Efco 962 vs Stihl 361
By: Old Iron Logging Date: March 8, 2011, 8:05 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
My NOS 962 is up to Timberwolfs place for a little touch up. He
has a new 361 and new 036 to compare with. 1st results are in,
both stock. 12" round wood, 962 vs 361= 962 wins by 2 tenths.
More torque than 361 but less RPM. 962 weighs 0.5 lbs more. 962
has 1mm bigger bore.

361 was anywhere for $625-$700 plus tax= $$748-$805 tax inc.
962 not available, 156=$661 tax inc, 165=$690 tax inc.
Never did like the 361 stock. 036 on the other hand was one of
my favorites.

The 962 has the highest power specs, so it fits that it is a tad
stronger. ;)

Is the 962 and 361 going to get the same work over as the 036?
timberwolf = 036 shaved the base down 0.037 and domed piston
0.025 aiming to have the squish between 0.018 and 0.020 in. Port
timing kept low with the goal of keeping lots of torque. Also
took the venturi out about 1.5mm and cleaned up a few rough
edges.
