Husqvarna 372 Repair Thread

Sorry about the "Like" bomb Joe. I really enjoy this series of threads you have been putting up!

Oh and...black coil on a 2014 XT?? What kind of monkey business is this? Dot dot dot.

Did you put a dominant piston because it’s a keeper?

I put that coil on when it was rebuilt as an OE.

No Sir it is my good Friend treelife

 

[TreeLife]

Yes, I enjoy it very much. Handles what ever size bar you like, snappy throttle response. It has ceramic hybrid bearings in the bottom end as well

Remove the collar and washer.

What is the washer for and where exactly does it go

 

[Onan18]

The washer protects the crank seal from the worm gear and it slides over the PTO side of the crank.

 

[Mkinslow]

Ah ok. I need to check my last build and see if mine is there. I’m not recalling it for some reason

Sorry Joe! I gut busy earlier and forgot to make that technical adjustment for you about the routing of the blue ignition wire. Lol
So, anyways...I noticed an oversight on how the blue wire is in front of the black spark plug wire when it should be behind it. It's important that it goes behind the plug wire so it doesn't migrate down into the flywheel and pawls.

I’m pretty sure Joe has it right but I could be wrong. It presses into that slot and there are tabs holding it in place I believe.

You are both correct, Jim the blue wire should go under the coil wire and Mason there are tabs in the air deflector to hold it in place.

Aha I see what Jim was talking about now. I’m going to check mine and make sure it’s good.

Flywheel side in.​

How much wiggle room exists between the seal and bearing? When I pulled the seal on this one it seemed to be about as deep as I have the new one. Your pic has it quite a bit more shallow..., presumably using the correct seal tool to tap it in? Just wondering if I should pull this one and not go as deep with a new one before getting much further along. My first complete 372 rebuild with another one in the wings. Would like to do em both right the first time. (The crumbs are dried Dirko, btw.)

Likewise. Very handy 'right to the point' reference material with great pics. Good stuff and much appreciated.

There is a bit of fudge factor, I just drive the seals in with a socket. I have seen seals as deep as yours with no ill affects.
