Modding a 372XP

[blsnelling]

Here's my new 372XP. This is the one someone reported as a good buy on eBay. It was made the last week of May 2007, but had never been fueled. I ran it a little this afternoon. Very strong and smooth.

Cleaned up a little after its first use.

I modded the muffler just like my 346. I cut the top of the deflector off to give me access to the factory port. I opened it all the way to its edges in all directions. I'd guess it has 2-3x the area. I then welded a new top on it that covers the now larger hole.

I'll be getting a baseline timed cut and then be porting it.

Are you going to port the 50mm cylinder or go oversize? The 50mm cylinder can be made into a good runner.

This is a 71cc cylinder. It is my intention to port this cylinder, although I'd love to have a 75cc concrete cylinder.

An unlimited coil will be going on it next week.

That's it Brad your done for now, after you run a ported 372xp, you will sell all your Stihl's and convert fully to orange saws, now you have the 2 best Huskies, now you need a 395 to mod and your set.

yep they run good....will be a good run against the modded 460.

That's pretty much the real deal. Once you get used to that anti-vibe it's hard to run anything else. I still love my 084, 460, and 660 though.

I knew it, I told you last week, I see a 372 in your future. Was I right or was I right.

I am looking to build one of these up too, I have a new simonized pop up piston and the unlimited coil ready for one. Gains were supposedly near 2hp.

Ya, can't wait to run mine, I've run my buddies 365special, and it was really nice and smooth.

i spent about 45 minutes opening up the intake and exaust ports just a little.no base gasket along with 3 3/8 holes in a row at the top right portion of the muffler and







she likes the 8 pin sprocket...

Be careful with the 372XP Brad! You may be starting to succumb to the darkside.
