Husky 372xp, the queen of all saws!!

[SawWitch]

:rockn: I just fired it up, and ran it trough the obligatory 3 minute + out of wood thing, to "set" the chain (no wood here at the moment).

Easy started, and extremely smooth/ vibration free, are impressions so far + very good ergonomics. :rockn: :rockn:

Less vibes than any of my other saws, and a really nice typical Husky sound..... :hmm3grin2orange: :rockn: :rockn:

Bar and chain off/on is a breeze compared to my Stihl, because of bthe non-stepped bar bolts (not a surprise)......

That's nice to hear, as it was me who made the deal with the somewhat bewildered Santa, who dropped it off a month early......

Troll is your 372xpg rev limited ??
my 372xpg ís that, and my dealer can't order a non limited coil
I'm happy with revs it turning but it would be easier to set up right with out a limiter ,,,,,,

Hi Stang, I know what you mean, so I must take the computor back for a while. I will explain that it wasn't so seriously meant, it was just a joke.:taped:
Excuse me I'll never do it again..... :biggrinbounce2:

Wow, I wasn't serious. LOL.

You beat me to it......

...here is a Workshop Manual from 2000.

Does anyone have a newer one?:Eye: :Eye: :angel:


Owner manuals and IPLs (several from different dates) are on Huskys web-site.

Hi Niko. That is the same one I have. Husqvarna lists it as covering models from 2000 through 2005. You might try to get a hold of Gregg Grande at Bailey's. He has always been very helpful.

Take care.

This tread is fitting to link up here.....


....and this one.

They contain some updates to the 372xp story.

Troll,

I ground off the plastic ears on my 372 carb screws after a muffler mod. The plastic heads aren't very strong and are becoming chewed up and don't hold a screwdriver very well. Any idea if there are metal screw heads beneath the plastic ones and if so the best way to remove the plastic heads.

I noticed one of the earlier posted websites described the carb screws as "caps".

 

[SawWitch]

So.. what's "her " name???

He isn't known to give the saws names......:greenchainsaw: opcorn:

Here is a link for the 372XP manufactured after October 2003. See page 8 of PDF file. The actual carb screws have a lot smaller head than the limiter caps. It will make for a smaller target when you are trying to insert a screwdriver blade into the slot. I think that the caps might also help keep air and debris from being sucked into the air box verses going through the air injection first. You can always get new limiter caps and cut off the offending projections and stick those on.

I have also read that the screws won't hold their adjustment too long if the caps are not on, but I have no personal experience with it........:bang:

My experience is they don't either.... I used to remove the caps totally, but now I trim the plastic ears off. After time though, the plastic srewdriver slot also gets wore very easily.

You best bet would be to find a non EPA carb. I ran into a couple of them at various used saw dealers. They have the metal jets with no limiters on them. I'm not giving these up....lol.

The jets should be interchangable, meaning if you can get the non epa jets, they should fit the "epa" carb. All the ones I have seen all use the same basic carb....

Good info Freak......

I'll post the model #'s of the non epa carbs later. Going to the woods now

I believe they are to be found in the IPLs at Huskys web-site.....

The Walbro HD-6 (not 6B) was in the first 371s, so that one should be a good bet.....

It's no need to ground off the plastic ears on the caps, just flip them out a bit, then us a screwdriver that go into the hole in the caps and you can turn the metal screws, don this on more then one new saw.

I'm just looking forward to the Sawwitch beating the 372 with her newly aquired 361. Clever girl she is..:rockn:
