allright somebody cough up the secret. i know theres only a restriction difference in the 2. i want to know what i would have to change to make it the same as the 372. spike60 get in here and spill the beans.
 
I'll bump this one for ya Terry.

I believe the power diff is in the ports and of course the 372 will have the large air filter.

Could be more?
 
i have had a couple of private conversations about the differences now. i will say this much, i would not by a 372 just for the hd filter. the difference in the 365 is just a few minutes of grinding away from being a 372. i think i might just get one and try it as soon as the weather lets me . thats if i can talk myself out of trying a ported 390 for a bucking saw.
 
So far what I have found, and been told here by my saw shop, throw a 372 p&C on a 365, and it will be a 372. They same the frame, and part's are the same.
 
WTF? You get into the "super secret club" and can't tell us the trick in the open?:hmm3grin2orange:
 
The new 365s are 71cc just like the 372. I'm interested myself in the difference since I usually don't leave saws stock anyway.

Yes, this is correct on the older ones. The newer versions have the same P/C on both saws, it's just a re-stricter is installed somewhere and once removed they are the same power.
 
if i told you id have to kill you,if i tell the public id have to hire more killers :hmm3grin2orange:

there is a restrictor in one cylinder and not the other. i cant tell the you exactly what it looks like cause ive not seen it. and yes i am in the super secret club. you know the one that no body seems to tell the super secrets to and i have to just figure it out myself. and usually about the time i do figure it out somebody will come along and say ...well i could have told you that....

All be damned. I new that about the older ones but did not realize the change with the new. Make's you wonder why the hell they sell the two, the 365 must be a real good seller I guess. So they just cover more bases in sales.
 
It's like the 290/310/390 Stihl line, it's meeting a price point, less power, lower price. Most consumers don't need the bigger saw and if they are told this saw is about the same as that saw, but it's $200 less, they consumer will normally go with the cheaper one.
 
Both the 365 and 372 have the same cylinder. They both have the same Husky part# stamped onto the cylinder on the flywheel side 5219301. The difference is the port covers on the side. There is a baffle in the 365 cover where as the 372 port is totally open. I haven't taken one of the 365 port covers off but you can see it through the plug hole and the casting # for the port covers are different. Hope this eliminates some confusion.

Well that's a super easy fix!

Makes the price point of the 365 look VERY good!
 
Dang Terry, do you even own a stihl anymore? I'm very dissapointed in you! You need to sale that dang XPW and get back to your roots.LOL:D

Pull the cylinder off. Something that can be done in approx. 10 minutes on a relatively clean saw.
