nice saw i helped devoliping that model one of the best model husqvarna built turned into 372

THANKYOU DANIEL FOR DONATING THE SAW,,AND ALL THE GOODIES YOUR A GOOD GUY ,, IT WILL BE TURNED INTO A CRAZY PORTED VERSION OF A 371 THERE A GREAT SAW ,,,

Totally enjoy the content and your mindset. I've learned so much watching your videos. No longer do I hesitate taking a saw apart to find out what's wrong. Keep up the positive energy.

Holey smokes the generosity around here is amazing

I have a 1998 371xp and it will cut as good as the newer saws it has a wesco piston and ported good saw I have changed the fuel and oil caps to the newer flip ones and the on off switch to a new one that go back to start again side clutch cover next on the list

Welcome to the 371xp family tinman! 😁🤙🏼 You’ll love that saw. I sure love running mine. Its a ripper 💪🏼 little side note, my ‘98 371xp has a 2 ring piston. Must’ve changed it over a few years

Donnie Walker said they were designed for up to 24 inch bar. As you said, they beefed them up for a long bar, so were heavier.The early ones had an HD6 carb. No limiters. I put single ring Meteor pistons in even the new saws with no problems.

Wow! Thank you so much Daniel for sending Tinman the awesome saw and legendary care package! Opti-2 is good stuff, never let me down. Tho I've started trying different oils the last couple years. (Edit): forgot to add, opti-2 is also sold at both my local stihl and shindaiwa dealers. As you said, if long time dealers carry it, it must not be bad!

AWESOME!!! there's still a few genuine good ole' boys out there!! I have a 371 Special that a friend of mine gave me and got it especially for me at an action he went too...that saw will never leave me as he passed away suddenly from a heart attack 3 months later..I'm gonna go through the saw as well as a personal Stihl 041 that was his personal saw as well...but I'm not exactly sure the difference in the "Special" in the 371 series...but the stater cover states "371 Special" ...but at any rate..thanks for the content...and keepem' comin'!!! Later

Hey Tinman, its a lot of fun watching work done on these newer old classic saws. Thanks for another great vid.

Thanks for another video! Stay warm, healthy and happy. Catch yer later...

Daniel thank you for sending this awesome gentleman that loves to work on power saws and show everyone how to tune and beef the saws up!!! That is definitely so awesome buddy!!! Being in a good position to donate something in this caliber is so awesome for sure!!! I definitely wish that I was in a good position to give to others also because I definitely would do the same thing also!!! I’ve even told my wife that if we was ever so lucky to win the lottery that we would definitely take some of the money to help others that are definitely in need also!!! I mean really at the end of the day it is so awesome to look back at what you have done for someone else that was definitely in the need!! Well tinman what an awesome video buddy and to talk to everyone that helps the channel out in some ways was so cool to see and show how much you appreciate everything that has been given to help you out on the channel!!! Remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!

My dads 266SE is still killing firewood over 40 years old and original. Good up keep and fuel mixtures along with good tuning has kept it that way. Amazing saws for those days. Have a O8 372XP I picked up last fall. Another powerful amazing saw. Love your channel

Thanks Daniel that was so nice of you. I am so glad you sent that. I have an old 371 and can't wait to see what info i may learn about my saw on tinmans channel

What an awesome gift. Wow you are blessed with wonderful viewers. Can wait for these builds. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙

Hey Tinman. Reckon you’ll see some differences in the OEM jugs when they’re side by side. To my eye the 371 jug appears to have larger lowers than the 372. Have fun with the build and thanks for sharing 🤘

These are cool saws for sure!

Interesting vid. Can't wait to see what You do with this one Tinman.

Awesome Tinman, Thanks Daniel!!!!!!!!

Never a broken record. Love hanging out with u tinman

Nice. Love the content as always tinman. Thanks Daniel for sending that saw to the channel

Cheers to Daniel.....and I look forward to this upcoming build! Interesting note about the mix oil you prefer! Keep up the good work!

Cool comparison video on vintage saws Bud; keep it up!

Hi Tinman, the 371s also had more crankcase volume than the 372s

I bought a371 new in 99 it had the air filter just like the one you have been a super good saw

Daniel, we greatly appreciate your contribution to the channel. We all benefit from your generosity.👍💪

I currently have a 371 stripped down awaiting a Meteor piston install. Love following your vids Tinman. Can you give more info on the SnapOn screwdrivers you were kindly sent. Got to get me a couple of these.

I had a husqvarna 51 that stretched (and failed) a cylinder bolt. It was sealed with motoseal. Even only being anchored on 3 corners it only had the slightest WHIFF of an air leak. I could barely tell it even had one. Only discovered the source of the problem on a teardown later. One skinny leak path a couple MM wide. GOOD stuff.

Heard anything from Ironhorse? Last post was 6 days ago.. Hope he is doing well,

371xp are great saws, I know for sure they were made in 96, I've got 2 that are factory high top, 1 is a 96 other is a 97 amazing saws

I've got a 371px. 3rd port job it's my 2nd favorite saw behind my 4th port job 394. And yes I changed my chain tensioner to 372

If you like that gem you aught to see my 371xp, still has original stickers on it even the dealer sticker. Runs like a scalded dog. Neat channel, thanks for the video.

The only difference I knew about was the black coil. Thanks for showing us. I have a 2000 372xp with black coil.

Love the 372 xp, my uncle has a pre x torq one and it's fun to run, been trying to find one but they are usually asking crazy amounts around my area

Noice!! Thanks Daniel 👌

Thank you Daniel Z.

Hey there tinman, Great content and info as always, is any of the 372's for sale? been trying to get my hands on one for a while now..

I love 371´s!

I like the all metal hand brake! They just make the saw look cleaner. Any chance you can get a all metal Handel to work or fit on 365?

Tinman: QUESTION, I’ve got a vintage 288xp. I rebuilt it. After rebuilding I configured it with the traditional low top cover. It ran fine. But recently, I configured it with the high top air cleaner and top. Saw started up fine, but then died after a short period of idle, then revving it with brake disengaged to check bar oil, and then I put it down to let it run a bit more and it cut out. Is this because the high top air cleaner has ore air coming into carburetor leaning out the mixture too much?

You mentioned a stiffener in the 372 for longer bars. Does the 266SE have the same problem with cracking. Would like to run a 28” on mine.

Hey tinman. I seen dyno Joe change out the jet on a 590 echo because he couldn’t get it to lean out also. I didn’t know if you seen it and I know your buddies is still in a box so I figured I’d say something

Hello I have a question. what would you recommend one to buy. Meteor 50mm or Hyway 52 pop up? when are you going to port a husqvarna 372? Nice content 💪

Bad ass bro

You should convert that 371 over to the 372 stuff you prefer like the sidecover and get some decals made that look factory but say 371.5XP 😆 🤣 😂 that'd be a head scratcher for people first seeing it..cheers everyone

Tinman does the Opti 2 oil burn clean? Just wondering why you are seeing when you tear a saw down after using it for a while with that oil.

I would like to see a 372xp crank in a 044 or at least a video of the two side by side internal comparison

My buddy bought a really beat up 371xp a while back and we run it with the 36" bar, it's decent for something so beat to crap

I like my 371 purdy sweet saws

The 3171 ,371 375 the cases were made of different materials and were between 18 and 22 oz lighter than 372 cases

Yeah man…I use that meteor 371 single 1.5mm ring piston in all my 50mm saw’s! You’re loosing some massive lubrication function when you have the two rings and you are not getting a full wash down and across your piston with each stroke of your engine… it’s all about the lubrication!

Love you tinman

I was at a local dealer today and saw a 372xp for sale. According to the sticker it’s a 2010 model. I’m a big stihl fan but I ain’t scared of trying a known good brand that isn’t German. Is it worth picking up at $575 with a near new 24” bar and chain? The thing looks like it’s in VERY nice shape. 99% of the loggers use stihl because of dealer support so I think it was a firewood cutters saw. On the other side they had a 2020 572xp for $700 but was not nearly as nice cosmetically. Been looking for a 70cc saw and the stihl saws are rare. Just wanna spend money wisely.

Is the 2000 365 special a good 1," not sure on the yr," but is a 365 special," would love to try out the new mufflers, buckn & morgan have.

Is a Jonsered 2171 the same as a Husky 371 or 372 (non x-torq)? I picked up a 2171 (2008 model I think) a couple weeks ago for $100. Haven't got to mess with it but it fires up good and has good compression. Chain brake doesn't work and chain is shot is the only problems I've seen so far. I had been considering a 372 Husky or MS380 Stihl clone saw to fill the gap between my MS180 Stihl and MS660 big bore/ported mildly Stihl clone. Jonsered parts are crazy high so wondered if I could convert over to Husky covers if I have a problem with plastic or starter.

Sweet

im liking this 371 and 372 compare id liked to see the inside of both cylinder's just wondering because i like the single rings better and was wondering if i could do 371 on my 2001 372xp other thing that goes threw my mind is how far can you go before messing with timing like can i grind my skirts out to match the case and not mess with timing id really like to know the info on the iron horse mod i think its the 86cc just wondering if your going to get or do a 372 like that and give the info out i been thinking on buying couple 372xp case and hope for the info to come out

I bought the 371 you saw for sale. I am starting to thin out my collection, but my 371 is going nowhere.

Are SKF bearings top notch?

Tinman, I have a homelite 925 xl and high jet turned in all the way and I can't lean it out anymore. Any ideals how to lean it out more. I love your content, thanks Tinman

All the stock 37x saws I've seen here in Europe have a muffler like that from the factory.

Whats your recommendation for a fire wood saw 12 13 cord a year and 20 to 36 around logs need so good power and reliability

Have a 372xp with one line on fuel line but new fuel tank has two can that work

The original 371 saws were low top and later models rite before the 372 were high tops

It’s really funny to listen to all the different opinions of 2 stroke oil and which to use. Your buddy Buckin says use anything or maybe even no oil at all. You say Opti-2 is all you run, and every guy after you has a different opinion. My experience, they all work as long as you use them. Buy a 2 stroke oil, buy good quality fresh gas, mix it at least 40 to 1 gas to oil, and enjoy your 2 stroke running for a long time.

Top cover, not air filter cover. The brake lever,and the brake handle are also different on 371.

🤙

I have an original 372 it doesn’t have side chain tensioner it only has front tensioner also the side cover has no provision for a side tensioner either it’s just like the 371 you showed

It's Christmas in February !

opti-2. is better then echo brand. red armor ?

Late 1996 was the first year

2171 😂

the 371 has a hd 12a and the 372 has the epa version the hd12b

I'm not sure but there's not much difference between 371 and 372 , maybe ports are a little different and I do know the cases are definitely different .there lighter

you must know buckin billy ray...every other word out of you mouth and his is "friends"
