Most grateful old bean... I'm looking forward to ragging the crap out of it most of next week. Any body want to buy a 372 with one careful owner pm me!

Problem is he broke the Geneva convention he talks about it and then brakes it ...then admits to braking it all on tape .. Agree he should not be tried for murder but as a professional soldier it's his duty to stick to it so should be tried for some thing ... Also agree this has no place on the front page of the media.

I would not worry about the dust Joseph they all do it ...husky or stihl, big or small I have never had any problems, just try and clean the filter daily .. Can't help you on the 550 running though but I seriously doubt they are in any way connected , sounds like the auto tune needs resetting possibly , my 560 has always behaved it self so can offer no advice on that front apart from I have read you can re set the auto tune by if its possible to burry the saw in a large bit of wood with a sharp chain cutting continuous flat out letting off the throttle for 3-4 mins

Yeah pretty much got it there.

I think they are put on for Cali regs but I always first thing before even starting a new husky is take them out.

What I run and would buy the same again

Surprisingly an easy fix ... The carb just slots straight in its just getting the lines and carb manifold through the new handle and changing the linkage to the new handle that was a pita !

I saw some black pop rob milled on here a while back and it looked stunning wood when finished.

Maple??

What mods mate ?

I would get a 36" incase you get a bigger saw in the future or you could run a 30" on skip chain I would of thought.

No probs on the 540 .. Tbh the only probs I have hot starting the 560 is when my groundy uses it and he can't even start it cold !

Sorry mate no , but its a classic!

Lol! Derick and Clive.

Nice job !!

Find a log as big as your guide bar and burry it flat out for 3-4 mins is how I set auto tune ... Also keep the chain sharp if you blunt it don't carry on using it ... The saw remembers how it's cutting and will go like a dog if you set the auto tune on a blunt chain...I think this is why they are not good saws for unexperienced operators.... Get a refuel before it goes dry, the auto tune will also set it self up for a running lean mix and can be a pita to start on a fresh tank... The sight glass on the rear of the tank if you can see the fuel on that line means it half empty not full! if you can see it under half way on the clear plastic it's probably a good time to refuel if you get the chance. Mark makes a good point on husky bolts ,my 338,357,560,540 and 395 have been good but my 372 and an old 288 fell to bits when you looked at them and should of been checked more often whilst running in some of the bolts holes are now too slack or worn.check stuff like the side covers ,felling spikes and exhaust bolts ect for looseness when refueling over the first 4-5 tanks.. If they keep coming loose try loctite. Enjoy the saw its a belter!

Plenty !

A couple of other jobs from today. First thing a shot horse chesnut. Big oak this afternoon.

An ash from yesterday rang the butt up today with the help of a bee keeper!

Cheers guys !

As always some great pics on this thread!

That's efficiently done climbing for you mate!!

560 on 15" 3/8 chain I've been running for a couple of years ... if I was buying new I would buy another without hesitation.

In tight spaces the down fall of the tm is the elastic on the leg loops getting caught... but it's has a great service life and replaceable parts that wear are a big bonus.

Looks like some nice colours for rob in the oak.
