My 372XP doesn't seem to "settle in" on it carb adjustments. I have a tach and have trouble getting it to precisely 13,500 +/- 200. I'll pull the trigger and get it to rev at 12000 one time, adjust it out, then it runs fine for a few seconds, then press the trigger and it sounds like its bumping the rev limiter. I've tried setting it lower (say 12,700), but then it begins to four cycle too much in the other direction.
No matter what it sounds like when adjusting the carb, it changes seems to have a mind of its own in the wood. I'm adjusting it while its hot after making a number of cuts. I'm going to check the carb later to make sure it's securely fastened, any other ideas?
I'm using good premium gas (with Stabil) mixed with Bailey's 2 cycle mixed 50:1. The saw has about 10 tanks of gas through it, but I've experienced this since day one. I've had saws "wander" over hours or as the filter gets dirty, but not between individual cuts. To be honest, even with my driver on the H adjustment screw, I don't seem to be able to get it to run as smoothly as it should.
