Full wrap on the new to me 372 well chuffed with this buy/saw!!
I find them really handy now, felling or in the tree blocking down timber. -
The 395 with its wraps on.

Yeah that sounds like a better option, I would like to get a hold of an oem 75cc top end by next year I hope, there is going to be a 575xp in the family soon, never used a 575/576 before so looking forward to that, I think a 562 might be on the xmas list this year too haha.

You could go that route but the cost of finding a mint genuine 372 XPW ? I would go for a dead XPW and have it ported. Of course I mean new top end etc !!
I think realistically it would be easier for me to do I 372 with a big bore kit on it, I have my eye on a 572 when they come out next year too. How are you getting on with the 562? I have seen a company selling them now in the uk. -
Thanks Elliot, finding a genuine 372 XPW could be hard..only sold in US and Canada for a shortish time and a lot of stickers saying XPW ! Around 8ish years ago the 375 was sold for a very short time and there was some 372 World Champion models sold. The 372 had the wording in red. As you know my 375 is a custom made saw only the "decal" is genuine ! and it certainly out performs any "real" 375 out there !
Your first step should be a North American spec muffler with 2nd or indeed 3rd "port" using 266 or 288 deflectors and you will be pleased with the result after giving the high screw a bit more fuel.
That's some great information thanks, I seem to spend most of my time now looking for 371/372 saws for the collection now lol. I have thought about contacting hotsaws or the chainsaw with regards to an 372xpw In the hope they could source a good example of one. -
A couple of pics of my main worksaws, "375 XP" 372 XPG then just so they don't feel left out 576 XP, 385 Xp , 288 XP and 562 XPG. The 288 and 576 are just MM'd the rest ported by Hotsaws 101. I first started using the full wrap around 5/6 years ago when I got my first saw from Jack Beelar ( 372 XPW) and now wonder why more lads don't use them If I'm doing smaller stuff and want a very low stump then yes I use a " normal " saw !
That's some great work saws, I am a big fan of your videos on YouTube, I really like your 375, I was just talking to a friend today about trying to get a 372xpw in my collection. -
Despite the bloody ring not staying still, you get the idea...................
That's great, I might just have to send my saw to you, could be an early xmas gift to myself lol -
its the same cyl carb exhaust etc but had the higher top cover 2 versions of filters and has the D009 big mount , thats why I got it, all my stuff (apart from the 262xp and 550xp ) are big mount the 562 xp has a higher capacity oiler too as it can run a 24 inch bar
Aw nice that's sounds much better than the 560, I run all the bigger saws on the same bars and chain so that's handy it have the same mount. -
I know i tend to be a bit daft with saws too i have 7 o them but not a pro feller lol , my pal is full ticketed and i help him with jobs so love it , my modded 562 xp is my favourite
That 562 is very nice, how does in compare to the 560? Am I right in saying that it runs the same bar mount size as the 372? -
That there saw needs a buckshot muffler mod á la Chainsaw Guy!
It was thanks to his videos I wanted to get all the bit for this saw. He does some great 372 builds. -
i was going to do that to mine for fun too but not cheap to do over here , different air filter high top cover full wrap ,big dogs , but looks nice , so just got a 395 xp which has all that already :-)
Your right with the costs, it was not cheap but now I have done it I try not to think about the price lol . It could do with some more power tho.-

Looks very nice but without some serious porting, has pretty much the same performance as a standard saw!
Stubby - show him yours[emoji3]
That is true, it's all oem bolt on stuff but it's still a working saw for me right now but when the time comes there might be plans for some porting. -
...ummm by West Coast -did you mean Morcambe bay ...... ? K
West coast of Scotland. We have bigger trees up north so we need better saws lol.
-
So after getting my 372 a few years ago I wanted to turn it into a west coast style falling saw just for fun. After looking through the parts diagrams I now have this.

I have heard from a few people now that those saws are really smooth running. There will be a hd filter kit coming soon hopefully, I wonder how much of the 575/576 will be in the new 572, from the videos I have seen it looks like it will follow on well from the 372.
