I recently rebuilt a 372xp for my first time. It fires up and idles for a bit then dies. Restart is a bit difficult but I think it it’s running very lean. Part of the reason I believe this is because the cylinder is wet around the decompression valve and exhaust is wet around the exit hole. This is my first question. Is the decompression valve supposed to blow out like that?
Second, my clutch keeps kind of locking up. When the saw shuts down after revving up the clutch drum gets stuck in a raised position. It’s raised so high that when I tried to remove the circlip to inspect the clutch the washer put it into a bind and straightened the clip. The raised drum causes the chain to turn when I pull the starter cord. I can’t help but to think the oil pump drive wheel is not staying in the notches and causing this.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!
