    Fact is the problems you had are pretty basic and anyone that's been around saws for any amount of time can fix them... the fact you couldn't is telling.

    The 55 back in the day had a great reputation. Bulletproof saw and although not a pro saw it was constructed like one. The fact you had issues with one is telling. The 372 likewise has a sterling reputation. The fact you had issues with both tells you are either FOS or don't know the first...

    I suspected as much. I can't say I've ever laid eyes on a Syihl dual port 660/066 muffler, but my 440 had a dual port factory cover on it. It made a small differance, but not a huge one. Of course the dual port cover only had a pretty small slit for the outlet.

    I probably should just hold my tongue, but these brand loyal retards that make comments like " I ran a Husky once and the darned thing blew up" get really old. I currently have only Stihl saws, but I am also smart enough to realise that Husky makes a great saw too. That and back in the day the...

    Bar oil...

    That's a very cheap price on Belray.

    So what was different on the Aussie models? Just a quick Google mentions they came with a dual port cover and Maybe a slightly bigger carb jet. Anything else?

    One other comment. The majority of the guys mentioning Stihls of the era we are talking being more reliable and better perfoming than Huskys have never worn out a saw in their lives nor run one all day for years on end

    Yes, a 390 will put cut a 660 and in spades. The 660 may have been the biggest boat anchor of the stihl line at that time. Ported they ran decent, but stock they were dogs.

    I ran 4 372's when I was logging and had very little issues with them. I also ran a Stihl 440. Again very little issues, but lasted no longer than the 372's. Also had a early Dolmar 7900. Didn't make it through it's first season before I spun it off. Which model Huskies did you run, what were...

    Stihls saws of that era are maybe marginally more reliable. They also ran like crap in stock form compared to a Husky. Along with much more vibration to the hands and crappier filtration.

    Stihl MS361 - Need help choosing a good carb

    I used on on a tOro snowblower recently. Quality was decent visually, but I did need to drill out the main jet a step to get it to run right.

    The stihl046 are antiquated and the limiting factor is the windows in the pistons. In no way do they compare to a Huskt 4 transfer XP cylinder of the same vintage. And also why they never ran like a Husky in hardwood.

    Dolmar 7910 vs RedMax GZ 7100

    No, it's not that other way around. The 7100 is a Husky design. It was based off the Husky 371, which became the 372/Jonsered 2171 and then the 372XT. The 372 predated the Redmax deal by a good many years. Husky's interest in buying Redmax was to gobble up their patents, which pretty much had...

    Thr 046/460 had the antiquated cylinder fed transfers.

    Stihl Flippy Cap solution

    If guys would learn to not over fill their oil tanks they wouldn't have problems.

    That remains to be seen. Initial version did need the cases strengthened. Same thing happened to the 371XP, which after being strengthened became the 372XP.

    It really doesn't have a traditional question loop transfer set up. It's more like 2 transfer duct inlets and 4 outlets.

    Gasket Material

    Grafoil works great for exhaust gaskets as well.
