Huztl Farmertec 372 Build Kit

[Johnnybar]

Dude you have no chain on it..

Never intended it to have a chain for the first startup. Only reason it even has a bar is that I find it easier to check oiler leaks and output that way.

Not to mention balance and it eases cranking to have the bar in place. They even make a chain without cutters.

Haven't seen a shina BB 372 fail yet, except the one I put together with circlips tucked up inside the piston in a baggy. Lol.
They could be a softer alloy than OEM, but still good for 150 cords. Much better than any anemic stock 365 if you know how to file chain.
I got two 372 BB's loose out on the street, now owned by two woodticks who can't seem to kill them for some unknown reason.

I know this post is getting old, but I just put together a 365 kit. I ordered the 52mm top end, extra clutch, e clips, 2 extra drive sprockets and a few others. It was $262.11 total and took 11 days to recieve. Over all the machine work seems to have improved from comments I've read about huztl parts. The plastic isn't oem quality but will serve its purpose.
I haven't had a 372 yet so it took me around 6 hrs to complete. I made a .007 thick base gasket and ended up with .024 squish. Started with ease second pull. However with the high compression and big bore the decompresion valve is a must.
I will order again if a desirable kit presents itself.

they can't kill them cause you tuned them to 10.5k lol

I ported two 50mm and 2 52mm huztl kits the 52s are a handful lol
I don't trust the Chinese decomps so i deleted them.
I will probably get oem decomps all 4 huztl cylinders are good runners but those big bores give them some needed torque.

 

[Charlie Pendleton]

That's the general consensus on those decompression valves I did like the way this decompressor was set into the cylinder the 1/8 inch hole is so small the decompressor parts couldn't make it to the Piston if it did come apart you would just lose compression. I'm planning on picking a oem valve up at the dealer.
I ported the cylinder as well (everything i know to do without changing transfer port timing anyway) and modified the muffler so I'm hoping this thing really runs I'm going to throw a chain on it tonight or tomorrow and run it through some would see what it does.
I was impressed with the factory ports they were surprisingly clean.

Here's a little update video. I'm running a 28 inch bar as you can see almost buried in wood. I am running it a little rich for break in and show a little 4 stroking in the cut. Should run strong when broke in well.

Looks good it took mine several tanks to seat in now i'm very happy with them use them all the time.

 

[Charlie Pendleton]

Ok so I've ported the cylinder to:
101 exoughst
121 transfer
80 intake
.021 squish
Caber rings
Muffler mod

Saw runs so much stronger than my prior video.

372 kits are back on sale. 20%

Haha figures, I ordered a second kit 2 days before the last sale. If I ordered another I may be living in the shop.
Good news is since my first kit they updated the ignition coil, built a sturdier fiber/plastic chain break cover and changed the fuel tank vent.

 

[awful knawful]

anyone ever get one sent to Canada? Wonder if I should get one + 52mm big bore. Be a little stronger than my 268?

 

[TimTaylor]

Mine has only had about five tanks through it and it feels like a genuine one. Very pleased. It pulls better and feels smoother than my 044 and the farmertec 440 . I know it's all subjective and personal preference but this is my favorite fire wood saw, together with a genuine old 51 . Question is do I build another one with 50mm or 52mm?

Build one of each, why have to choose

 

[Walter Glover]

Planning to order a kit for my Jonsered 670. Anyone have advice on this? To the best of my knowledge the 266 is the same saw? So a 268 kit is correct?
Stoked to try this out
