I probably did a bad search job but has anyone done the kit saw of a Huztl 365/372 and documented it here? At about $110 I couldn't pass up their present sale. If this saw goes together as well as the Huztl MS 660 that I did, I will be happy.
Yes there are other places where they discuss chain saws. I would prefer to find what I am looking for here if I can though. I rather enjoy this place when I am in a wood/saw mood.
Czed Dave has 5 or 6 of them. He'll be along shortly to let you know what's good and what should be replaced
No expert lol I've only built one huztl 372 big bore The rest were 365 built saw's I converted to 372s. All of the supplied china fuel and pulse Line's have failed. I swapped them out for echo 3x6mm Fuel line. Intake boots and seals have been fine. I broke several starter ropes so i bought A roll of true blue 4.5. Cut most of the "g"off the circlips They are a common weak point Oem circlips are preferred. The china pistons have held up great The rings no I swap them out for cabers or oem 1.2 for the double ring pistons. 1.5 for the 268 and 272 popup pistons I use in some of mine. I used motoseal on the case gasket And to delete the base gasket. The china crank bearings have held up Great. Some use nachi skf or fag bearings. No problem after that I've been cutting for a year with them Not oem but well worth it to me
The wrist pin bearings at least on mine Are odd They are larger diameter than oem. But the id is the same. They resemble clutch bearings Just longer. So i bought oem clutch bearings And used them as wp bearings. The bottom bearing is oem. The farmer tec/huztl cylinders Usually are good to go Check for sharp port edges And casting flash. The squish is usually more than Oem. That's why i run popups To get good comp.
Wow czed! Way to go. Talk about getting things dialed in! If that isn't professional, I don't know what is. You deserve a salute. I usually lack the patience when switching from OEM, to unknown.
Czed has me covered A lot of what I have read he covered with the weak points. So some small upgrades to certain items and they seem to run pretty good.
Walt just posted a vid on ope. Huztl 372 with 1 tank of fuel through it put a hurtin' on a 372 xtorq in 14ish" ash. An unscientific farmer Jones hurtin' at least
It is like $250 plus shipping from HL. $80 isn't bad for shipping a saw around the world, it just makes more than I want to spend on it right now. It will turn into $300 by the time I do a few upgrades and get a bar and chain.
No pop up piston for me. I just want to build a basic saw. Right now the 372 kit is on sale at Huztl for 110 plus about 80 shipping. It is not the 250+ that 94bullit noted. I have to agree that the B&C will add to the total 190 that I have spent so far.
Once you learn these saw's They are a money maker Buy oem saw's that need rebuilt And flip them. I'm doing this 99 371xp It's getting a meteor with cabers Fuel and pulse echo line. China Seals muffler and throttle cable. Rebuilding this for a friend. He painted the bar orange And it stuck to the bar plate lol one of the fastest saw's to rebuild as well
