i love my 2001 372 xp! New main bearings, cylinder and case gaskets, seals, carb kit, fuel filter, air filter, sproket, chain and bar! It rocks! Ready for more 17 years! :)

Awesome movie Walt. Thank you so much.

Thanks for the informative video and all the info about the X Torx mods.I'll put it to use very soon.

Bingo, I cranked my clone 660, today. Tomorrow may be a different story but I cranked it, today, without it beating me to death. I ran it for 20 minutes and fine tuned the carb a bit - idle, 2570; WFO 12,900, where I set them two months ago. All with good acceleration. Thanks for your assistance and guidance.

Excellent vid.

Good job...worth the view..

You sure made that throttle trigger reassembly look much easier than it really is.

Actually after a few times, its pretty easy.....but that first few! What a pita!

Nice one il be doing all of this to mine at the weekend as mine doesn’t idel how I’d like it to I’ve just rebuilt it and it hasn’t change to much

What size ID pipe do you use or recommend for the muffler mod? I have a 365 xtorq I would like to take the baffles out of the transfers and do a muffler mod to. Great video and Happy New Year

Hey Walt, do you know which one of your videos covers the oil pump on a 372? I've looked through your vids and cant find one. Specifically which way that sleeve and thin shim go and what seals the pump to the pickup hose. If you remember, I asked you a few things a few days ago about a nonoiling 372. My problem was someone turned the adjuster all the way out beyond the wire clip and then turned it back on on the end of the shaft which stripped the plastic threads right off of the worm gear.

I'm doing some tree clearing work on my land in the Hudson Valley with my Husky 365 X-TORQ. I'm going to do a muffler mod, remove the transfer port cover restrictors and possibly base gasket delete depending on the squish from the factory. What size tube do you recommend using for the muffler mod? Thanks!

It acts like the low idle jet or flow holes are stoped up bc it wont hit a lik of idle but csrb is ment clean an iv gotta check crank Bush seals next

Got it covered :) Prolly in the video

I have a 372 that is bogging severely at full throttle then dies when you let off the gas. Not fuel line or filter is not carberator or muffler issues what else would cause that ? Air leak ? What are symptoms of a air leak ?

When I saw your pants on the work bench under the saw I thought isnt it winter in NY? Why is Walt working in the shop with no pants on? lol Great job on the build. Did you run the blue limited coil?

Yup, I haven't been shooting for more RPM's so really don't see a need for the black coil yet.

Hi Walt, I have a older 350 is it possible to be an air leak if it goes full throttle as soon as it starts? Great compression, piston is in excellent shape, I put new base gasket and metal clamp no change. Any advice would help. Thanks

Check to see if that throttle linkage lets the throttle close? Check the throttle plate? Pull it apart and see.

Is the x torq cylinders not nikasil plated, if so how did you hone it without wearing through the plating?

Just as you saw it, and that didn't get through the plating. Done it for years.

Hey Walt... Do you need a special compression tester or can i use my snap on tester for cars? What is a good Compression reading for a saw? I have an Echo CS 3000 with 125 is that too low?

@afleetcommand

5 жыл бұрын

Compression is compression. My "tester" s for Automotive applications. The only thing is it will read a few lbs low because of the "volume" in the hose that goes from the plug hole to the gauge...air IS a compressible fluid! So it's good for a "ball park". A Saw will run in that 125 range. Rather see in the 140 range. But remember with such a small cylinder if you have a set up like mine, that might be a low readings and the actual compression might be closer to 130..:) Still lower than you want, but should run.

Would you go ahead and gut the boot and filter housing on a brand new 372?

@afleetcommand

4 жыл бұрын

I would, but it really depends on your skill set and focus. So that isn't a recommendation for everyone else. The later than 2017 versions ran pretty well right out of the box. The gains by modifying would feel "incremental" and might disappoint if you are looking for a transformation level change. So you would ask why would I do that change? Because it's easy for me to accomplish, just an hour or two, and along with a muffler mod and a few other things the saw runs incrementally better....in my way of judging that. And while that difference may not be worth the effort to some it is to me on my saws.

you didnt take the divider out of the carb? if its out of the air horn and boot does that matter so much?

Can you just remove the base gasket and do no other mods to compensate for that and have it run just fine?

You would be better off to hook a 390 back up to that carburetor:).

The title was pure click bait for saw groupies like myself. The saw shops that I use try to talk us into building it back to an xp. We are all so glad these 372 x torqs are going away.
