Have you had a look at the piston yet? If it's not to bad you you might get away with cleaning the cylinder up and putting a new piston in it.
Have not, just tested compression out of suspicion and sure enough she is worn out. So I figured I'd just order up a rebuild kit and carb rebuild and see how it goes from their. But figured I'd ask you experts if I should do more while it's torn down.Have you had a look at the piston yet?

How'd it do with the 24 before?100psi of compression low which is why I'm gonna rebuild it.
If you put a new top end on it and want to sell the cylinder send me a PM, I might buy it depending on it's condition.Have not, just tested compression out of suspicion and sure enough she is worn out.

It did OK but I got the saw used and it's just slowly getting weaker. Now it's getting harder and harder to start.How'd it do with the 24 before?
If that saw in stock form will not pull a 24" bar and chain in pine with authority, you have a problem as others have stated. Pull your muffler and show us a picture of piston/cylinder, that saw needs a new ring or two, then vacuum checked at the least. Stock 372 should have 150psi, more or less depending on you elevation. Have done a few base gasket deletes and bumped it up 20psi.Just cutting wood, pine mostly stuff that's up and around 24 inches. Want it to pull my full comp through which right now she is real tired.
I'll get some more pics up tomorrow afternoon. The quality seems fine, I picked Lil Red Barn over the Hyway one because I figured that it would be made with better aluminum.I’m surprised no one is talking about the pop up piston.
What’s the quality like Ronnie? Can you get some more close ups

Ronnie thx I was particularly looks at the ring pin quality and overall casting quality. The pins look much better than the one I bought for my poulan 3400. It also looks really decent overall.More pics
Yes, I believe you want to stay within 20 thou, you can go as low as 15 as one other poster has mentioned but it gets dangerous.So would you do the pop-up VS the base gasket delete then?
