372 xpw 75cc, 372xp 71cc

[Evan]

why is the xpw with full wrap handle 75cc. just kinda curious i was lookin through my husky book at the specs and was kinda blown away ive seen mention of some 372s being 75cc but didnt no it was because of the handle. why would this model get alittle more grunt then the regular 372.

just kinda thinkn outloud.

thanks
Evan

I've searched and searched and never come up with a solid "Thats Why" answer. I'm still scratching my head. SAW TROLL you out there?

It's a 'western' model meant for professionals running long bars in bigger wood.

That would be the only reason that I could come up with as well. I can tell you this, they are a great saw though. :greenchainsaw:

So the extra few cc's has nothing to do w/ making up for added emissions?

That's a part of it. They get credits in their lines for so many 'dirty' engines in different displacement classes. So bumping up the 372XPW moved that model into a different category. The 'western' model has basically been around since in the introduction of the 371XP, but Husqvarna engineers working in the field with falling contractors found that the number one request was for more displacement.

Does anyone know what diameter the 75cc piston is? I wonder if it is size of the Baily BB kit?

[Jacob J.]

75cc piston= 51.4mm, BB piston=52mm.

I have a model year 2000 372XP. This is so tempting. Any experience with the BB kit. My experience with motocycles is the porting suffers with an overbore.

2009 lists both models as 75cc

Can't do any better than that............

i think the 372 75cc will be in the line up for a few years.71 cc was dropped after 08 along with the 575. 576 replaces 71 cc 372 and 75cc model stays alongside the 576 atleast for awhile

I was told by my local dealer that the 372 was NOT being dropped from the lineup anytime soon. Unfortunately when I bought my 372 last month I had to settle for the 71cc model. That's OK though. I still love this saw.

The 75cc version still is on the US web-site, the 71cc one is not......

This 372xpw came from Bailey's in the last week before they stopped on-line sales. I want to get a Johnsered saw now and put a 75ccc p/c in it. Just not sure if it's going to be a 2171 that gets the mod.

That's a pretty short bar on that 372. Are you running an 8 pin on that? I'd bet she'd pull an 8 pin pretty well with a 20" bar (or whatever length that is).

I recall a very reputable saw builder (E_H_P) mentioning that the 75cc XPW has a lot more potential than the 78cc Bailey's BB kit. The main reason behind this observation was that the head volume of the XPW p/c was much smaller so you get much better compression than with the Bailey's BB kit.

That being said, I freshened up an old 365 with a Bailey's BB kit, bumping it up to 78cc, and the saw kicked a$$. Then I saw some racing results from up north and realized that Timberwolf could get even more out of this set up.

So, I sent him my saw. Now, it's about all I can do to hang onto this thing while it sinks a 28" bar through red oak with an 8 pin. It's just crazy!

(full disclosure: I cut firewood with square ground chain.)

So they have dropped the 71cc model does that mean the only 372 available is the 372xpw? or do NON "W" 372xp's now have the 75cc cylinder aswell? Or if you want the non western model do you have to settle for the 576?

 

[Evan]

2009 catalog shos the reg 372 xp as being 75cc, no 71 cc listed. looks like all model 372s are still there there just all 75cc now.
stil have 372 xp
372xpw
372xpg

 

[gonecountry]

I'd really like to get a 75cc 372 but its hard to justify right now, the mill thats been takin my logs is closed down for 5 weeks.

My local dealer has tons of 372xp's in stock. He can't sell them because everyone wants Stihl.
