372 xt porting

[Rx7man]

I did a search for 372 XT porting, and didn't see a whole lot, one thread mentioned it hadn't been done successfully, but it was from 2011.. any insights? I have a saw with a couple minor scratches on the cylinder I could afford to take some risks with before I replace it... I've never fiddled with any strato saws before except a 4218 poulan, and I didn't have any good experiences even in stock form there.

I've typically avoided them.. too good a deal on this saw to pass up though.. 2015 with a 28" techlite bar, Stihl RS chain, neither have touched wood yet, $150

Ah so here we go again bragging about THAT deal

I'm pretty sure @huskihl has done a few of them, not sure how much he's around here these days.

I didn't mean to say I wouldn't own a strato, just don't remember owning one. With a deal like that one I would have jumped all over it!

I have done 2 XT's. My 365xt cut the same time in 28 inch oak as did my muffler modded 2188. I thought that was pretty good. I sold it to a logger. It is his third XT. His cutters like them.

Do you feel guilty stealing that guys saw?

Must be a hot saw!

I have a local shop do mine, just some minor transfer, intake/exhaust work. They are night and day from stock or even just a muff modded saw. A little seems to go a long way on the xt' s.

Non-limited ignition swap is a good idea too.

Does husqvarna still have that hot line for registration of our saws in case they get stolen? We can go online and check to see is a serial number is stolen.

I was bidding on a husqvarna 288XP saw with no serial number tag. I with drew my bid thinking this new looking saw could be stolen.

I had thought that at first, but then I saw the guy is a legitimate faller, etc.. while not impossible, it did make it less likely, and the saw was in a shop for a new piston, which got screwed up right away, so that part of the story checks out too

I've done a few. I cut the squish band and base, usually only raise the exhaust and transfers to within a couple degrees of where they were. Maybe square up the stratos so they open at the same time
