    Not a saw but I thought some might like to see how bad ethanol laced fuel is for an engine if left unused for too long. No idea how long or what mix oil was used.

    How do you like that Holtzforma 372xp pro? 20" bar on there? What gauge chain are you using? .050" or .058" or .063"? Not sure why they recommend the .058". Also I noticed it's quite a bit heavier than a 372xp (14.6lbs vs 19.8). That's a huge difference. 35% increase in weight.

    So far so good, I've only got 1 tank of fuel thru it at this point.

    I'm using a 24" bar w/ 3/8" .050 full chisel chain.

    It's the same weight as a real one... I have no clue as to why they advertise the weight at 19.8lbs...... metric pounds maybe?

    My impression at this point is, that it starts easy (usually 3 pulls cold), it runs very smooth, and has the power you'd expect from a 70cc saw.

    The gas cap was poop right outta the box, so I replaced it with a Hyway cap which seems to be working fine.

    Overall I like it pretty fine, I've owned a real 372 since 2007, so I do have some point of reference to judge this saw against.

    Other than the "country of origin" I don't have any real complaints......

    You weighed them side by side? If so that is super weird.

    Also is it a "real" Walbro carb included in there? Did you happen to tear it down when you received it or just let it be and started using it?

    I weighed it right out of the box before adding fuel/oil. 14lbs 9oz.
    Here's a few pics of the carb, I'm not an expert on walbro, so idk. IMG_20220529_122839.jpg

    I bought some of those chusky 365/372s
    About 5 year's ago
    I've run them alot they paid for themselves IMG_20220530_175527084_HDR.jpg
    I have too many saws setting around so I loaned the bat country one's out my nephew had this one
    He must've run drip gas and walmart super tech mix in it
    As bad as it smells.
    Still runs good 180# comp with a hyway popup
    They weigh the same as my oem 375/371/372s
    Only issues I had was crap fuel and impulse line's.
