372XP kit issues

[I Know Something]

Of the 2. Yes only 2 that I've built last year. One FINALLY came back with an issue. Customer brought it back with the idle ridiculously high. Customer thought it was a seal leak somewhere. So i put it on my bench, vac/pressure test it. Its perfect. Look around the carb, and the darn rubber for the carb adjustments "fell in" and got over the idle screw a bit raising the idle really high. They're both still 100% kit saws. Let's see if this trend continues. Because, darn it! I want one too! Lol

P.s.

My 660 is still going strong with zero issues this far.

Consider yourself lucky.

The bottom ends of those 660s seem pretty rugged. I always replace the piston pin bearing, but I mill and noodle with them, and they just keep going so far, have not lost one yet.

My piston pin bearing got wobbly threw last year (660). Replaced it last winter. All good now.

I have a feeling many of the problems with the saws are from assembly, based on my limited experience these saw require some special attention. Only done two kit saws, a 372 and a ms200 they both work very nice but I have not run them alot, I guess time will tell but I prefere using my OEM saws.

I would prefer to use them as well. If I could afford one.

Haven't had any issues with the 5 (I have a 6th and 7th on the way here) i've built thus far. Mine has a HyWay 52mm PU P&C ported and runs like a raped ape.

Mine finally had an issue. Worm gear melted to the bushing and the inside of the oil outlet got sharp causing a leak. Looking for ideas for what to lube the worm gear with. Or if the kit one failed, went out of round and self destructed. Not sure. But, I'm open to new information regardless on what lube to use.
