Chainsaw Repair

Here are two different examples a 372 on the left and a 371 on the right. it appears that the bend to the right in the brass tube is there to make room for the carb boot clamp. looking at an assembled saw the previous statement appears to be correct. I do not know the heat expansion coefficient of brass vs magnesium but I would think that you could lose the tube when putting the cases in the oven to remove and replace main bearings, which has never happeened to me.
