    Stock 372xp or xpg wanted. I'm looking for a clean saw in good or very good shape. I don't care if the saw runs or not but I'm not interested in anything that has been rolling around in the bed of a pickup for 6 years. Thanks!

    Can't help you on stock, but I can on the monkeyed variety. Let me know if you are interested, otherwise good luck with the search.

    Thank you but frankly I don't feel like paying what a nice 372 with extra bananas is worth, so I figured I would settle for a stock one.

    I would buy a saw that had an air leak and scored piston that is otherwise in good shape. I would not buy a saw that ran great but looked like it was left outside for 5 years. I would buy a saw that ran great and was in very good shape. Make sense?

    I would think the cost to ship a saw to the states from Europe would be cost prohibitive, no?

    I have a good one. Plastic looks good. It runs fine, but it starts hard once it's warm. I didn't have time to putz with it because I was on a job with a time schedule so I replaced it with a new one....

    $75-$125 for shipping. If the saw was only $100 clams (US assuming)? It's not a bad deal for one needing a carb and a piston.

    Good luck!

    I agree. The bottom end being in good shape saves a lot of time and money!

    Heck, Hutzl is selling whole bottom and top ends of the 372 and 440 now for dirt cheap. I've been tempted to buy and build a China 440 and compare it to an OEM MS 440.

    If they are still available and havissues doesn't want one (or wants to split shipping) I might be interested in one.

    I dont have build one all aftermarket to compare but i use many parts like carbs, pistons, clutches , until now i dont have problems with them , the plastics sometimes dont fit 100% but using a heat gun can solve the problem , and finaly i am not the person who want a carb keeping for 100 years
