I have a new 372xpw with 5 tanks of fuel ran thru it. Did a cold compression test, came up with 135psi,sound rite? seems low,think it should come up a bit with the next 5 tanks?

Compression tester is new,checked my other saws,and they check out ok, so i know the comp tester is good. Yes i love this saw,so much so, i dont see myself useing my 288xp very much anymore,to dam heavy.
Thanks guys, i wont sweat it till i get at least 10 tanks thru it,then i'll ck it again.:msp_thumbup:
Ya, all my 372's only had about 140 compression stock. With a pop up piston and minimum squish I get about 165-170 now. A ported 372 is tough to beat!
So after i get this thing completley run in, and if the compression is still kinda low,does pulling the base gasket for something thinner make a noticeable difference in compression? can you feel it when you run the saw?

You probably run a bigger pop up than I do. I wasn't bragging anyway. I was just giving this guy a comparison.Mine has more than that
The 372s have a big squish from the factory and will have compression usually around 150 when broken in.
