The red Dolmar hose is what I use.

So just the nature of that saw to run hot at the impulse.....interesting .

Not really.
But that blue line is crazy soft. Very low melting point.
This series of saw has an identical impulse set up as the 372

Went to use it today bucking firewood and it did not want to start . [emoji35]Get home and it blipped on the first pull and started on second. Took four saws with me and only one did not give me issues.

Happened to me too, as I stated a few posts back. Tygon melts off the cylinder nipple. I replaced it with echo line and it's been fine for 2 years.

You buy the echo line in bulk?

 

[huskihl]

Yep.

 

[jake wells]

Yep.

echo line is good stuff.

Seems to work well

better than the Husqvarna brand line which turns to mush in less than two years.

Real Tygon last 3hrs on my 361 impulse. Blew off. It was a hot day in 2014. Junk! Glued it on with Gorilla snot to finish the day.

Finally ran 4 tanks of fuel through it one after another cutting up 4 ash trees into firewood. Almost to 2 cords. Everything is running well.

I buy my Echo 3x5 @3x6 from @fordf150 . He has it in 25' boxes or by the ft.
