    re-building my 362/372 xp hybrid

    3120xp vs 880 Magnum???

    It would depend on what size sprocket and also what bar and chain combos that you are talking about. I have 2 ported Solo 681's that I think would smoke either saw with the same 24" B&C full-comp and 8pins for all but put a 9pin on the 681's and they are going to start or will lose their...

    you have to push the spring back far enough to flip the linkage the other way . and yes the oiler is driven by the clutch drum . On the brake linkage you can also pull out one of the pins that hold the linkage together then push the spring back and replace the pin but makes it goes all the way...

    046 BBK from Northwoods... Thoughts?

    I agree use a Stihl wrist pin, wrist pin bearing and C-clip and you will be fine also make sure you get a Nikasil lined cycinder I know that Bailey's are and also Northwoodsaws. I have heard good things about the Northwoods kits .
