JJ and Jasha - what years came with the rev limiting coil? Anyway to tell coils apart visually? I have an '05 71cc version. Thanks, Josh

Just call Madsen's. They told me the Husky still puts on the blue ignition, but sells the black non rev as a replacement.

I am pretty sure the changed the porting on the 75cc jug, before putting it into a chainsaw - it was not a back-yard operation........

Some of the saw builders like to use the cut off saw top end over the stock 75cc p&c.

371bb
I just put a 372 BB kit in my buddy's 371. It was blowed sky high when I got it.....it was toast. The dealer wanted $800.00 to rebuild it. I told him....hey just give it to me I can rebuild it for half the price. So I got the BB kit and put in it...and I left the base gasket out and checked the squish before I put it together.....and it was at .024 all four corners....so I left it go at that. After I put the saw back together and tuned it up...and put it through it's first heat cycle....I let it cool and ported the muffler. And I'm tellin' ya...that saw WILL out run a stock 385 with a 20" bar.....it's got he11ish torque......and it doesn't even have the rings even close to seated yet. It only has about a tank of gas through it....I have it set at 13,000 right now....she's gonna break in real nice and easy, lol....then it's gonna go to 13,800....lol:greenchainsaw:

I'm pretty sure it's stronger than my 7900.

i can't compare my 372xpw to any of the newer ones because i have never ran one. but my 372 made in 1999 will pull a 32 inch bar though hardwood no problem. I mainly use the 20inch bar but the 32 inch bar does quite well. After hanging around here for the past month i will soon be able to pull the 32 inch bar a little better. 
here is some big maple we cut last week. about 36 inches

All I got to say is. Between my 372XPW and my buddies stock 372XP. I really can't tell no difference. I like mine better because of the full wrap and full dog set. Both are good preforming saws though.

My Dad always said, you can learn a lot by watching someone that knows their business, work. By the looks of that video, look like Tree Sling'r, know his business.

pretty sure, although i am no expect by any means. I never seen the tree standing but it was identical to the 3 standing next to it and they were maple.
He sure does. Every cut is precise. He makes it look like there is nothing to it. That to me is the sign of an expert.
385
Yep...but my 385 is far from stock...lol IMO....the 371 has the rpms on the 385...but if you would slap a 24" on her I bet the tables would turn real quick....:greenchainsaw:

After market stuff the poster saying they were junk.
I agree on some stuff the quality lacks I got a coil bad
was sent another that worked about an hour and then bad!
I put a good used one on and been going ever since but
my bb kit seems to be cutting the mustard have you had
issues with them? I guess it is no big deal if it goes bad
I still have a very good original piston and cylinder and
could just swap it but I like the added power of the extra
displacement.

I've got some big bore kits that are holding up well, even after a couple of years worth of use. I've been happy with them.
