Here’s the video of what the saws are doing. It started after I took the oil pump off to look for worn parts due to a small leak. The clutch was on a little tight so I had to throw some starter cord in the cylinder to keep it from spinning and ended up breaking the clutch and getting it off. I replaced the clutch and put everything back together. It will start just fine and high and low idle but with heavy smoke; almost like it's not getting enough air. It won't rev up and even weirder it won't shut down with the choke switch. I removed the choke switch and it had continuity. I checked the air gap for the ignition module and checked it in spec. I removed the carburetor, cleaned the best I could (ultrasonic cleaner) and scoped the bore to check for gouges or damage. Everything checks out… I can only assume it is an auto-tune problem or carb? The air filter is brand new and does the same thing with or without the filter.
I'm thinking of just throwing a new carburetor on it to see if that's all it is but they're kind of pricey. The only other thing I can think of is to pull the jug and see if there is something in the lower intake ports that fell in and is clogging the port... I blew them both out though and seemed like they were ok... I am at a loss here. This is the first time I've had a single issue with this saw
Also.. the 372 and 572 clutches are interchangeable, right? They appear identical
