Ryan, did you use after market?
Yes sir..its held up fine to semi-commercial use.
13.6 mike. you gotta get that 576 out of your head
I thought it was 13300 too shane.
Bad advice. just saying. You have been informed. So...I've done my part. It's always a game of statistics.
( Some times wonder if other brand "Trolls" lay that stuff out... I would post a pic or two of x-torq cases & cylinders after a life of 13,7 love. To get there with stock components you have to go really lean....but that doesn't help the brand )

For 365/372 X-torqs; 13K is a good number. They are limited at 13,300 stock and winding them up with an unlimited coil might be great for GTG fun, but will get expensive and frustrating for the guy who works that saw.
Wonder if you guys are seeing different coils on them state side. All the XT's I've worked on had 13.6k coils like the later OE's. 576 has the 13.3k coil here. Actually the one I have now is from state side and has a 13.6k coil on it. Factory
Are the bottoms as bad as people say ?
I know how to use them..i could care less to do the wrenchin..i hate it sometimes.

if you want a 2166 buy it,i own one and did have starting problems, and a few other problem, im not one of these guys that say buy this saw and make it into another-just hone cylinder-grind out muffler and WAM YOU GOT A 2171, I KIKE TO KEEP THEM STOCK [FOR THE MOST PART,i will say my new 365 husky same hrs power, weight,very similar in many ways,i do prefer the 365 Husky ,they are not a fancy saw -older tech, but cut like hell,to many people say buy this saw, modify the engine to cut like a saw with 8 cc more,or the new jonsered 2260 same as huskys 562xp-hight teck .light and cut FAST I USED BOTH,I reallyLIKE TO STAY ON JUBJECT OF SAW ASKED ABOUT, if money is an issue the 2166 sred is 699, I bought a new husky 365 for 575,the dealer said everyone pro buys the 272 [I have 2] or the 562xp,around 760 dollors,owning both a 2166 and a 365, if one got ran over by my dozer I would buy the 365, [its really the same as the 272] just my opinon,I don't have a problem with guys that modify, buy why not just buy the chainsaw your trying to mimick,keeping them stock helps with warrenty also, the echo 680 is close and I like to pump oil on the chain when its hot and im cutting a 28inch oak,and never have a problem with the echos, good luck on your purches,I hope my info was helpful,

I know a few guys running them with the unlimited coil tuned leaner then anyone here would like. Running the cheapest **** oil available to I might add LOL. In the beginning years of the XT I saw a few saws that actually spun the PTO side main in the case but that problem seems to have been rectified on the newer saws. I personally have never had a crank failure on any of my 372's. I've blown a big end in a 385 and a 390 though. My buddy Byron tried a walkerized XT with an unlimited coil and it lasted a year. That was with walkers tuning too so you can bet she was turning some RPM's. Crank was still mint when the top end decided it had enough.

I bought one over the 2172 just for the extra $200 in my pocket. I really liked it. Never had any real problems in the two years I had it other than it went through three stop switches. Why idk, but I kept an extra in my box when I went out.

Funny thing as I'm reading this. The on/off switch went bad on my Jonsered handheld blower today.

hey wise ass I got a new computer and it don't stick, the old one would jump all over the site,now don't ever get wise with me again, I try to help people with simple questions some guys start modifyine the saw right away,they ask about a 455 or 2255 and some guys are selling them a 562xp,i try to stay on topic,Maybe you should be careful where your shooting your pocket pistol and your keyboard wouldn't be so sticky.

Comstock logging supplies in dolgville ny, [up state fixed my 2166 it had a pinched line,now its ran great,they are running a special on them right now 599,99 with 24 inch bar,i might buy another,i was going to buy a cs2260 or 562xp,not sure, I like the light saws,My 2166 was a bear to start cold when it was brand new. I flooded it so bad it still wouldn't start the next day. Took it back to the shop, he pushed the relief valve in and opened the throttle to get some air in it and cranked it over about 20 times. Flipped the switch on and it fired right up the next pull. That's when he told me to throw the choke off after 4 pulls no matter what (pop or not). I've never had it not start since.
Still freaking love it!
Hmm. I thought you were done with this site? Oh well. You'll fit right in with all the other whiny arrogant assholes.
