361 Arctic Build (the first and last)

[drf256]

I may try one with a forward face impulse conversion at some point. Make a gasket that sits next to the 044 boot.

I needed an 044 outer metal surround for the saw but didn’t have one. I used the 361. I have before with no sealing or idle issues.

Great job as usual @drf256

Thank you john.

 

[Paul Fithian]

Nice surgery, Doc!

 

[drf256]

This is @Duane(Pa) 361 named Kathy. It’s built the same way.

My porting sometimes requires retarding the factory timing a bit.

 

[drf256]

Here is another to bore you to death.

 

[drf256]

You can hear it popping in the Cut in the second vid. Needed timing slightly retarded and it went away.

would the linkage off an 044 work?

Nope. I tried many.

It’s gotta be custom, and the extra Arctic wiring adds to the fun.

If it’s too long, the operator presence lever won’t let it go back to idle. Too short and the throttle won’t open Fully.

Trully the bane of the build.

That is the first 361 Arctic I've seen, cool saw, even cooler build.

 

[drf256]

Well here it is.

Can’t find my high flow air filters. I also haven’t opened the air box for fresh air intake.

The chain hit something and dulled somewhere around the second cut.

Had it up to 14800 freespooling. Seemed to not pop but be fat in the cut. Safer that way.

 

[Funky sawman]

I bet that handle heat felt nice!

 

[drf256]

This is next.

 

[drf256]

Should be enough. Lolol

[Funky sawman]

Is that a mofo 440 down there?

Hybrid. Arctic

Nice thread Doc! I had no idea what all went into your 361 build. I see why they end up being a “B!tch”

 

[Funky sawman]

Would it be worth boring out the 361 carb to get around those fitment issues?

 

[Funky sawman]

Nice thread Doc! I had no idea what all went into your 361 build. I see why they end up being a “B!tch”

The whole reason I keep clear of the awesome 361 is their mufflers. Like Doc points out, they are a royal pain to get any flow through them. I refuse to operate a non muffler modified saw, one of my quirks.
