Are you sure these are 372, as they have a spring AV system so would not require replacing due to age?

As Andrew says . AV springs don't go brittle sitting on a shelf .  Cheap Chinese saws with rubber buffers can however ......?

Any pictures of saw or its ID plate, should be beside the oil tank filler

Mmm, hope it isn't one of those dodgy Chinese copies!!

That's what's crossing my mind.

well that's 3 of us, ill be off to my barn in a bit so ill send through some pics with the tag and the tag is there. it came in a original box with the manuals and all the other bits but to be honest how hard is a box and manual to make after ripping off a saw. it does have a decompression valve at the top. ill get all the photos today when I go there.  was planning on taking another one of my new stock and get it tuned up before I run it in but I won't bother if they are knock offs.

If the decomp valve comes through the top cover rather than being on the SIDE of the cylinder, it is most likely OK and original as I have only ever seen the earlier model copied.

Gone rather quiet.

Bugger all I would say
