Just another junk chainsaw

Wow! Is that some sort of a liner inside that yellow tube?

Yep, to try and make last longer against ethanol users. They come rated good for 20% etc etc etc. But IMHO the epa lines are a fail.

I like using OEM echo lines when I can.

I even use it in place of oem molded lines. Saves time and money for owners if that dont mind the switching.

Most stuff is plastic

Then your looking at the cheaper saws. Most Pro grade saws have mag metal crankcases.

Compare showing crankcases. Plastic 290 311. Mag crankcase like a 400 and 036-360.

Older local showed up with a unopened Farmertec box yesterday. I had him order it from a trusted dealer I deal with in MT.

So I sold him a bar and got paid labor rate to finish putting together and start and check over and tune.

Well worth the 364 shipped for the G372xp pro ones that come with meteor topends cylinder piston and walbro carb etc.

Fired right up. Easy money.

It sounds like a nice machine as you mention and the engine at 5hp is a nice number. But the reviews on Amazon for low quality are pretty harsh on the saw. Just items that can be a pia like loose screws, broken oilers and small items.

Most owners have no clue how to set up a saw. Most amazon sells I would bet 99% true.

Let alone should own one and use one and give it maintenance. JMO

I owned a few of those and the pro version of 372 is the way to go in 372's

OEM OE 372, G372xp pro and G444 440

Dealer took one apart to show meteor piston and caber ring. Another of a guy porting one.

Other pics of one I owned till local traded in for it.

Just ordered a G372XP, will go through it once it gets here. I've had good luck with parts for Husky from Farmertec. If it works it will worth a bit of effort. My saws now are all 15+ years old and it's time to try something bigger.

Which one 372? The regular ones have a cheaper p+c and sometimes carbs that wont hold a tune. So GL.

Ones I tried on the regular had big squish and lower psi from get go. I didnt have any carb issues myself. But I know how to troubleshoot and tune.

But a local guy said the newer ones in regular been better.

I caught the blue saw on sale 50% off, at well under $200 shipped I have some room to make changes as required. I'm not at your level but been a wrench turner all my life. I can tune and have tools required. I may get beat up but I could install the new top end parts and still be ahead. I figure I'll run it and go from there......

Forgot I picked this up before I had to do that guys G372xp pro. 1983 266 SE before they went XP later on.

Lost track how many husqvarna 266 I bought to flip now. Coarse thread clutch that is hard to find.

Missing some parts and seller kept the muffler bracket on me. Wasnt as shown but dont care. Just for parts or quick flip.

Pretty clean with some scoring started.

Got a good laugh. Couldnt figure out why bar studs were loose when looked over quickly. Figured typical worn case.
But no the guy didnt have the studs in right lined up inside tank. Took care of that yesterday for next owner.

Good saw. Used to have a 266se before it was stolen about 15 years ago. Had it and my 7900 dolmar. Both stolen.

The 266 was a good runner for an old saw.

They had several different combo's pistons, mufflers, cylinders, prob carbs never checked, I noticed over the years. Owned a first year one and a later xp ones.

Couple of the others.

My fav in that 66.7 cc size has been my jonsered champ though.

 

[xyz123]

You know you want it.

I had always heard the early 36cc poulan saws were indeed 36cc. Not 42cc. So I bought this one with the other plastic one I wanted just to see if so.

Measured bore and stroke yesterday and it is 36cc. Type 1-5 by IPL is 36cc by ring used and 6 up was then 42cc.

Most of the plastic poulans I had over the years that would say 35cc 38cc were all 42cc. So I just always thought the early 36cc would be same.

This one 1999 Type-2 Poulan 2175 wild thing. I always liked the 2375 42cc one the best of all the wild things. If had to have one.

 

[xyz123]

Another one of those plastic saws 46cc by poulan like the plastic stihl 025 250. But can get them cheap because of the name and folks have no clue about the same.

Picked up dirt cheap not running right past owner said. Betting just needs fuel line and carb cleaned out. Filter was off inside tank.

Just to flip like I do the 025 250 or part out if not.

 

[xyz123]

We were talking about open port designs in my group.

Check out how close the poulan 60cc and husky 66 268 are.
