2165 Rebuild

[exSW]

Is it my imagination or is it easy to lose threads in this format?

I built a small mount 362xp from bare crankcase halves with new oem crank kit, tank etc. Just because I wanted to compare to the 365 special.

I prefer the 365 all day any day.

Pics from a thread on my site I saved.

So you did try the 362 VS the 365? Is that what you are saying?

I never ran them side by side. I did have a few chances too, but always just pulled the 362 top end without even starting the saw.

 

[Cut4fun]

Yep I prefer the 365 for my uses. I did like the small mount though.

 

[Hedgerow]

Hooray 365!!

WooT WooT

Get this together and the 372 tank shows up I'll have 2 of them running.

Is it back together now ?

Is it back together now ?

Calm down. Don't you have some work to do?

Calm down. Don't you have some work to do?

I'm doing it right now buddy

 

[mdavlee]

Is it back together now ?

Not yet. I'll go pull the tank shortly off the 365 case. Hopefully have it together tonight and maybe test it tomorrow. I hope one of those other mufflers is decent. If not I'll grab a hyway from HL.

Watch out Clint, Skippy has passed me, and has his sights set on you.

I seen that earlier. He's been posting away.

Here's where I got to. Need a few little things to make it run like a starter. It should be here Thursday.

Looking good Mike are you keeping it a 48mm?

Mike how do these run compared to a 372xp?

 

[mdavlee]

Staying 48mm for me. I can't tell a difference stock up to 24" bars. It almost seems like these have more torque.

 

[P.M.P.]

Randy convinced me to keep it that way jug I sent him didn't look the best runs like a raped ape.

Looking good Mike. My 371 is sitting in about the same state. Finally got some parts today but still waiting on a piston and carb kit. USPS has been ridiculously slow lately it seems.

 

[mdavlee]

I pulled a lot of parts off the 365 to put that together. Now I don't have a running one.
