    372xp leaking oil at WOT

    A lot of guys see that as poor oiling and many actually blame the bar. I’ve seen guys stupid enough to change bars because of it. When the rails get real wet oil will sling off your sprocket like it does your bar tip. When brushing out bush a 372 with it’s Oiler maxed out will make a mess even...

    Tygon size?

    All I have available to me is tygon and a similar line branded oregon. I’ve had so many lines do the same that I’m tempted to say they are both junk although i don’t remember actually checking the brand after they turned slimey.

    husky 385 muffler mold help

    This is how I’ve been doing the huskies. Deeper less pingy sound and less noticeable by forestry pencil pushers. Here’s how I was doing them but they take to much time. If you need to ask I would imagine your looking for an easy mod. The easiest by far is to remove the muffler with the...

    One link too short?! MS460 bar and chain fit issues

    If you grab the tip with a glove on and force it to turn it should walk the rest of the way on. Run it for a tank and it’ll be stretched enough to fit easy the next time.

    Husqvarna discontuing 3120?

    It’s gonna happen sooner or later. The thing with husky is they’ve been working on a saw we know about for a long time. To me, it’s pathetic how long they have taken but Wouldn’t that be something if they released a bunch of saws starting next year. If I knew they spent all this time testing a...

    Stihl 026: Idle Speed Too High

    Without any info? I get what you saying about some but that ain’t me. He says he’s got his damn idle screw backed out with his L set correctly and it’s still idling high. If the springs were the problem he would have no problem killing the thing with turning his idle down. It’s also not...

    Trade my husquvarna 440 for a stihl 034 ?

    Is there something wrong with your 440? Going to an 034 isn’t an upgrade at all lol I could have a 440 in need of rebuild and I wouldn’t trade it for a running 034!

    When to replace top end

    I leave fuel in my saws. When I go to use next I dump and put fresh in if they’ve sat to long. I’ve had spare saws sit 2 years, swap the fuel and they run fine. Recently though I’ve been running a lot of company fuel which is typically what they can get cheap. Aka **** lol I notice that if I...

    Stihl 026: Idle Speed Too High

    When you say perfect H/L I assume you mean they are set to what the covers says to set them too? Those are baseline numbers that require fine tuning but it should run good there. If it doesn’t You can add fuel by turning out the L screw while running which should bring idle down. This is only a...

    When to replace top end

    If guys actually saw what these saws go through under professional use they would realize they stand no chance of actually wearing one out for a legitimate reason even at 50:1. It’s usually bad gas that gets a weekend cutter.

    Husqvarna 572 coming to a store near you!!!

    It’s to late for me. Husky have sat on their ass to long over this saw. I’ve been on a bunch of jobs I could have justified a 572 but instead kept running old 372’s waiting and waiting and waiting. They’ve made a joke of themselves! Stihl has released their entire lineup and are now on to the...

    What causes a guide bar to chip bits off near the sprocket?

    I’ve welded on a bunch of bars to repair rails and even had them last. To weld sections of bars to other bars might call for a new bar though lol This issue is sounding like a chain to loose and in potential need of help. When cutting with bottom of bar any looseness in the chain will chatter...

    Want to Buy Huztl wants to buy a Husky 288xp

    i almost bought a 372 kit when they were $110, $80 shipping was the deal breaker, then i thought of all the problems i had just using the parts on OEM saws and snapped out of it. i still have a brand new 372 recoil that failed after 2 tanks. i went to start it for the third and the recoil...
