Husqvarna 372xp X-Torq Mods, Dead Saw Salvage with some tweaks..:)

WORKING On A better "Edit" of this. left out some KEY points....:)


NOW The saw has lived its life, and stopped. A dead saw salvage. But while replacing the rings and honing the cylinder, might as well give it a chance to live a bit longer by solving one of the X-Torq's systemic issues. Lubrication. There are going to be all those who argue, but with all that air on the intake side, they tend to wear out a little faster than their predecessor's so here is a way to have those worn out saws live a little longer on borrowed time!

It's going to get:
Fresh Rings
Carb Kit ( Minimum ) , New Carb a better option
New Ignition. Old one has the plug wire ruined from vibrating on the fins,
ALSO the new ones create spark at a lower RPM and have a different timing curve
Both make starting these beasts much easier
Intake and exhaust mods...makes it run and idle a bit smoother....:)

NOT My best video! But realized as I started this might both answer some questions AND clarify what I do to the X-torq's. When built like this they DO use more fuel. BUT much easier to tune and get running well. Less sensitive to temperature changes, simply an easier saw to work with. Also starts and idles easy. Restarts easy as well. Makes a little more power, not earth shattering, but enough to notice. My bet is when this saw goes back they will be rather amazed at the difference...there was something else going on with this saw as it was given to me..:) Set that right too. I did some case / bearing rebuild work where folks would just give me the cases and I would split them and replace bearings and seals. This was one of those cases I had done I do believe.

The Gutted Intake boot and filter holder mod on a saw that would not idle well and was virtually impossible to tune. A 2010 model 372 X-Torq version. I put the "new" updated ignition that has a much lower RPM where it will create spark and a different advance curve than the original 2010 version had. ALSO a newer Carburetor as they changed that as well....didn't change the piston to the newer version that is heavier.

Had to heli coil a bunch of screw holes so this is that saws' LAST chance at life. If it comes back dead...its scrap. Has cut a lot of wood, hope it lasts another 2 or 3 seasons for the guy and that will be a saw that has done its time.
