362xpg thoughts?

[jacob lombara]

I might be getting a good deal on an 362xpg off a family friend, one owner non-comercial use, whats a fair price? Any thoughts on the saw (besides the power to weight, I know its a bit heavy for the size). Thanks

372?

If so, not really heavy per hp. Regarded by mAny as one of the best saws ever.

 

[mdavlee]

There was a 362 as well.

 

[ashy larry]

Cool. Never heard of it.

If it is a Husky 362, the weight and power would be the same as the 365 but it was rated as a higher rpm saw than the 365. The only one I ever ran had a 75cc p/c that had been ported and it was a strong runner.

I made my jred 2163 (same as a Husky 362) into a 372 (jred 2171)by adding the slug and jug,, great saw!!
Go for it,,,

The older edition was a small mount bar and I think the newer models are large mount.

Great condition xpG $500 JMO is fair. Adding $100 for the heated handles.

I sold my like new 362xp $400 small mount saw.

Small mount older more desirable to some folks.

It is the same basic saw as a 372xp. I've never ran a 362xp, but it does have a different top end than a 365. 362xp is not a quad transfer setup like the 365 Special or 372xp. It's a dual transfer closed port jug. The regular 365 is open port, as I recall. I'm really not sure what any of that means in the real world...

I have a pic of two jugs I have sitting on my bench. 362xp on the left, 372xp on the right...
I can't get ten to upload right now, but I will add them later.

362xp on left, 372xp on right...

Were all 362 oem top ends gilardoni. If so I have a perfect condition jug and slug hiding somewhere in my pile. I have no desire to use it as I would rather have the larger 372. I would assume most people would be the same.

Had my 2163 changed over to a 75cc setup. It's been a good saw for when we need a 24"bar up in a tree.
My old edition 362 and the new edition 362 are now 75cc saws.

I got to run one of Jack's 362 and it ran as good as it looked

Here's a 362 xpg jug Ken Dunn ported for me 10 or so years ago. Lots of use on this, but still tight and a superb runner.

All that room for transfers like you want them to be ground in. That would be an interesting saw to port.

It's yours if'n you want it, Mike.

Also, the 362 is 62cc, with a 47mm bore, while the 365 is 65cc with a 48mm bore. So it's not just the transfers.
My 362 also now sports a 71cc top end. Great saws. The small bar mount issue isn't that bis of a deal.

A good friend of mine has a 362 that Scott kunz ported this spring for him. I have yet to run it but he's really happy with the results.
