Husqvarna 372xp

[Keith Gandy]

I recently acquired a 2007 Husqvarna 372xp. Is this the model that ports well? Advantages , disadvantages? Looking for porting ideas that has worked out best for folks and ill probably wanna port for a 24 to 28" bar. Best bar length chain combination , best carb for it? Thanks guys. It will be wearing a pro safety full wrap bar that hadnt made it here yet. Spikes? Pro safety 4 pt or 5 pt or magnum oem?

Add panty hose over the carb intake and you're good to go for 3 cuts.

Ill tell u like I told Randy, just keep talkin and im putting it down in my notebook!!

Im not sure which carb this 2007 has? Does it need a 372 xtorq carb or the Tilly 360?

 

[mdavlee]

Which carb is on it the HD12? I'm going to play with a modded 7900 carb on my 365 when I put it together. It was too much fuel for a stock one for sure. Couldn't get to top rpm without feathering it. The xtorq carb would be fine. The HL360 is a 1" bore about the size of a 084 carb.

Im not sure Mike and im at work. I think John has I think Walbro rwj 4 around the shop that he was putting on his. Would that work ? Rwj 4?

 

[mdavlee]

The RWJ is the xtorq carb. It works fine. I have one of those as well. I'll try to play around with a few of them this week if it stays dry.

I have a set of the pro safety 5 pt. Dawgs that I picked up for a song. They are just ridiculous but they are cool looking. I like the OEM large version a lot better. I did a variation of the spike special on my 371 and it runs strong. Look up the saw college videos on YouTube. Lots of good info there.

 

[mdavlee]

If you cut the bottom one off the 5 point they're ok. I like the 4 point ones since the top spike is out further.

They stay outta stock on the 4 pt pro safey spikes

 

[Keith Gandy]

Anybody like the double small spikes like the ones on mine ?

Metals makes some pretty nice 4 point that are bigger than stock. I don't like the small ones. If you use spikes to make face cuts they're pretty well useless.

 

[Keith Gandy]

Mike I have always liked the 4pt pro safety spikes after u recommended them to me. I ran them on my hybrid and really liked them. I think ill like the pro safety full wrap better than the oem full wrap. John and I have another oem full wrap in the shop but the pro safety seems much beefier?

 

[mdavlee]

Pro safety is bigger tubing.

Pro safety is bigger tubing.

Do u like the feel better than oem?

 

[mdavlee]

It's not bad with the bigger tubing. It's less tiring to hold on to the pro safety for hours.

 

[Keith Gandy]

Mike what about the muffler mods? Do u enlarge the top deflector opening? I saw on the xpw John had that u added a deflector on the right side. Anything different to date?

 

[mdavlee]

I use a red97 deflector on top or make my own even bigger. You can still run screen that way. It allows 1x1.5" opening or so.
