Good morning! <br>Today, a story about a Stihl MS361 that was left for dead under a workbench. <br>But is it really dead? <br>Or was it hibernating for years waiting for a resurrection? <br>You can own this saw, right here: <a href="https://ebay.us/m/r1MlXd">https://ebay.us/m/r1MlXd</a><br><br>Don’t miss a new video from Tyler today ( The Tyler Show). <br>He has a mess on his bench - THREE trashed Stihl MS500i’s. <br><br>Thanks for being here! <br>See you next time!

You two have one of the best chainsaw repair channels out there. I am so glad I discovered you two. Been watching for about a year now and always look forward to a new episode. Thank you for all your work.

I really appreciate your preference for OEM parts and special tools. In my world that speaks strongly about work ethic and professionalism.

"They should call you the 'Chain Whisperer.' That MS 361 sounds so sweet it’s basically singing opera now—loud, smoky, and ready to kill."

I've had one of those plastic stops squish while torquing the clutch on my MS 290 to 50Nm.<br><br>Had to wait for a new stop, and not long after started using rope.

I like when you guys tag team a repair. Looks like you've got a nice saw there and the video really takes all the buyer concerns out of the equation. Well done!

Well now this was an interesting video and I never expected that 361 Stihl chainsaw to start in the beginning but to my surprise it did and why a lot of smoke came out of it. Also, I never expected that you would go through this with such detail. This 361 Stihl will make someone a great purchase and it will be like brand new. I can't believe that you got this for only one new chainsaw blade. What a steal and no pun intended. You and your husband really know your craft.

I’m guessing vacuum pulls the boot in while pressurizing expands the boot.
