2171 vs 2172

[Mike from Maine]

For a while anyway, until the EPA comes in black helicopters to take all our old saws away...

You mean you don't have a hidden cache of saws buried in the backyard?

I ended up getting the nos 2171. Compared to the 365xt I have it feels slighter lighter. The 2171 seems to compare weight wise to the 440 I purchased about 2 months after the 2171. The 365xt seems to be the strongest of the 3 but the restrictors have been removed, it has a mm, and the cylinder has had some work done to it.

That 365 must run great, if it's what I'm thinking of It's all in where it came from!

That all fits with what could be expected. :wink2:

Some saw hack in Ky did the work on the 365xt, and he did a pretty good job on it.

Some saw hack with a hack saw?

Wait a minute.... the 365xt has only been out for 2 years now..... yours couldn't have come from KY???

It's the same saw, just different color scheme and a couple ounces of weight difference. Jonsered has a straight handle where the Husqvarna has slanted.

My 2172 is wearing the 372bb kit and 2171conversion kit....It runs real good..

If you look at the kit again it's the same part number for both saws. It's a 2171/2172/372 BB kit no difference of performance on either saw. There's no conversion that takes place.

2172 is strato saw ....it can be converted if you have 2171 intake thru p/c

I've yet to see a strato bb kit.

The Husqvarna having the HD air filter would be the only nod i can see, if you need it.

The old style 372 BB kit fits on the bottom end of the strato saws. You just need the carb, intake boot, and p/c off the older style saw to convert it.

Dude you can make a strato 2172 into a regular 2171....If you use the carb, intake,and p/c off the 2171...

2172 has different intake , carb, p/c

2171 parts fit the new 2172

Which would make it not a strato saw. The strato is the intake set up. The BB kits will bolt on any variation of the 372's. But it's not a strato set up.

That is what a strato saw's intake port looks like.

Ok apparently I read it wrong. I thought you were saying that you converted a non strato to a strato with a bb.
