Yeah that helps to. Less pulls less wear and tear

I only purge mine when cold starting after its warm i see no need to.

A good running engine dont need them. But it does save on recoil parts

It isn't a question of need - but they can save you many pulls if the saw has been sitting for a while - or you have run the tank dry.

They are more useful on small saws than on large ones (it really is about the carb size).

True. Most my saws also have short fuel lines from empty it only takes a couple pulls. But my crapsman strato is a different story. Its not a great saw to begin with.

.404 is a mean chain

I just remembered the biggest reason I switched to 3/8 chain. I can't remember the numbers, but the bar was for a gauge of .404 chain that was hard to find. It came with a couple extra chains that was a little thicker. It looked like someone started trying to grind out the groove in the bar so the thicker chain would fit. Also, all the chain was full comp, instead on skip chain. I ran a couple tanks through it and I had the problem of having to baby it in the cut, or it would jam up with chips to the point of having to loosen the chain to work them out from under the drive links and in the drive sprocket. It didn't have enough room for chip clearance. I think one, if not both of the new chains are square ground. Nice stuff, but it would be hard for me to sharpen anyway. The saw was advertised as "Walkerized", and has the muffler for it, but I'm not sure it had any port work done. It is a very powerful saw. There was also an 8 pin sprocket on it, which I didn't care for. I wanted a 36 inch bar anyway and I wanted the whole setup to be easy to get parts for and maintain. That being said, I have nothing against .404 chain.

I have several .404 chains - I think they are nice even on
not so very big saws - but most likely I am wrong as usual

I haven't updated this thread since scoring a 350 off ebay, so here goes the updated collection:

 

[gaspipe]

Had the 385 and the 394 out today for a little cutting, and then a good spring clean up.

Some recent Husqvarna acquisitions...

 

[KYsawman]

My latest husqvarna.

 

[Rx7man]

I just added a 61 gray top to the lineup... so I have 4 running 65's and a 61, probably a 77 to join up soon... and a 480 I'm saw-sitting for a buddy

 

[Boozer]

My only one....for now. 181se

I honestly think the 372xp/371xp's are one of the most appealing saw designs to date... even better with the wrap handle also
And it's good that they're a great saw too, makes it that much more attractive when they look good and preform just as well

Agree, great saws. The one above sure is purdy, mines not so clean but it's seen some work

3120XP and 372XP I picked up last week at an estate sale. Got them both for less than a decent used 372 costs normally.
