372 X-Torq Rebuild

[PA Dan]

Harrumph!

(I second this)

Yeah Austin, a 346 is probably your most logical "next saw". They are terrific for all round use. They are fast, light, easy to handle and will cut 18-20" wood when needed. Everyone should have a good 50cc in the stable, whichever color you like.

Ya them 346's run pretty darn good!

I'll send him one.

Thanks, @beaglebriar !! Got that splined screwdriver in the mail today. I really appreciate it.

No problem bud. That'll make tuning a little easier and you don't have to remove the limiters. If there's anything else you need for the saw just shoot me a PM.

You learn after a while you can have a bad ass saw of any brand... but it comes down to your skills. My boss could cut circles around me using a stock 372 and me a 661/395. Not that I’m that bad lol... he just has more experience... simple as that. I’m still learning!

Yeah im still learning too. Sometimes when we are limbing tops, I accidentally cut a branch without looking where the tension is and I end up pinching my bar. Most of the reason why I pinch my bar is because Im excited to run my 372. I just need to slow down and calm down.

Everyone pinches a saw sometimes, even the most experienced pros . Trust me. Best to not yank it out and use a wedge or another saw to cut you out. Remember, compression and tension when cutting.

We got the carb kit on Friday and installed it yesterday. Me and my dad thought it would solve the leaning out problem... It didn't. When I first start it up it runs fine until I cut a couple of cookies, then it started to lean bog . So I tilted it to the left, idle and rev didn't change. Tilted it to the right the idle picked up a little bit and lean bogged when i revved it. So probably during the weekend my dad is going to do a vacuum test on it. My best guess its that PTO side crank seal. If that doesn't fix it, I don't know what will.

Got my Jonny Red out though!

Check those transfer covers too buddy, I’ve heard of guys mentioning those can leak.

Yeah Im gonna check to see if those are leaking. Thanks for mentioning that.

Pack the sleeve on the clutch side with grease. You may need a new sleeve and the little o-ring.

My 2159 is broken in and after my dads done fixing up his tractor he said that we could port it... Maybe if it has enough power when its ported, I'll add a tsumara 24" bar on it.

 

[ZukiRyder400]

I really haven't been able to get into my 372 that much lately because we had things going on. I'll probably get to the pressure test on the weekend.

 

[ZukiRyder400]

Update: We did a pressure/ vac test on the 372 yesterday and it was hardly leaking...

 

[ZukiRyder400]

Turns out it was a kinked fuel line!!!!!

 

[RI Chevy]

Glad you figured it out Austin!

Very common on that saw.

 

[ZukiRyder400]

Thanks... But my intake boot got chewed up in the process of the pressure/ vac test, though. But its ok, there should be one in the mail box by Friday

 

[XP_Slinger]

We should’ve checked that first...my bad. K-I-S-S

 

[ZukiRyder400]
