I would also put in new seals while your at it - got one in like that - also had to change out the tank as well but have lots of parts for them- it's a keeper

cut good? Looks like it would hold a edge longer

might be your oil pickup line not sealing up to the pump itself because the lip is too short on the hose and make sure your handle bar bolts are not too long under the oil tank or they will punch a hole in the casting over time- change the pickup line to oem for starters- chineese are great...

took apart one last week that had been streight gassed- piston had a few marks on it but not bad but the crank was black and big end bearing was half siezed on the rod and reay to loose all its rollers- strange, usually the cylinder takes the beating on a streight gassed saw

just the 51 as far as I know

Just put one on my bencn last night to be looked at and get running right , had them befor - pretty good little saws

Magnesium i beleve and takes spcilized equipment to weld that stuff and rods and someone that knows what they are doing better off just finding another cover - loads of those saws around

if the flag didn't fit on perfectly easy then it, one of 2 things- wrong handle or the metal piece going into your chain brake is the wrong one- the metal piece is different on oe xp than the xtorq - more like a 390 which is a wider handle anyway.- wouldn't fit right

got one of the older wood handle types and didn't like to grab the thick bark on the fir i usualy cut so I welded on another inch of spike on the leaver and shaped it- grabs now

Looks like someone got a little agrssive removing transfer.

Think I would tend to getthe real metal clamp a would put new seals in it - press-vac test it when you get it together IMO

Just did one and did put new seals in it because of it's age but the biggest issue of it not runnig right was the pulse line was too short where it goes int the carb, replced it with one that had a longer chunck of rubber on it and did rebuild the carb as well and hold 15-20lbs all day long and...

Had a 572 for a while but prefer the 372xp which has been ported- the xtorq 372 I also do cylinder work on to really stand up and be noticed, don't get me wrong the 572 is a nice saw to use but I prefer the power of the 372 and parts are very easy to find, easy to work on and I am in control of...

Bearing places can probably match them but must be double lipped

most likely a china knockoff - look at the C clips and maybe listed wrong as well
