Thanks! I’m gonna have to get a couple

For some reason the 268/272 am muffler's are not very durable
I've had a few come apart
I've started adding brazing around the welds on the halves.

No more neotec 2511s they are being discontinued
I paid 90.00 somewhere for mine eBay I think.

I wonder why they discontinued them. They seemed to be very popular.

Whew!! Just finished reading this entire thread, all 169 pages of entertainment. It has taken weeks to slog, breeze, crawl, slide through those virtual sheets of wisdom and silliness.
Czed, you win the prize for info, ingenuity, doggedness, passion for keeping me sittingon my butt avoiding the stuff I "should be doing". Hahaha!
Several others of you other clone saw aficianados are also right up there with Czed.
Thanks for all this.
One observation, correct me if I've misunderstood, is that several years ago was the "good old days" of clones, particularly the 372 copies. And quality of any one brand compared to another has rearranged itself over the years? Farmertec compared to Neotec, for instance?
Happy New Year of safe cutting and successful modding to all of you.

From what I understand the ones labeled as "Hnsavrqua" or some messed up name variant like that are pretty good copies.

That's what have. Runs good but leaks bar oil like crazy.

I don’t know if they are better, they were just very cheap and they mostly work. Quality varies widely in clone saws and no particular brand has changed that.

I was getting this from those here on the forum who had them and their responses. Because of what was said, if I was to get a clone, then it would have been one of the Hnsavrqua 372s.

I hear you. Several people on here have had good experiences with them. That is a good sign.

But I’ve owned or worked on FT/Holzforma, NeoTech, Hnsvarqua, and I think a few other clone 372s. They all look very similar in manufacturing, if not from the same factories. I wouldn’t trust the decal to indicate quality.

The one exception is the Holzforma Pro versions come with a seemingly genuine Walbro carb (HD 58, IIRC).

Genuine 372 leaks bar oil anyway lol
