Darn near the same saw as a 372, except it is non rev limited, has a little less support for the crank, and I think it might just have one ring.

There are lots of 372xp that are not rev limited, it is a pretty new "feature".

The 372 has been made with both one and two ring pistons more or less all the time, for different markets.

The 372 has a side chain adjuster, the 371 a front one - and they say the fuel tank is "semi-transparent" on the 372, but it doesn't work very well.......

I bought a new 372 over a year ago. It stayed in the box until this week. when I took it out it had the non-transparent fuel tank unlike my other newer 372s. Is it possible that Husky used old stock tanks for the return to market 372s, or did they go back to a non transparent tank?
The transparent tank is not a easy to see as the gas a Stihls are, but it worked well enough that I miss it. It is a PITA to not be able to see how much gas I have before starting a felling cut.
In the U S I think only the very earlist 372s where non rev limited, and all the EPA saws had two rings. I don't know about Canada.

I think the last batch of 362XP's I got had non-transparent tanks.

I was told that this tank involves a rather tricky and expensive process and that is why Husky is moving away from it. The difficulty is that everything has to be just right, temperature wise and such, or the tank is too brittle. This also leads to a greater number of tanks that are rejected by quality testers and tossed out. And like a few guys have said, it doesn't work all that well anyway.

I miss my old 371.
I require all of my help to own and maintain their own saws. A guy I know needed a job, but didn't own a saw. I sold him my old 371 for $200 on credit. He worked long enough to pay it off and left.
At least he stayed long enough to pay it off.

I miss my first 371. My dad borrwed it to cut fire wood 2 days after I got it. Some how it got ran over by the skid steer. $380 of my dollars later it was back to new, but slightly different colors. Then it was stolen. I think it was the most expensive saw I have ever owned, for the amount of work that I was able to do with it. It just never got the chance to make its money back.
