I'd still go for a well zipped 372 XPW i.e. a genuine 75cc top end but thats me ! My 562's are going well and as I have said many times although the specs are the same on paper the 562 just seems to run better / stronger ? either way nice to see them avalible in UK. As for the 572, it looks like it should be worth the wait till Feb 18 and just as important the new C 85 chain which looks very good !

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 !!

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.

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 !
