Hi all,
First post on here so bear with me. I recently bought a brand new Husqvarna 372 X Torque in plans of it being my go to firewood saw for decent sized maple and oak. I am currently running a 24" bar with Husqvarna full chisel chain which has been touched up with a Pferd 2 in 1 file.
Anyways, the saw has had about 1-1.5 gallons of fuel run through it, 40:1 Husky oil. The L screw and T have been adjusted to improve the idle and bog off bottom. I haven't touched the H screw yet but it hasn't shown signs of being crazy lean or rich at WOT under no load. This past weekend I was cutting some 20" green sugar maple and I wasn't overly impressed with the power, it seemed as though the RPMs really fell off in the cut. I should note that I was not pushing the saw down, just letting it eat on its own. The chain was throwing a nice chip, but did not feel like it was grabbing excessively or anything. The dealer said that it would take a good 5 gallons to break the saw in... But it has me wondering, would it really wake up that much once it's fully broken in? Or should I buy a tach and remove the limiters on the carb for more adjustment/better tuning? Personally I figured a 70cc saw wouldn't bog this much in 20" wood but maybe my perspective has been skewed from watching too many videos of ported saws. I can upload a video if needed.
Thanks for your help,
Spud
