Almost new 372, strange noise

[Fish]

An uneven idle can cause the clutch to reach out and touch the drum, like a little bell....

It means a chainsaw modder somewhere has earned his wings.............

My MM 372's have that pinging sound and idle like dirt bikes have.[/

That's kind of the sound I'm hearing. I miss my old KX250.now, lol.

Brought it to the dealer and he heard what I was hearing. Totally normal Empty can sound.

I changed the plug last night and leaned the L screw a bit. Stumbling gone. Saw kicks ace!! Best purchase in a long time.

Thanks again for all the replies. Somewhat of a rookie issue I suppose but better safe than sorry.

Did you muff mod it?

Is the 372 an x-torq ?

If it is, the strato saws do have a distinct sound when idling and running.

Sound very different than normal saw from what i have noticed.

My 372 XT is one mean saw

I love how my muff modded 372's sounds idling

Not yet. Maybe after the warranty expires or I get bored with it.

Yes, XT. Don't know if I specified but the sound is at idle. Ya, crushes my 359 and it's far from broken in.
