I bought a used Husqvarna 372XPG

[Jan-Sietze]

I gave myself a present: I bought a used 372XPG.
The price was good, optical condition moderately, but not starting.

I have the saw now almost completely disassembled to do a proper clean.
Do a little port work and of course troubleshooting.









to be continued ...

Looks very nice.... Could be a fun project... What do you use for cleaning the saw...?

 

[Jan-Sietze]

I use Interflon degreaser and Fin clean all, because I can easily get... :msp_smile:

And of course water, lots of water to flush

 

[Jan-Sietze]

Cleaned cylinder and did some port work:
Flush Ports slightly lowered and smoothed, inlet and outlet port widened.

 

[Jan-Sietze]

The rebuilding is fine, it is now waiting for parts ...
So far so good, here are a few pictures:

Wow nice build. I`ll have to try that fin cleaner.

 

[RiverRat2]

Sweet,,,

 

[Giles]

I like the way you apparently clean before disassembly
I never tear anything down before cleaning--why contaminate the insides with dirt:confused2:

 

[Jan-Sietze]

First time started! and he started pulling 5 or 6 times.
Just a few little things and then this 372 XPG ready for use...

[AKDriveSprocket]

Wow turned out nice,good job!

 

[Jan-Sietze]

Help me a little bit, what do you mean the jug?

Fuel tank? is a used part, probably 371 or early 372XP.

 

[SawTroll]

Jug = Cylinder:msp_biggrin:

...or "fun-bag"!

:msp_w00t::hmm3grin2orange:

 

[Jan-Sietze]

Okay, the cylinder is sandblasted, and ported...

:msp_smile:

 

[Jan-Sietze]

Yet another 372XP (2006).

When buying in poor condition.
Not tested, disassembled immediately.


All cleaned, ordered the necessary new parts,
poortjob done and rebuilt:

When fitting the final part, it breaks down ...
Then the handle was already no longer safe

All three together:

The rebuilding is fine, it is now waiting for parts ...
So far so good, here are a few pictures:

What happened to that number tag?

 

[Jan-Sietze]

An old 372XP sticker pasted over with industrial glue.

Long story; the xpg 2002 came with a 372XP decal,
Then I ordered an original 372XPG decal for the xpg, and so had a spare.


Then I have another question:
Is the thick 'imposed' number tag still for sale?

I like the 'World Campion' tag...

 

[Jan-Sietze]

Ohw, the serialnumberplate...

This is how I bought it from Germany.
If that was to make a stolen machine 'untraceable', then it did not work.
If you take the time it is to decipher...
