Good Luck

This particular saw was purchased in the late 80's and has had nothing but 32:1 mix through it since it was new, it is tuned just a little rich but that is how I tuned it. This is the first issue I've had with this saw, I think that's a pretty good run.

It's either an idle adjustment that needs to be made, a very weak clutch (which is common on these saws that have cut a bunch of wood and weaken over time), or a big air leak somewhere on the saw. If you have the ability to pressure/vac test, you could rule out the worst scenario right off the bat.

Southeastern Ohio Honeybees You my friend are 100% right, its way to easy too OVER THINK the issue at hand. You should always start with the basics. I too have had spark plugs be bad right out of the box. You also need to make sure your using the proper plug with the correct gap, and the OE plug should be a non-resistor style plug. The plug in this saw is the original plug that was installed from the factory. This is literally the first thing done to this saw besides the bar & chain being replaced. Thanks for commenting.

@@craigtimmons3468 Friend, the revolutions 13200 max for the saw 372xp oe 2003 are okay?

@@Sensei948 The OEM Husqvarna Workshop Manual gives these numbers, MAX Power is rated at 10'200rpm's Over Speed is 13'300rpm's These are Husqvarna Specifications so yes 13'200 rpm's would be MAX Speed.

@@craigtimmons3468 max pover 9600 13500 old version

I agree with what you Almost 100%, But in this case if you watch close enough the only thing I done was remove the very small piece of carbon that was bridging the gap of the spark plug, So with this being the only issue that is why I reused the original spark plug to the saw. And yes it is still running on that plug.

Sorry, I should have mentioned, immediately throw the Chinese spark plug in the trash. They are horrible for your equipment. Thanks for mentioning

I will try to do a carb adjustment video in the near future.

@@craigtimmons3468 alright I'm having troubles adjust my husqvarna 51 carburetor I've done alot of research and still can't find what I need

I would pull the muffler off and check the piston and cylinder for scoring making sure to look into the cylinder, if that checks out ok I would give it a shot of 2 cycle mix into the carb while holding the throttle open to see if it will pop/run a couple seconds. Could also be a fuel delivery issue with the carb. Check the pulse line and intake boot for tears or holes causing a leak. Good luck

This saw I purchased brand new in 1991 that's 28 years of running 32:1 mix and this is the very first issue I've had with this saw, i will take that every day of the week, for years this was the only saw I had and it has put many cords of fire wood on the truck over them years, as seen in the video I removed the carbon and reinstalled the original plug back into the saw and it is still running on all the original parts. I do run my work saws just a tad on the rich side for just a little extra lubes and cooling, I tach tune to 500 to 1000 rpm's under max for my work saws. I don't use seafoam but I will use MM Oil.

@@craigtimmons3468 should be 50:1 mix

@@Magdusia2003 Why 50:1?

@@craigtimmons3468 It is obvious. Haven't read the user manual? Information about making the mixture is on page 26 (For the best results use HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil, which is especially developed for chain saws. Mixing ratio 1:50 (2%))

@@Magdusia2003 It would seem that you are a sales person for Husqvarna, FYI Most all 2 cycle oil is designed for chainsaws if they are 2 stroke engines, granted some far better than others but still designed for 2 cycle chainsaw engines. And you are 100% wrong I have read the Owners Manual I read all my owner manual's, and yes you are right it does call for a 50:1 mix ratio which is needed to meet the emissions standards set forth by the EPA for that model year of saw. I for 1 don't like to operate anything without enough oil and that is why I mix at 32:1, a spark plug is a lot cheaper than a new saw, and as stated this saw is now pushing 30 years old and this was literally the very first major issue I had with the saw. A 30 year old spark plug cleaned and reinstalled and still running, how can you find fault with anything I'm doing based on this? Please answer 1 question, How many 50, 51, 55 series saw have been burnt up due to lack of oil? When you answer this then you can judge me for my actions.

Yes

Please Explain why 32:1 is to rich and why I should run 50:1? Running Hi-Test fuel in an engine that isn't designed for Hi-Test fuel actually will make less power than running 89 octane fuel. Remember this the higher the octane rating the SLOWER the fuel burn this is to avoid detonation that will destroy the piston. So because it looks like you did not read my other replies this happened when the saw was 28 years old having nothing but 32:1 run through it and this was the very first issue I have had with this saw, it was still the original spark plug which I just cleaned and reinstalled. 50:1 is an EPA push to meet the emissions limits so I'll ask this again would you drive your vehicle down the road with only 1 qt of oil? I bet not. So why run your 2 cycle equipment with an oil mix that could cause way more damage due to lack of lubrication internally versus just a piece of carbon bridging the gap of the plug after 28 years of service? Scored piston & cylinder or carbon take your pick.

@@craigtimmons3468 sure u can run 32.1 it will run fine.all im saying is the more oil the more chance of carbon deposits on plug burning more smoke and clogging up the spark aresster.i got stihl and husky 2 stroke equipment.it calls for 50.1 with 89 or higher .ive been using it for years and working great.im not saying what ur doing is wrong.

🤯 LOL

Please be kind enough to explain why I should change the name of the Title?
