I would do a 288xp if they offer it. I would really like to do a 346xp.

372 kit purchased yesterday. Hope it can compare to the MS380!
Mine is here, but I haven't had a chance to start on it yet.

I purchased this Farmertec 365 kit on sale last month. My first ‘assemble from scratch’ Husky.
I’ve built two MS361, two MS 660 and their MS380.
The IPL has a lot to be desired compared to a Stihl. The screw spec thing mostly. And my lack of understanding of the chain brake.
Disappointed I am with the performance. I have a MS310 that will keep up with it (20” bar/chain on both.). The creamsicle as also over a pound lighter.
Unless it moves soon on C’list we will look into piston crown clearance and ignition timing. The flywheel cast in ‘key’ is not confidence building.[emoji90]

Used a 268 popup
Didn't cut the base.
Really woke the saw up.
Pulls a 24 in hardwood with full comp chain easy.

What bore size comes in the kit?
I presume 50mm?

50mm on the kits.
I bought a short block it was a 52mm big bore surprisingly
Did you check squish and compression?I purchased this Farmertec 365 kit on sale last month. My first ‘assemble from scratch’ Husky.

I must have got the “Herbie” of Chinese knockoff saw kits, have had nothing but good luck with my 372 kit she pulls a 28” full comp just fine.
I now see where the ponies went. [emoji848]
Piston crown clearance to combustion chamber roof squeezed solder to .060”.
After two tanks of fuel, eight pulls on a cold engine barely made 125 psi. [emoji90]
And, no, I doubt I broke a ring.
IIRC the supplied base gasket measured .021” thick.

What is and where do you get the 268 popup piston? Looks like a great performance help!
I like that.
I like that.
Did you use the base gasket? I built the ms660 kit and squish was .035 without base gasket. I didn't even try it with it. It had 145psi compression after intial start and 150 after about a tank of just heat cycling and testing.

I would be interested in that as well. Although I bought the 52mm kit. The pop-up in the 50mm may be a better preformer.

No, I did not.
Your .035” clearance is in line with what I have here. .035 + .021 = .056”. I have .060”.
The 125 psi I have is more due to a cylinder and rings not quite ‘round’ I think.
Needs more run time.
Walt (weimedog) (afleetcommand) built a strong FT 372 50mm by decking the cylinder on a lathe.

I hope they offer the 288xp kit next. I’d be all over it.
I don’t have a lathe.
My compression gauge is cracked too, but a lot worse than yours. I did it the very first time i used it, checking the ms660, it jerked it out of my fingers and it hit the felling spikes.
That one was free from a friend
It's just a cover doesn't affect anything.
I bought 2 that were junk
It's hard to find a good one.
