For the most part the 372 is easy to work on with the exception of the fuel line which I fought with for 1/2 hr., till I decided to slice the end of the line at a steep angle so I could get it into the hole enough to fetch it with a pair of needle nose. I'm sure there are easier ways which I'd like to hear about.
Also, the jug, muff and carb will come off and go back on as a complete unit, but I guess most here knew that already.
I also noticed that the throttle cable can stretch and/or wear the plastic parts they are mated to, thus preventing WOT, so I replaced the plastic parts on the carb and got WOT.
It's a bit of a struggle to re & re the fuel tank even when the threaded pin is removed. Any tricks there?
The oil pump is easy to remove and replace if the brass feed pipe is lifted out of it's recess as a unit. It is often covered with goo which gives the impression it's inbedded into the casing.
I'm living proof I have forgotten more than what I have learned! Lol
If a guy worked on the same saw every day I guess one could be torn down, cleaned and reassembled in two hrs. I just did two 372's and they took 3 -4 hrs. each.,without splitting the crankcase, although I could have spent more time cleaning them than what I did.
