372xp

[carpenter1]

just bought a 372xp,

the manual says to start the saw press the decompresion valve and cord.

the saw will not start, so i did every thing else but did not use the decompresion valve, and the saw fire on the second pull.

is this normal?

 

what does every on else do

 

thanks

as soon as it fires choke must pushed in or it will flood and not start

The decomp is just to make it ease-yer to pull over . It vents compression until the saw fires which will automatically pop the decomp valve back out sealing the whole shooting match . You don't have to use the decomp but it saves a bit of wear on the starter pull and your arm . Go saw !

[Stubby]

Oh yea . Choke out till it coughs , then choke it , decomp in and pull till it goes

[spudulike]

If a saw won't start using the decomp but will without it, it may be the compression is a little on the low side of good.

I just picked up a new 372 xp today !

Im glad you like your 372. Their a cracking saw. Go and hammer the pants out of it and get a few tanks through it before you send it for the port job. Ideally we're looking at 20 tanks.

 

Catch up with you soon

A local garden landscaper came to me with a non working 372xp that he had sitting in his shed for over 2 years, Bought it for £50! Gave the cylinder a rub down, put in a new piston and replaced the broken trigger. Fired up after a few pulls and dialled it back in.

Now my #1 saw of choice!
