    Want to Buy 572 used or new FOUND

    I’m always a day late and dollar short. I hadn’t checked site so i missed out on the 775 and 15 ship 572’s. Since i don’t need and just want - i can hold out maybe for another deal and I’ve pretty much got all the logs cut split and stacked. as much as i like the 562 and 372 i have to admit...

    Anybody running the Chinese Stihl knockoffs?

    I purchased a Chinese 372 a couple years ago just to see how it would hold up. I ran the saw a total of 30 minutes and it seized up tight. I used the same gas oil i use in everything else and after removing muffler and the jug i saw the problem. The ports were so roughly cut and the cylinder...

    Holzfforma saws

    It did - came complete and I’ll add this. I bought saw only because it was on sale for like 220. And free shipping. My thinking was just how bad can it be. Well Duce knows just how bad !! He sent the original piston rings and cylinder back with the saw - unreal. I will say after he done a...

    Holzfforma saws

    LOL i ordered a clone 372 and it ran about 10 minutes and quit. Thought i had a fuel problem but ended up having to send it to my bud Duce. He sent me pics back of cylinder and piston. Looked like it had been straight gassed but port edges eat the rings and piston up. Duce put another...

    So you’re thinking bad shaft seal or intake boot ? Yes it was only exhaust side of piston and ring is free in groove on piston. Why did this happen and how and why does the piston come into contact with cylinder wall - is it like spark knock on car ? Mixture burns so uneven it cocks piston...

    I will read up. Thanks - Will this cause a lot of decrease in power ? I ordered a compression tester but couldn’t wait to pull muffler then cylinder off when i saw the transfer. What’s average compression for 372 in good shape ?

    What’s the verdict. I have a little acid and may have to read again on how to do properly but i don’t see any grooves just aluminum

    Yep - some of the most productive get it done out of the box stuff people i work with are that way. My bride gives me crap sometimes and tells me i for sure I’m eat up with it. Maybe it’s because last chainsaw i went through i did most of it on the kitchen table with newspapers spread out...

    Ht i know the fellas in the know think i got adhd but i don’t. I’m kinda like a fella that loves a fine tuned strong saw without being foolish on the spending. In the forum it’s like kid in candy store with all the knowledge but i don’t want to sound that way. Right now I’m using two of the...

    Just read a few post on porting - maybe I’ll just stick with stock. Looks time consuming and expensive. Does porting increase torque or widen the power band similar to xtorq ?

    Duce i have never split a case before is reason. Almost bought the tool when doing a different saw. I haven’t even removed muffler yet but plan to today maybe. My wood pile is too big for me to be messing with a saw but dang i love working on them. I don’t need this saw - it’s just i think...

    Ketchup i appreciate it. Don’t know a lot about porting or even read about it. If the cylinder has no ugly grooves then i could reuse but i like the 52mm upgrade - appeals to me. I want it to run strong but also want it to last. If the saw is in good shape as far as main bearings you think...

    Just got a buy in a rough looking 372. It starts right up and runs just not as strong as my other 372’s . You could call this a winter boredom project. I don’t want to split case new bearings kind of deal but i would like to replace c/p and want your suggestions for brand and where to...

    Hutzl fake 372 problem

    Ok this eve for giggles i stuck the new carb on it and reset or adjusted coil a little closer to flywheel. Saw has good spark and i put a little fuel in plug hole and it hasn’t even hit. I’m tired of pulling on it. With the fuel in the cylinder it should have at least fired. It has fuel it...
