So last year I got a used 372xp and it runs like a banshee. I just fixed and modded 3 climbing saws and they run awesome. So I cracked open my 372 to do some quick maintenance and mod the muffler. Now ever since I have had the saw there has been something rattling in the muffler. Pieces of ring. So I looked into the port to sight the piston and it looks haggard. Chipped and broken on the top edge, down almost a quarter of an inch and there is only one ring in tact. And it runs great!? Yeah. But this aint gonna last, barrowed time. So my first question is how is this thing still running so great? No scoring no nothin.
My second question is what should I replace it with when it goes? I have been looking at the ported/bored cylinders and better pistons but this area is a tad bit deeper than my knowledge of saws. Who does good jobs? Do I need to buy the cylinder and piston only to throw the factory piston away? Should I just do it myself? Are there bored kits available as a whole package?
