Thinking of purchasing a g372. I have a 357xp now with 18" bar and wanted to know if there is a big enough differance between these saws to justify the purchase. Im i going to see a big differance in performance.

I had the same issue with a 357xp. I bought a running saw but had trashed cylinder and piston for $50. Purchased new meator cylinder and piston, carb, intake bellow and clamp, basically everything new. rebuilt had problems getting it to start. Purchased another carb and now runs good, but i...

Its alot easier if you remove the cylinder. I used a clamp from a 372xp, its like a regular hose clamp. I just did the same thing, purchased a 357xp for $45. It ran but really hard to start. Took cylinder off and found cylinder and piston scored real bad. Ordered replacement P/C kit and new...

Yes the ring is in, you can put your thumb over plug hole and have almost no suction, with decomp pushed in it looks like gas is blowing back through carb and out filter intake.

I purchased this saw off craigslist, previous owner said carb would flood and gas would spill from saw. It did start hard and would run but not idol. Saw was all original with auto decomp, decided to update, got zama carb, intake boot and clamp new fuel line and manual decomp. pulled cylinder...

Thats what i want to do is get this saw running good, Im going to go through the saw and replace auto decomp and try to get a new intake clamp.

I just purchased a 2003 357xp it does run but will not idle, smells like its dumping gas. Saw looks all original, has auto decomp and plastic intake clamp. I went ahead and ordered a new zama carb, but would like to know what other parts are needed to correctly update or get rid of known...

Do you think the chinese kits from Huzl are okay cylinder and piston, cheap enough to get this and maybe another carb, you would think this should eliminate everything.

I just pulled the flywheel off and everything looks okay, the key was lined up and if you just slide the flywheel on it does rotate the piston so i feel there is good connection once locked down.

Could you tell where the keyway is located, looked at parts breakdown and could not find it.

With carb off was not able to blow through carb.

Have not tried saw is tore down at the moment

Its just like pulling saw with no fuel, when you say broken keyway, I can rotate or pull starter cord with plug out and watch piston go up and down

I used a business card, then grounded plug and pulled cord, could see spark consistantly on plug.

Just went out and checked gasket on carb was in correct position, it has a zama carb on now but i was given the orginal carb at purchase. have not tried blowing through carb, will give that a try, Im just a novice learning as i go, but i thought spraying a little either in spark plug hole would...

When pulling to start, plug did seem to get wet and smell like fuel, what suprises me is that it will not even attempt to fire on the either. checked the pulse tube and that looked good.

First post and need help with saw. Purchased saw not running, previous owner said while cutting saw just quit running and would not restart. He installed new coil, carb and spark plug. I got saw, checked spark, not good, adjusted coil and installed correct ngk bpmr7a plug, have consistant...
