Finished off another two MS200Ts today and then ported a 372 that had gone pop after repair by A N Other. All tests were good but bounced off the rev limiter when flat out so wound it down to under 13,000rpm to keep it safe especially after fitting a new piston. Should pull like a train once it has been run in a little.

Whats bent? Just handle, bar, broken housing, trigger housing? Post some pics for us

Ebay it as spares or repair and then once sold buy a brand new one and have a good Christmas and new year on the change.

Ultrasonic cleaners, used to aid the cleaning of parts.... anyone got any good recommendations? Looking at buying one, mainly for cleaning small intricate parts etc but possibly one big enough to take a chainsaw cylinder, 6L - 8L maybe? Anyone got any advice or tips?

Not a recommendation as such but Lidl have a small 20 quid one on their shelves at the moment.... I know nothing about it's performance,  suspect its a little small for a cylinder though.  Probably pants compared to a commercial  cleaners with special cleaning fluids.

Ported 372's are bonkers arn't they ! ?

If you are thinking about cleaning bio oil off cylinders, forget it. Best get a 1-2 litre heated tank with about 100w. Useful for cleaning carbs but little else to do with chainsaws. I have had clock movements in mine.

The little ones are OK for jewellery but would get a better one if you are using it for saws. Simple test is to see if the US will blow holes in thin foil.
