Well 1st post here.
just received, via fed ex, a brand new never started, 372xp xt and had a couple of questions. i had to replace the clutch in my truck today and didn't get to play with the new toy as much as i wanted to get it all squared away. now it is dark so i figured i would just ask.
1. start up procedure and throttle trigger.
When i initially start from cold i pull the choke out, do i need to pull the throttle trigger also? my old husky 66 seemed like when you depressed the grip safety (skinny piece of plastic on the back of handle facing the palm) and the pulled the throttle trigger you could make the trigger stick at WOT for start up. on the 372 it seems like the trigger won't stay depressed at WOT unless i manually hold it there. does the throttle trigger need to be depressed during startup from cold.
2. i flooded it today 2 times. so what is the correct startup procedure? once warm it starts just fine with one pull.
3. There is an occasional bog off idle i think i noticed it more with the bar angled down ward. i read the manual last night and it said not to screw with the h/l/idle screws till 10hours so today i didn't screw with them. I did however turn the L screw to see where it is at. Currently it is backed out to the limiter. So could the bog be a rich bog which could be fixed turning the screw in, or a lean bog where i need to turn the screw out. didnt check the plug. ran out of time.
4. i figure i'll leave the H alone till the 10 hour break in but after that i have heard mention of a special tool needed to adjust the screws past the limiters, where can this be obtained?
