Just finished restoring a 362xp special.

[Travis Ree]

New 372 piston and cylinder. New muffler and full wrap bars all oem. New aftermarket bar and chain and 8 pin sprocket. I have $300 invested. Good saw for $300 bucks and a couple hours messing with it?

Good deal!

 

[wcorey]

Is that a small bar (k095) one? I think '05 would be right around or just before the transition to the large d009.

 

[Travis Ree]

It is large mount.

That looks great, brother! I am looking to rebuild my 362 xpg special. From where did you order your parts? And are you happy with how the installation went? Anything you'd do differently?

 

[Travis Ree]

It has all oem parts other than the bar. I figured a tsumura bar would be better than the oregon husqvarna oem bar. It didnt need it but it got a new 372xp top end. Bolted right on with no problems.

 

[Travis Ree]

Parts were a mixture between partstree and Ebay. No chinese crap.

 

[Mr. K]

Solid copy. Thank you

Travis, new member & diy youtuber here! I loaned my 362xp out and it was filled with straight fuel, now I need to do a rebuild. I purchased my saw new in 05, I am not sure if its the special or not. My question is, could I use the bigger 372 cylinder & piston in mine also? Thank you

 

[Travis Ree]

All the special means is a side mounted chain tensioner rather than the front. You can use the non x torque cylinder, piston, and ring set for it. I would advise you to buy all oem parts for it. Should be able to find one in the 160 range.

Thank you Travis.
I was wanting to do a BB if possible, like to get the most out of it seeing i have to do a rebuild. Do you have any recommendations or reasons to why I shouldn't?

 

[Travis Ree]

This is the Ebay part number for the kit you need. Should have everything but spark plug and decompression button. Yours are reusable and will fit on this.

What do mean by bb?

Probably means big bore. The oem cylinders are the only ones I'd consider. Some of them will be a "big bore" compared to the original setup. Don't buy a big bore aftermarket cylinder thinking it will be an upgrade.
