Husky 372xp parts inter-changability

[Husky nut]

Has anyone put a cylinder off a larger husky saw then a stock one without having to do modifications? If so what did the cylinder and piston come from or off of? So far i've got a 375xp but wanna try to beef up another 372xp...(parts are cheap to me so cost isnt a problem)

What is a 375XP???


Do you mean 575XP???

 

[Husky nut]

no a 372 with a 375 cylinder and piston set not a 575...Gotta love working at a Stihl and Husky dealer

 

[rahtreelimbs]

The 375 is a concrete saw?

If that is what your are using it is my understanding that the port timing on those are quite low.

Hey Rich
I just sent you a PM

well if port timing is low i dont think it would run as good as it does (cuts better then my stock 372's)...only real differences i could find between a 372 and 375 is the bore...on the saws the carbs are different along with a 375k has a rev limited coil...

Cool!!!

 

[Husky nut]

well if its low it was still a noticable change in power...This is an on going experiment...

 

[rahtreelimbs]

You didn't answer the original question..........is that 375 top-end from a concrete saw???

 

[Husky nut]

yes it is...

What's that 575 jug and piston cost for a dealer insider such as yourself?

 

[Husky nut]

I'd have to look tuesday on the invoice...We just rebuilt 2 under warranty (first time i've Heard husky say they'd warranty fried motors was on the 2 575xp's i rebuilt yesterday)...

What puked on the 575's that a rebuild was necessary?

I would bet money that they seized. My dealer had several do the same thing and now will not carry them. He is selling the Jonsered 2171 instead.

 

[Husky nut]

well as you know a 575 runs really lean from the factory with the limiters on it...the shop that sold the logger the saws didnt remove the limiters and richen it up...If they burn up this time it'll be cause they used the wrong gas mixture (we adjusted the carbs and got them running like they should now but 1 is still down due to a factory flaw in the carb and leaks gas)... Bwalker we dont mind selling them because when they leave our shop their tuned right

 

[Husky nut]

So far not 1 of the 100 we sold or tuned has come back to us yet other then for a bar and chain or 1 that had been run over by a bobcat...

 

[Husky nut]

if i found the correct list price ($341.01) our cost is $262ish

Which doesnt stop ham fisted loggers from adjusting them to their liking in the field.

But if the ham fisted loggers atleast know what a properly tuned saw should run like, maybe they can duplicate that in the field.

I feel that the 575(or any rev limited saw) needs to be set up a little differently and this detail may be lost on those people in the field.

sounds like i can get better price's on parts than you........i recently picked up a new husky jug and piston kit for a 385 for 2 bills. 372 pistons cost me 34.00. i haven't priced a 575 kit yet and don't plan on it.
