Once it’s moving and warm, it’s smooth. First 30 seconds or so when it’s really cold it’s shaky, and shutdown of course. But I would like to get a dynamic balance. But it did prompt the question if there’s a counterbalanced 360.

OK, I am going to admit my own lack of knowledge here. Aside from the obvious, just what exactly is the difference between a counterweighted and non-counterweighted engine? Under what conditions would you want one or the other? What are the relative advantages and disadvantages to either and any...

Not an ignorant question at all. It prompted curiosity and led to shared knowledge!
If your O-360 is that rough, on startup, I'd really take a hard look at the spark plugs and maybe the wires. When the plugs get fouled or gaps widen a bit, mis firing appears as roughness.
