy, the teeth get smaller as you go and then you lose a few? cant cut as well as a full chain;)

[MasterBlaster]

I toss em after I've had to file the drags more than 2 or 3 times.

[Burnham]

Yeah, Squish...cut as well as a new chain, my behind!

[squisher]

No problemo. Until you start losing cutter width why shouldn't it cut as well as new? If it's sharpened properly and your rakers are the correct height why would you think it's not going to cut as well?

Now once you're down so far that the teeth are breaking off of course you're gonna lose some performance but by that time you're probably starting to lose some cutter width too.

[woodworkingboy]

Squishy must be a chain filer exceptional!

Make up yer mind, Squish...:lol:

[woodworkingboy]

You can buy our used chains, and shipping is extra :lol:

[sotc]

heck yeah jay, 10 bucks each plus shipping, heck of a deal:lol:

[Burnham]

I have a few, for sure, if you are interested Squishie :).

[squisher]

Lol, maybe I'll take your chains if you ship 'em for free.:D


Ok the chain that's losing cutting edge would not be as fast, but they're not run like that for long because I find teeth start breaking off.

BUT!!!

Right down to just before that point I have no problem keeping a chain sharp like a razor. Atleast as good as new, better if it's not Stihl chain.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.:P


:lol:

You all could refer to me as 'hand filer extraordinaire' from now on if you like. Instead of 'the calm one'.Lmao!

[Dave Shepard]

Why does the Stihl chain not perform as well as others at the very end?

[squisher]

Not what I meant. Stihl imo is alot sharper from the factory then Oregon. Those are the only two brands of chain I run.

[Dave Shepard]

That makes more sense.

[CurSedVoyce]

I dont even buy Oregon chain anymore unless I have no choice at the time... But I usually have bought a years worth of chain by feb or march. So I rarely put myself in a no choice scenario.

[woodworkingboy]

I got a sh@tload of good chain recently for free, from the tool rental place in town. They replace the chain every time their saws get loaned out. Hard to believe I thought.... The good thing is that it's all 3/8" not safety chain, the bad thing is that most of it is .058" or .063" gauge.
