A few days ago my 12 yr old son tried my Stihl 362 and his voice suddenly got deep and he started growing hair on his chest.

If that's happening the next thing you will hear is grandpa

When I get done building my Poulan I'll nail that ms361 to the wall, we can run em, I'll smoke that Creamsicle in spectacular fashion.......

That's right let the trash talk begin!

The fact you sound so scared of my 361 tells me I don't even need to talk trash...

Nope just throwing down the gauntlet

It is intimidating going against a Stihl I'm sure

Not this one! The whole oiler is getting regasketed so no leaky

Nah, bring your A game

I'll make sure to tune it rich for you so it can be a close call at least

Figure of speech, instead of a glove, a quart of oil instead, not an oil leak, Stihls leak enough as it is.

Last time I saw that Stihl run, couldn't see the wood from all the smoke.

Nothing leaks oil like my homelite XL and it won't win any race well maybe against a mini Mac

I think my Poulan 2300 has that one beat. It pours oil hours after shut down unless you take the oil cap off.

That's what happens when I try to make it run with all the other makes. It just doesn't like to be toned down

 

[s sidewall]

That's a good one.

I'm working on an XL the paw in law gave me, he said it was always a booger to start, I'm hoping it doesn't give me all those problems lol the good thing is even though it's a top handle it comes apart easy

Plugging away on the 3300 this morning, got the hardware and holes drilled for my head, It fits better under the cover than I had anticipated, I'm going to move the hand guard forward about a 1/2 inch but I didn't get time today, I've gotta go to work now. Will leave you with a couple pics of progress.

 

[Kensie1988]

Nice! Did you get your timing set the way you wanted?

 

[stihlaficionado]

Hey Mark! I haven't been as regular recently. Just pop in to here and the GMT occasionally. The 046 is doing well I was actually discussing it today with Kensie. Do you know if the squish was ever cut on it? Realized the compression is more stock on it. It was being sluggish the other day but tached it at 12700ish later so I retuned

Don't know. You can pm Brad. He built it like all the other 046/460/461 he does. I didn't want a pop-up so other than that not sure.

Maybe the humidity.

046 & the 440 I sold didn't like the humidity & usually needed a retune.

Air filter clean? Those dang Stihls need air filter maintenance constantly. May want to upgrade it with
the newer filter set-up. Not as good as Hooskie, but better than stock

Not yet The Jug that is on it currently is nothing more than a test jug it is scored and scraped the Chrome lining off it can't be used I have a jug at home that will be cut down the same way this one has been and then ported I didn't want to cut down my good jug in case something didn't line up the way I wanted it to but now that I know everything is going to line up well I can cut the good jug and start porting
