There is no risk of sweating at the temps I would be wanting heated handles for!
The coldest day here last winter was minus 50 celcius.
Finally got me a big Husky - 390XPG

Oddly, the 372xpg has a different system, where the switch has a third position for carb heating. There also is a warning against using that position for more than 3 minutes at a time, in the user manual - even though it is said to have a thermostat...........
It's amazing that Husky sells the complete top cover and filter cover for $20. I also modded a new muffler for it since the old one was really beat up. The bar is 28". I replaced the monster spikes with a set of factory big dawgs. I still want to get a half-wrap heated bar for it Do you really thing it's worth the money for an Oregon Reduced Weight bar?
No this is not a 385. I ordered the wrong decal. Unfortunately, the PN for a 390XPG doesn't come up at Jacks, only a 390XP. Anyone know where else I might be able to get one?
Finally, a paint that matches. I ordered this from Jacks, PN 532126965. It's $13.95 a can. It's similiar to Stihls orange in that it doesn't cover real well. At least it matches!
The old decal isn't perfect, but it's better than nothing.
I modded the first muffler with pipes on both sides. It was going to blow exhaust directly onto the brake handle. I had another, so this one got a deflector on that side. There's also one on the top. The pipe is about 13/16" ID. This is actually a modded 372 muffler.

Actually Brad - I still have a problem understanding some of your worries regarding the look of the saw.......

It's a hobby man
Now that's a muffler mod.
If anyone's interested in the full-wrap handle on this saw, send me a PM and we'll see what we can work out. A new one is $90.94 from Jacks. I'll go half that plus shipping.

Brad, I'd be afraid to take one of your saws into the woods and use it... They're too pretty.
I have to agree with you. I wanted two pipes but wasn't willing to have the one sticking straight out. I want it to breathe though so that's what I ended up with. I'm open to suggestions. This saw will be ported soon.
Naah. Anything I get used I like to go through and make everything right. Then I put it into service and just take care of it. This is definately going to be a worksaw.Brad, I'd be afraid to take one of your saws into the woods and use it... They're too pretty.
Hey, I learned it from Andy!

I'll have to take pics of my 390 pipe mod. Anyways, can you get a pic with say a piece of wire holding up the saw around the top handle, to show balance with that lightweight bar? I've got a couple 372-390 class saws and I'm up in the air over a lightweight bar...
Thanks.
