372xp bogs

[Jeff J Greilich]

I bought an older 372xp that bogged down after the guy put in a new p&c. He couldn't figure it out and just sold it to me. I figured it was the carb, so I rebuilt it. Same thing....it starts and idles fine but won't take throttle.

What could other issues be? What should I change next?

Replace all the rubber lines. Well, look them over for wear at least.

makes you wonder,,if he left out the base gskt,,and if so, did he use a sealer???

Most likely the reason he rebuilt is was a lean burn down, you better find out why. Clogged carb, metering lever, fuel line , air leak, If it doesn't get richer when you open the low I'd check the fuel supply first. Steve

Thanks guys. I'll order some lines for this saw. Does the 372xp have an impulse line?

Also, I am wondering when this saw was manufactured....can we tell by the serial number ?

One more thing..... he rebuilt it because the spark plug was cross-threaded into the cylinder, and it ended up blowing the spark plug out through the top cover

Yes, it has an impulse line
38th week of 2007

Well, the fuel line looks good, and so does the impulse line. :-(

Classic air leak symptom for sure, keep digging you will find one. Transfer port covers? Base gasket, like was mentioned earlier? Fuel filter plugged?
Just thoughts.......

Water in the gas can accumulate in the filtre. If so try some methle hydrate or change filtre if you haven't already.
As mentioned, back out L to see if that makes a diff.

May want to check the coil, had one doing that last week, would start right up and idle but would not take throttle at all.
