Nice haul! 60cc's is typically the biggest saw you'd find for sale around here. What's the small creamsickle?

What one, there are three. From left to right it would be the crap 372xPee, Mac 7-10A, Pro Mac 700, Stihl S10, Stihl 028, Stihl 009L and the WILD THING. The two cases in the back are 044.

And I drove a little over 5 hours round trip to get these.

Whats wrong with he 372? Does it run?

It runs. Has an air leak. fuel line or intake boot maybe. I was thinking it could be seals but the high idle doesn't change at all no matter how you rotate the saw.

I am going to replace crank seals, all lines and the intake boot.....then it goes down the road. My BFF wants it so he has first dibs.

In what way do you think?

By his message I got that the carb needs a rebuild. So maybe all of it?

Could be. I don't know husky so I wasn't sure if there was some kind of known defect with the carb. I will get some parts coming for it tomorrow.

I think I would go with your original thought and replace the carb boot....but what do i know, Im just a dangerous back stabbing liar

I have a little white plastic ring that attaches the carb boot to the carb and also holds the throttle cable. Guy I got the saw from said it is very common for them to overtighted the carb bolts and crack that plastic ring. He gave me a good ring with the saw. Maybe that is it?

I chased a lean on my Son's race quad this year...I tried everything..crank seals, ran through the entire spectrum of jets, changed needles..etc. Always the same thing would happen...I would have the perfect tune for the daytime, but as it cooled off it would run lean and eratic. Turned out to be intake gasket leak! If you are idling up on it's own and crank seals are good, I would say it is a cold air leak at the intake side... IDK JMO

, Chity can get a new carb pretty cheap can't he...what like under $30?More than likely carb is plugged. It's not like they use the china zamas like stihl
Could be. I would guess if it's been sitting a long time the carb is just stopped up. Could be the fuel line and fuel filter falling apart and stopping it up also.

None of my Stihls have Zamas.

my 044s have the same walbro as a 371. I bet the fuel line has a hole in it, they seem to be bad about it.
I was hopeing that was an 038.
