Looking for a replacement fan housing cover for the 361. Curious if anyone has a parts saw and would be willing to sell the cover. I know I probably wont have much luck with this, but it is worth a shot.

I tried looking on eBay also, with no luck.

I ran it over with the mini skid. I broke the handle wrap and the chain brake release also. I thought I only did cosmetic damage to the fan housing.. but nope

might want to check on what a new housing costs--if the rest of the parts are there, and ok. may not be that much--

Well ,you are talking a relatively new saw model and a Stihl to boot .Meaning there most likely very few units that have been scapped by this period of time .Also meaning most likely a new replacement part and being Stihl will not be inexpensive .

I believe that it's the same fan housing for the 341. That might help to broaden your search.

Thanks for the tip Jay, I will check it out.

If I remember correctly I believe the dealer said $112. Ouch is right.
