It's possible that the early 372xp just plastic and they upgraded them.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but while we’re on the topic of the 372 does anyone know a quick way to compress the spring on the chain break mechanism to fit the actuator on The locating pin?
Thanks
Thanks
I think I put everything together and put the spring in last. I would have to have one in front of me to know for sure. For the life of me I just can't remember.

I’m sorry there was some mis understanding maybe, but mine has the metal threaded inserts, I was referring to a metal circular ring to go inside the boot. That’s what I thought someone else was talking about

Why not cork?
The amount of torque on the bolts will not crush it if it’s thin enough? Is that what you might be worried about?
It's not the appropriate material for a few reasons. Pretty much any auto parts store will carry paper gasket material.
Cork is very porous, might be a built in leak, and rtv is not gas resistant.

Some Xtorq's will surge at idle if the idle is set too high. I have had two different ones surge like that, but run perfectly at full throttle. Try lowering the idle rpm; that worked for me. I think it may have to do with the coil starting to advance near that idle rpm.

Yes but it should not stall when sprayed with carb cleaner at the boot joint regardless of the L and T setting.
Please read my previous posts. [emoji111]
This does happen because of the advance built into the coil.
OP I'm sure all will be fine once you get your new parts, if not well all be here.
The best way to accurately diagnose an air leak is pressure/vac testing.
For hard to find leaks, there’s always the dunk test, light pressure and dunk in a tub of water, like a slow leaking inner tube. I’ve used this method with great success. I strip it down to the crankcase minus the carb, coil, flywheel and clutch, then blow everything dry when done.
It sure can be.
As soon as I hear one of my saws have an issue or I grab one that won't tune I put them down and grab another until it's fixed.
Last one I dealt with was a cracked fuel line on a 361, it was running great, then it wasn't. Unfortunately the when it wasn't was at the guy's house I sold it to so I had to pay to ship it back to fix it
. It all worked out well and it was shipped back out a week later, could have been a bad situation if it was just ran .
gold type RTV is gas resistant. as well as several other commercial versions of RTV sealants.
if it were a poulan or a stihl then yeah but on a 372.... No.Right on buddy.
Question remains, would you use it in this application

Even a five year old kid could figure that out! Lol.
The Emanuel came in handy.
