If it's x torque porting is not reccomended. Fyi. They are different beasts

The ol school 272xp at 72.2cc and 52x34 bore and stroke can lay down some serious powa with the right mods. I’d say they can run with the 372 and lay it on thicker in the torque dept. 72.2cc vs 70.7cc isn’t that much difference in displacement however the torque of the 272 seems greater all things being equal. Another oft-overlooked gem 💎 saw is the Husqvarna 262xp. At 4.8hp stock and weighing in at only 12.8lbs a guy/gal can make a helluva firewood saw with some well thought out mods. The only drawback is that the saw uses the Husqvarna small mount so 16”-20” bars are what’s commonly run. In this smaller wood this saw can , and will , stock for stock, produce with a 372xp and with some flow enhancements outcut it whilst being considerably lighter. The engineers at Husqvarna really did an excellent job designing this saw for its intended application. I’ve got one with a righteous muffler mod and some flow-enhancements that zips right along. A new “favorite” saw 😂

Imho The walbro HD-17 is the ticket for the 044. The saw will perform with that carb and some flow enhancements Fo sure ! Not cheep by any means but STIHL available and worth every penny

Hey tinman!!! I own 7 372xps. It's my go to saw. I have ported the mufflers on 4 of them. I try to pick them up almost every time I find one for sale.

We have a 9 mo old granddaughter so I can relate!

Your absolutely right about the 372 Tinman. If anyone wants to watch great carburetor tuning video Tinman has the best one I’ve ever watched.

Cool vid, Those carbs for the 044 are around for like 50 bucks used 120 new :( WORTH making that saw right. Wonder if the carb just needs the diaphragm looked at? Maybe its unhooked from the metering lever? Agree.... an old 372 will run with the newest saw in that weight & displacement class. Done right will surpass the new ones :) Nice set of 372 raw materials to work with, looking forward to your builds :)

I have a 372xp x torq. I love that thing dearly. Rescued it from a pawn shop with a broken handle, a stripped out tensioner. Took it home, sorted it out and got it in the wood. Pulled a 32” bar with a full comp chain in pine and it was asking for more. Such a treat.

Many many many builders have gotten significant games off from the 372 stock. Many have put on the 75 cc oem kit ported and have had very fast cutting hard cutting durable work saws. Some guys can get performance out of aftermarket stuff but end up blowing them up due to lower quality standards.

If you compare the 52mm to the factory 51.4, the 52mm has large transfers like a 50mm cylinder, while the 51.4 has smaller transfers similar to a 365. Outside of porting and squish, I think the issue is case volume vs cylinder volume. It really seems the 50mm is the sweet spot for most builds. That said I have built plenty 48mm 365 SP's as they are more common locally, and they run very well.

Savor all the moments you get with your little one. My boy is almost two now, it seems like he was brand new yesterday. Excited for 372 content!

Yes. Yes. Yes. 372xp. My favorite saw. I have one that I kinda ported. Without a wheel. More less just a clean up and polish on the exhaust side. Barely touched the transfers. Base casket delete. I really surprised myself with it. The first saw I ever done any kind of work like that to.

I have one from 2001, my wife's father has one from 2000! Great great saws! My 372 original has a single ring piston! It is all OEM!

Power saws and babies..... you hit the jackpot!!! Enjoy 😊

372, ultimate saw of all time my favorite!!!

Love them 372's and 365 lol 👍👍

love mine, thanks for the advice when I was porting it Tinman. That things a beast now.

My dad has a 365 special. It's not been ran in a few years now but it definitely is great saw. Keep up the good work

Looking forward to seeing these builds. Have a 365 with 2 extra cylinders plus a 52 mill hyway kit. Trying to decide which way to go.

Yup the ms261's are good. My main 3 saws are: 2021 372xp xtroq (all stock for now, gonna give it a muffler mod),2014 ms261c; rebuilt and now has mtronic, and a 2022 545 mark 2 with a iron horse style pipe. 2 50cc and a 71cc works great for me.

I've always wanted a 372, just a beautiful machine!

Just got my first Husquavarna, a 372xp x-torque. Buying new bar and chain today and gonna try it out after being used to running the Echo Timberwolf. It’s supposed to have a mild woods port with a muffler mod so should be fun. Looking forward to watching you build some on this channel

My 372 is lite and angry!! No base an a gutted box. I run a 28 on it as a feller, it gets hot and boils the gas if i run it to long bucking! Cant wait to see what you come up with!

I bought a 372 this past year. I emailed Buckin’ for a recommendation and that was his suggestion. I have not been disappointed and I have already used it quite a bit.

I have a 2001 365 special. It was the first saw I ever bought back in 2002 or '03 can't remember. Haha. That thing still rips after all these years. I gave it to my son for Christmas after I came across a MINT 2008 372xp OE. To be honest I already miss the 365 special. It keeps right up with my 372OE at just 2mm smaller bore. This family of saws really is the BEST EVER MADE!

I have a 98 model 371 xp they are incredible saws looking forward to these builds

I bought a 372xp few years ago because it's what faller friends said to. Not disappointed and glad you think the same. First new saw I have ever owned

Tinman, your channel is wonderful. Thank you for inspiring me to work on chainsaws. I enjoyed your porting and 288 Farmertec series quite a lot and am glad to see you are now featuring the 372. I am considering a 372 Farmertec build - mostly for some tinkering practice and will replace some parts OEM from the get-go. My question to you: Which Farmertec saw do you think has the most widely available parts in Canada? I was trying to compare the 440, 460, and 372 - the Husqvarna seems to have a slight edge. Just hoping to pick a model that will be fixable into the future. Thanks again and all the best from Terrace, BC. Clem

You might want to check in and getting the OEM Big Bore Kit that they used for a concrete saw and then Port that out.

My go to is my 036. I would love to start looking at some husky saws and kind of do a hand in hand comparison. Almost positive the ones that run good are my favorite. As far as dolmar goes my father in law has a makita 6410. Real good power for a 60cc saw and I’ll readily admit it outcuts my freshly broken in 036 stihl. That being said I’d still grab the stihl over it because of how much smaller it is and lighter. Seems like a very large saw for 60cc. Seems small when you get to nearly 80cc with that chassis

Funny I picked up 2 2014 xtork 365s one looks mint the other is got every bolt stripped out 2 bolts holding the starter on but runs super good with a brand new walbro carb the guy said it didn't help it but the boot was half off runs like a champ now the minty looking saw got straight gased I split it the other day and crank and wrist pin bearings roasted but jug is perfect so I am going to take 2 and make one with lots of parts left I just got skf bearing in with seals and gaskets not sure what I am doing with a piston pop up or what I am going to build my saw right along with you that will be fun of course I'll pull the side covers and cut the limiters out I want full wrap and big dogs of course I can't cut the base but I got tools for everything else thanks for everything you do for us

I just have the Holtzfforma g372xp I put together. Because as you said, nobody sells them. So I built a play pretend 372. I wanted to see what they're like, & not spend a pile of cash. I hogged out my lower transfers, buckhorned the intake, tossed the cyl base, & put a fish gill opisite the pipe. I ovaled, & polished the exhaust, but left it alone @ 102° otherwise. Int 76°, 26° blowdown. I have about 5 mins on it since. But as you know, it's a different saw now. I originally assembled it bone stock, besides chamfering the ports, & piston. I wanted to see if I could leave it alone. Ya know, it was...Mehh. Very, Very torquey, yes. But slow on the snap, & kinda punky @ wot. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. But knew I'd have to dig inside, & do the tweaks. It floats in my hands, it's almost bizarre how comfortable it is. Sorry, I'll wrap it up. Um, I did scratch the con rod with my file. They are still a bit soft. So I'm glad I didn't go crazy on my porting. That's funny about Charlie with the shot. She's so cute, & happy. I miss my kids when they were littles. Sorry for the story book. Have a good week guys.

The 268 is a good solid 162 chassis saw. If it's an XP or a Special it's a closed port saw, and a bit stronger than a 266 out of the box, if it's just a plain 268 it's an open port saw, and while it isn't going to set the world on fire, it is a good solid reliable 66cc saw on the same pro chassis as the XP and 272.
