Sounds like a stratified chainsaw. Never heard anyone call it a 2 mix engine, I’ve heard it called strato. Stihl also has a 4 mix engine with valves that burns mixed gas to further confuse the matter. I’m not going to call it a 2 mix even if stihl does.
Hp ultra: ultra cookie monster eyes, ultra head aches?The MS 363 is NOT the manual carb version of the MS 400.1 C-M
This is a fact you all should keep in mind
MS 400.1 = 2-stroke 2-Mix engine
MS 363 = 2-stroke engine ( no 2-Mix )
i.e. you won´t see the MS 363 in regions with higher emission standards like EU, USA, ....
The 361 was a complete turd out of the box. A muffler gut and mod is a must for them to run right.View attachment 452850View attachment 452851View attachment 452852More pics.
Guy mentioned that 363 is way stronger than 361, stock saws
If it's true this would be another legendary king in the class
A 363 might be the way to go for guys thst distrust Mtronic to step up to a modern 60cc saw. That's assuming it doesn't have a different cylinder than the 400.1, which isn't out of the question. I bought a German made 361 from over seas and it came with an open port cylinder.View attachment 452850View attachment 452851View attachment 452852More pics.

No that you mention that I believe I read that. What are the HP specs for the 363 vs the 400.1?They are different. The 400.1 ist a Strato saw and the 363 is a old style no strato saw.
Apparently it is sold in Ukraine, also said to other Eastern European countries and ofcourse the South America and Asia.

Thanks. Probably don't have any interest in the 363.As is the case with MS 382 it's available in Ukraine and several southern European countries.
And like MS 382, it should be available in Mexico, if anyone in the States is interested.

I forgot about this thread and didn’t follow it. It amazes me to see folks like HotSaws 101 and other west coast guys port the 362 and cut timber with them with a 32” bar. That wood must be a lot softer than the hardwoods or even yellow line we have.It’s a 60cc class saw like the 562 it’s not going to like to be reefed on. But plenty will stick a 32” bar on it with skip tooth chain and *b-word because it doesn’t oil or pull it well.
I'm from the upper midwest, but now live in the west. The wood is extremely soft.I forgot about this thread and didn’t follow it.

I guess if you can get by with a lighter saw, have at it.I'm from the upper midwest, but now live in the west. The wood is extremely soft.
400.1 would more than likely run just fine in 18-20” hardwood if it’s similar to the old style 4001 saw to rule them all
I'd like to try a 363 or 400.1 but my guess is it would be for me like the Husqvarna 359 was too much for limbing and running way to hard in the 18-20" hardwood. Probably have to pass and grab a 592xpg and retire the 038

Yes, it must be a mile different. I just got done milling some hickory and did some ash a few days ago. Those aren't even that hard. Black locust and white oak deserve their own super duper extreme hardwood category.I'm from the upper midwest, but now live in the west. The wood is extremely soft.
