365-372

Lol. No I hadn’t really paid it much attention until we were getting ready for clean up.

Depends on what it's for and how much you care, I guess. If its a firewood saw? Who cares. If its a flipper, it's a tough sell.
Does it have a purpose? Maybe something for the recoil and cover to ride on. Might not be detrimental to the operation

You're rightKev, it doesn't really do anything. I'd have a hard time using it though. Would've jumped on it when it was in the classifieds if if weren't for that.

I’m still gonna use it down the road just gonna use 365 cases for this build. To be honest my son saw it before I did I will just save the 371 and build it later on

Not a bad plan. I'd bet someone here has a useable fw side case for a 372 they'd let go of cheap

 

[Mkinslow]

Well the old girl 365 is cleaning up quite well

 

[Mkinslow]

Sorry guys I haven’t taken many pictures today of my son helping and my hands were way too dirty to be handling a 600$ phone. No excuses I’ll start taking more

Not uncommon for a saw that was crunched to have that cross piece busted out. Not critical, but what it does is support the air conductor covering the flywheel. In some cases I've seen the conductor get a little too close and whoosh there it goes along with the coil and kill wire. Yanking and tugging on the saw, and a missing air jet are when this happens.

So, it's important to use a new OEM air conductor and you must run the air jet that grabs in intake air for the carb. The jet also offers some additional support. Just need to be careful when putting the starter on that everything is where it's supposed to be and check for clearance. Also, and I know I'm over doing it with the details, but a used coil is better here as the wire has long been formed into shape. The wire on a new coil will want to do it's own thing.

Didn't think about the conductor Bob. It's great to have guys around that have seen it all.[emoji4] I guess that bar does serve a purpose!

I was looking at that on my 372xp and I think I can come up with a solution to keep everything where it should be and keep it from getting torn up. That’ll be on a future project. Thanks for the knowledge bud

I offered him a flywheel side half, but guess he has it covered. Moving on.

Sorry bud. Thought I replied to you on that. I’m gonna use mine but I appreciate the offer. And I’m also low on $$$$$$ for things that aren’t necessary

 

[Duce]

Cannot get any cheaper than free, but would need you address.

Yes sir you are correct. I should have asked but I just figured I would pay shipping

 

[Duce]

Merry Christmas, I got that covered. PM me your address. Will go out Monday. Are you going to use that single ring piston, I have 1.5mm Caber ring for it?

 

[Mkinslow]

Well thank you bud. Yes I’m gonna use the single ring piston. Merry Christmas to you and yours

Not a lot gonna happen for a couple days guys as I’m waiting on some parts that were ordered and I’m back at work. I work at the Waste Water Treatment Plant for the city of franklin. Saturday-Wednesday. Anyway cases cleaned up well and only thing broken is that one cross bar on FW side. Bearings feel pretty good but I keep thinking I should maybe split the case on the set I’m gonna use now and do the bearings and seals. What do y’all think

Might as well do bearings and seals then you won't be wishing you did later. It's not hard and you can always watch one of mattyo's mind numbing videos if you need help. Or post up whatever questions you might have.

I think I will do them so something doesn’t come up later with them. Yeah I’ve split the case and changed then in my other 372xp It wasn’t bad. I was actually watching one of those videos

Well I’ve started a repair on the busted handle on my tank. I’m gonna add some aluminum on the sides to help with strengthening but I taped the broken spot off and filled it with fiberglass resin for strength and to give some fasteners something to hold on to. Maybe it’ll hold till I find another tank
