372 toy

[I Know Something]

I've been having fun with a FarmerTec 372 XP. Moding, customizing and general shenanigans with a healthy dose of learning. This past month. I put a Xtorq carb on it for s&g's. I gotta say, the hitting the rpm limit was weird to see at first. The surging and cutting out is what I'm assuming is what that was while not cutting anything. But, once it was dialed in. That things is a totally different beast now. It rips! Gotta find a HD carb some day and give that a shot. But for now. I'm happy with it. And btw. There is no OEM parts on it anywhere. Its all FarmerTec atm. Well. Other then the 24inch bar I found on Ebay.

What was involved getting it dialed in from the issues?

Yeah I've had alot of fun with mine also. I have 2 that are set up different just because there's a bunch of combinations that I wanted to try.

Just taking the carb out of the box and adjusting it. So far. Its not broke in and I've swapped carbs already. So, it's being weird. But, once it's in the wood. It's just eats. Kinda cool to see.

Find an unlimited coil, no more bumping.

Do these farmertec 372 kits come with limited coils? I assumed they were unlimited.

Unlimited

Thanks @Czed - My FT 372 has a carb issue. Won’t lean out even with the high seated in…just wanted to make sure I wasn’t accidentally misinterpreting a limiter.

 

[I Know Something]

Yeah, I assumed it was a limited too. I bet I was just getting the carb dialed in.

Putting an RWJ on an OE 372 is finnicky. They let a ton of air through and all the jets are on one side of the butterfly. A 390xp knockoff carb should make the same power but with less tuning fuss.

We'll learn that this spring when it thaws out and I can even find a tree.

RWJ’s are a lot cheaper and easier to come by though. They are a picky getting tuned like you say

I know this thread is well over a year old but thought I'd post my own experience with a Farmertec 372XP kit saw from HL Supply:
Mine has very few OEM parts except for the air filter cover, small end rod and clutch bearings and a NIB Walbro HD12-1 carb. Just wanted to mention that the Walbro carb was well worth the $90 entry fee. With the poor quality control of the aftermarket clone carbs, I consider this a necessity. Just my opinion but I'm stickin' to it...
Other options were a Hyway Titanikel big-bore, pop-up piston, cylinder and Caber ring combo from Wolf Creek Saw Shop and An Exile Performance dual-port muffler. I did not port the cylinder but just did a little mild clean up work. It already looked pretty good except for a few dingleberries. I did a base gasket delete and ended up with about .020 squish. It has a ton of compression (cylinder pressure actually)! Not sure what it is since I haven't checked it yet but you pretty much have to use the compression release to start it. On the 3rd or 4th pull cold, every time by the way. I run VP 50:1 and the cylinder, piston skirt, piston crown and spark plug look absolutely perfect. I tuned the carb very carefully. With a 24" full-chisel full-comp oregon chain it's a wood eatin' monster! A lot of fun to build and run!

P.S.
These pictures don't show it but it now has a Red Beard's intake elbow and filter system along with an OEM Husqvarna tall filter cover. I've decaled it to look like a real 365XP just for S____s and g_____s. It's already fooled a few people! Lol
Also, cylinder pressure is just under 200psi...
