572 have it stuffed with Hot Sausage

Meh!
Overpriced crap.
Husqvarna is going the way Stihl went , atrocious prices and next to no support due to "supply issues".

This one tops the 572 in all aspects and her being a 20 years long production saw parts are "around" - not that she needs ANY!



I am not saying that Husqvarna is "bad".
But having had my neighbors 365 Special sit partially dismantled in a torn cardboard box at the local Husqvarna dealer for 3 months "due to parts supply issues" just for me to buy the needed part off eBay for them to fix the saw is all I need to know!

Good looking saws, no argument there.
But they , same as Stihl counterparts, are not worth that amount of $$!

That says it all Wilhelm, a saw without parts availability broken in a box, we live in changed times.

This must be due partly to area, where my wife works they deal both and my Stihl parts don’t usually take more than 3-5 days while husky has been 3-6 weeks even pre Covid. Same guys and same store ordering parts.

Yea , it’s more of a wall hanger , but every so often fire it up for a rip ,

One setting is not a go to setting. Need to consider altitude, temp, saw, etc.

Ok, so this is weird. My usual splined adjuster tool doesn't want to engage the adjuster screws on the new carb, which is OEM and numbers match the old one. its like the screw heads are a wee bit too large, or the cavity where the screws sit is a bit too small. The adjuster tool is from a Husky dealer and looks identical to the one they currently sell.

Have used a pick and small screwdriver before, when I gave my driver away.

 

[FergusonTO35]

Thanks. Was fiddling with it last night, and I can just barely get the driver started. Like the screw heads are a bit fat. I may just reuse the screws out of the old carb.

My buddy just bought this oe high top 372 and was wondering what year it is, I told him
I think a 2000 model but not sure if I’m right so I figured I’d ask

 

[FergusonTO35]

Got the new carb on and she fires right up. Idle and acceleration are perfect to my ears, I set the screws to the manual specs. Just need to put it in some wood to fine tune now.

As I recall, 1st two digits of the second line are the last two digits of the year, so 01.

Ok I wasn’t 100% on how to read the date

I cut some with the 440 and think I've got it dialed in just right. Factory settings are really close to ideal, this thing absolutely does not like to run rich. It actually surges in the cut and loses power if you try to run rich, my Echoes are the same way. Currently sitting on 3000 rpm at idle, 12,400 at WOT warmed up. Also, the adjuster screws must have been a little rough because now my tool engages them just fine. With the 16" X-Force bar and chain, the 440 really makes the chips shower and is alot of fun to cut with!

I think there's a guy over on Magnus' site that has the complete saw but needs the bladder, so this would be what he's looking for.
