husky help 357 v 372

[angelo c]

guys,
I am not familiar with the Husky lines,( stihls so far ) spent some time trying to familiarize myself with them on thier website. I see that the max revs for the 357 and 372 are vastly different 14k v 9600. I am assuming there is a difference in the cylendar other then the bore and stroke. any ideas? is it as simple as a rev limiter ?
thanks
Angelo

that 9600 rpm figure is the peak torque not max rpm. the 372 has 13500 rpm max and the 357 has 14000 max.

 

[angelo c]

that makes sense, so then I might change the question to read..."why does one peak so much later" then the other ?

Porting of the cylinder and exhaust changes when peak torque comes into effect.

Peak power (hp), not torque.

Peak power is speced at 9600rpm on both, peak torque is at a few thousend rpm lower - but doesn't make much difference if the saw is suited to the task at hand with modern saws, even though high low-end torque give you a better margin for errors in that regard.

I thought I was reading the charts wrong but it doesn't have a "Max recommended speed" for the 372 and does for the 357(14000). Its slow out so I guess I am just splitting hairs. I thought there might be a difference but I guess not, other then CC's.
thanks,
