WOW ! What would cause this !
Use some really nasty solvents and give it some good heating to burn out as much oil as possible before applying whatever sealant.What concerns me about this crack is that it's in the bar mount area and sees some stresses. I'm not sure you'd want to split the cases, but the best fix would be from inside. Drill small holes at both ends of the crack, bevel the crack a little, rough up real good around it, and then JBWeld it. I did a similiar repair to a 015 and my BIL is still using it.
One possible to use in a fine crack like this is Locktite. Seap it in and seal with some tape for a while, Locktite hardens from lack of air.
Be sure and post how you fixed this or didnt, would really be curious !
i think it may have had a little work done to it. ;)
I think the 365s will be ok. Just needs to be a 50mm topend.Unless it has the smaller capasity Zama carb that many of them came with.
I think I'm going to get in on the porting fun too, I've gotta make a couple calls to see if I can scrounge up a pile of parts to make into a 372/371/2171/362/365/2071/2163 saw. It should be interesting to see what sort of stuff shows up at that GTG.
Guys asking me for a 50mm 372. I have plenty but hard to conform to the rules that have been set.
Some of my saws have red in them, some have 362 365 tags, some have BB on 372 and 372xpg tags, some are already ported. But I do have plenty of 50mm stock tops and crankcases they could go on. Just replace the tags with a 372xp tag. Husky tags are known to come off and get lost. ;)
Few I have left.

Willard, what would be the advantage of just using that single ring?Advantage of the single ring is less friction making higher rpm. The disadvantage is durabilty and a slight gain of crankcase volume but the added rpm / hp makes up for the difference, especially if only used for a short chainsaw race.
371/2 prolly the best saws ever built?
Tempted????? I'd be hounding the poor guy non stop! :D
that is a purdy saw right there. 8)
I just press them out with my vise and 2 sockets. Works great. Have pressed them in with it also.Do you still have to throw them in the oven Art?

372 The only complaint is when heavy bucking the chips don't clear from the sprocket cover well enough and the chain jams up solid in the bar rails and sprocket nose, and it takes a bit of rubbing the chain back and forth on the log to free the chain up. Does any one else have this problem?

I had bought some covers from Outlaw at one time and these are his pics.
Hello Niko its good to talk to you again. Yes I have proven to myself that my 272XP noodles much better with its outboard clutch then my inboard 372XP.Quote from: Cut4fun2 link to talk topic=3.msg9657#msg9657 date=1339080693wide 537331001372xpg isn't an ideal noodler with the stock cover, so I have to get one of those I guess, to see if it helps. ;)

The design of the chain adjuster on the 372xp may be a larger issue regarding noodling than the inboard clutch - just a thought, but it has been "rotating" in my mind for several years..... ;DWell I gotta say the superior balance and handling of the 272XP far out weighs what little disadvantage it's front mount adjuster screw offers.
I wanted to give it a little exercise as it has had a new ring in it recently and has not been used. I figure when I get ready to really use it that it will be used hard.
Finally found a large mount husky 20" Germany made Carlton bar for my last 372, like the small mount one for my 362.I got a couple of those bars too Kevin, got them from Baileys real cheap. But look close at the bar nose joint and you will probably see where the bar was ground down to match the tip, probably why they blew them out cheap.
Left small mount 362. Right large mount 372.
I could help you out with another one of the small mount 20" Carlton bars. 8)
Is that one of the earlier open port saws? Looks like a bolt on intake.

Early, around 1997...............Roanoker494 did one a while back and had/has it for sale.
And ....................now I see the clamp!! :D
Some people just don't know how to (or care enough to) property pack a saw...

I'm just a middleman helping a friend get a saw that was owed him. Hopefully it isnt busted up in box.

I don't like being the middle man in situations like that. Been in a few awkward spots that way....
I've received some VERY poorly packed saws and bars too (as well as many superbly packed saws and bars).
Does it without and with bar.
Other ideas given me in CR group was transfer covers might be leaking if they were removed and other carb not on right as one guy has seen that.
So will see when I get to this one.
Here is what it is doing. My guess mix puddling in intake. Then when picked up flooding it? Idle all day and runs great in the cuts. Set down idle all day. Go to pick it up and starts to stumble and then will shut off. Reason for me thinking puddling in intake till picked up. Ideas?
The o-ring is shown on the ipl.
Funny, but I've had some guys tell me that the o-ring doesn't really need to be there. Guess they think that it's too small to be important. Wouldn't be in the design if it wasn't important.
I also think the clone saws don't have that o-ring as they also don't have the red sleeves for the carb bolts. Both are problems waiting to happen.
The white ones look better than the blue ones, that's for sure. Have you measured the compression on it yet? The early ones just wouldn't wake up unless you got the gasket out of there.
They are getting closer, but at $400+ also closer in price. But a new 372XT is up to a grand now, so still a deal in a way. I'll bet they'll sell a boat load of those carbon fiber top and side covers once they start listing them as spare parts. They'd look sharp on an orange saw.
One thing we were discussing in the store yesterday is that some users are going to look at these saws if for no other reason than the lack of availability of the real ones. Especially stihl as they have been hit harder than Husky.
Short block heaven right there! I can't run the big powerhead saws too long myself. My Jonsered 920/930 saws usually get the nod when something bigger than 70cc is needed. I get that big saws are cool and macho, but for guys doing tree work, there are some small saw models that they don't want to let go of. 346 for sure, and for guys old enough to remember them, 242's. Farmertec seems to ignore most of the smaller Huskys. Was the 272 really something everyone was waiting for? A 262 on the other hand would hit a different market segment and probably be a home run for them. :)
