@125dan6 This one's not mine, but I do like it. I'm going to sharpen the chain and make a few cuts soon. Thanks for the comment . 👍

@jfarmall77 This one's not mine, but I definitely wouldn't mind having one. I appreciate the comment, and good luck with your saw. 👍

I have since solved the muffler problem and tuned it a bit. I also like the sound of it, and I will see how it performs. Hopefully, I will do a small video with some cuts. I appreciate the comment 👍

You as well. Luckily, it worked out. Thanks, Larry 👍

Yes, Wolf Creek is excellent. I have bought quite a few things from them. Although I've repaired a few AM cylinders for people, this will be the first one I've put on a saw. I have heard about the plaiting issues, but all the big channels seem to have good luck with them. I will be sure to check all the bevels on the ports. Thanks for the comment 👍

I'm glad it worked out for you. This wasn't my saw, and I didn't want to go crazy with it. I appreciate the comment. Thank you.

I appreciate the comment. Thank you. 👍

I always try to do my best. Wishing you the same, thank you!

I got this one for free. A guy put a new carb on it and installed it incorrectly. The spacer plates, carb throttle springs, etc. were installed in the wrong order so it would not run. You're doing a great job with the fuel and shut off. Thanks for the comment 👍

@@Brian2bears Wishing you and your family the best. Thank you for your support, and have a great New Year. 👍

@902hand7 Your support over the years means a lot to me. Wishing you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! THANK YOU!

@partyboy0319 Hello, I would have used the basic settings guide that came with the millermatic 251 and tweeked it from there. I can look at the chart to give you an idea if you need it. Sorry, I'm not sure of the thickness either. Although it came out good, I realized I grabbed the wrong tank of gas (for stainless steel) in the video, I did it over with Argon. I appreciate the comment, and thanks for watching.

Although the port work was very rough, it ran quite well. I cleaned up and beveled the ports. I haven't used it too much so far. There are more videos on this saw if you're interested. Thank you for the comment.

Are you talking about 16" vs 18" bar? If so, the shorter 16" bar would would take less power to turn than the longer 18" bar making the saw a little more powerful. I hope this answered your question. Thank you.

@ Yea I love our ms250 it’s done everything I’ve ever needed it to do and had a little left to spare. And that being said there’s some mods I wish I could make, namely a better clutch cover, air filter, maybe two more inches of bar, and if they could just make a full chisel chain for it instead of buying Chinese chain. But other than that I’m pretty much in love. I know the saw can make more power too, they dial it backs a notch or two presumably for longevity

@clevernamehere7559 I repaired this saw for a friend and was very impressed with it. You should be able to get a full chisel RS chain from a Stihl dealer. Husqvarna X cut chain is good also.

I absolutely agree. It makes it easier to mod, and the best way to know for sure that the muffler is clean and free of debris. I appreciate the comment, and thanks for watching.

@Gr8Layks I also wondered that, but never looked into it. Looks like "Electronic" is for the Electronic ignition, and "Quickstop" is for the chain brake system. Thanks for the comment, and good luck with your saw.

Hello, the muffler has no baffle, side port is opened to about a dime size, and the dual port cover slit widened to 1/4", which is double the factory size. I also have a bark box but haven't tried it yet.Thank you.

@thanhmai1551 Hello, the magnets I used are far more powerful than I needed. I believe they would work fine for a larger light. Thank you.

Ebay saw that was blown up. Stuck rings, junk piston, and heavy aluminum transfer. My plan was to convert it, but decided I had nothing to lose. I cleaned up the cyl, along with a popup piston, port job, and new bearings. The saw is a work in progress, and overall, nice condition, but the cylinder is in tough shape. There are more videos of the cylinder repair, etc, if you're interested. I appreciate the comment, and thanks for watching.

@@woodcutter4481 ohh I see. It’s a beauty for sure. I have two small Stihl saws but I’ve been thinking about a bigger one . I’m looking at this model . The Stihl are a good bit more expensive.

@@woodcutter4481 did you fabricate the belly guard?

@jimmyjam3172 The gaurd came from Ebay seller: cheap chainsawparts saw parts.

@jimmyjam3172 I'm a Stihl guy myself, but I really like this saw. I have a good X-torq cylinder to port, once I'm happy with this one. I have a couple OE 372xp's, and a couple Farmertec kits to build sometime. Thank you.

The 24" 3/8 is just for fun, but it does pretty well. Thank you!

@@woodcutter4481 np I'm a creator too and just ported my 024 that I also made a 026 thanks for your vids too

@@williamhsteele Cylinders kinda messed up, but I have a good one for it. Thank you!

@@woodcutter4481 you’re welcome!

@BrennanRaihl I'll keep playing with the porting on it. The cylinder is in rough shape, but I do like the saw. I have a nice cylinder to copy the porting on when I'm happy with this one. Thank you

@ClintsHobbiesDIY Yes, they are pretty cool. My neighbor had 9 of them.

I've run that model Michelin for years on all my vehicles, and the Chevy will most likely get them as well. Fortunately, I haven't had a problem with people wanting me to plow, but I definitely know how it goes. I'm also interested in the replacable carbide bits and have to do some research. Thank you for the info.👍

@ClintsHobbiesDIY The cylinder is in rough shape, low compression, but it runs decent. When I'm done messing with this cylinder, I have a good one to port. Thank you.

I like these little saws. Thanks Clint

Hello, I also bought a 6 pack of Barrina brand shop lights that are 3', 30W, 4000LM, and 5000k from Amazon. These lights are now above my chainsaw work bench in most of my videos if you would like to see the difference. I appreciate the comment, and thanks for watching.

god is good? they are an invasive species this is the work of the devil if anything

Video of the mom turtle soon, thank you.

The rakers are stock, and the chain has been sharpened once by hand with a 13/64 (STIHL) file. I believe Oregon uses a 7/32. Either way, I agree it is a bit jumpy. I have other OE 372xp's, and I'm just seeing what I can do with this X-torq for now. I appreciate the comment, and thanks for watching.

@@woodcutter4481 look forward to the next video. seems likea pretty decent saw from wgat i can see . by far im no expert but i'll keep an eye out for the content

Thank you 👍

Totally agree with you. I won this blown-up saw off Ebay before I really knew the difference between OE and x-torq. I was going to convert it to OE, but I decided to repair the cylinder and see what I could do with it for now. I appreciate the comment, and thanks for watching!

I believe the u-joints were Borg-Warner brand from Fleet Pride and Spicer ball joints from my local parts store. I torch the cross out of the u-joint, cut a slice in the outside of the caps, and tap them out. I find this doesn't distort the yolk. There will be hot grease spatter, fire, and smoke, so be very careful if you cut them out, and do this in a safe area. Clean up the holes with sand paper or a brush, and clean up the flat surfaces where the clips go with a file. Good luck, and thanks for the comment.

Yes, slowly but surely. I'm back to work and feeling good. I really should be exercising and walking more. I'm excited about the new project's, and appreciate your support. Thank you!

There are a few different options.The one I did was the "Treetop Zipline Tour" @ Alpine Adventures, Lincoln, NH. The website says $89 dollars for 2024. If you're interested, you may want to book in advance, it seems to be very popular. Good luck.

@M2theBchainsaws Hello Mike, after looking back at things, I think this saw does not like the low raker setting like my other saws do. Originally, this saw seemed to do pretty well with the 32" bar and new EXL chain. This build is different, being my first 372 and a strato saw. The cylinder is in tough shape, but I have given it some intake timing and raised the uppers, but no cuts yet. I will see if I have another chain with a more appropriate raker height and give it a try. I'm back to work tomorrow 😞. Thank you.

@batsnvultures Hello, It's been a while, but I believe the SAE 75W GL-4 #88863349 was recommended in my owners manual. It took me about 5 months to get a quart of it thru a dealer out of Texas. This dealer just put it out on the parts locator and had it directly shipped to me when someone got an order of this fluid.I didn't want to chance using a different type from the local parts store, I wanted the original fluid. My local dealer ( a regular GM, not Cadillac) could not tell me for sure if there was an updated fluid. I'm not sure if I can find the info of the dealer I got it from, but I will look if you need it. Thank you.

Hello, yes, I agree. This saw was not too impressive , and the first strato saw I've ever messed with. I got this saw blown up off Ebay. I was going to convert it, and probably still will. I cleaned the alum transfer off, but the cylinders in rough shape. I opened up the lowers and used a pop-up with a thin base gasket and 1" pipe muffler mod. I did more work on it today and will see how it goes. Either way, it's no great loss. Thank you for your comment.

Hello, I am definitely guilty and a fan of lower rakers, depending on what I'm cutting.This is my first 372 that was blown up, and I did my best to save the cylinder. At this point, I've cut some of the skirt, opened the lowers, thin base gasket, Hyway pop-up, and a muffler mod. I will start changing the intake and upper timing and hopefully improve a little. This was my first strato and a good one to play with. If it doesn't work out, it's no great loss. What did you mean by deleted the strato ports?I appreciate your comment. Thank you

I'm so sorry to disappoint you 😞.

Sounds like the carb needs to be adjusted. Doesn’t sound like it’s getting up in RPMs at all lol

Hello Evan, I agree with you. A friend of mine at a Husqvarna dealer thought it was quite rich and could be leaned out more also. This is the first X-torq I've played with, and the cylinders kinda messed up anyway, so I have nothing to lose. I'll play with the intake and transfer timing a little and see how that goes. In the end, I'll convert it. I appreciate the comment, and thanks for watching.

Right? Either the assembly of the operator.. Both are the same dude

Sorry, I don't understand.

Hello, Im sure it's the work I did on the cylinder that I'm not impressed with, but it's all for fun. The saw has a Hyway popup, .009 base gasket, 1" pipe muffler mod, and I opened up the lower transfers. The cylinder was repaired, but I don't know how long it will last. I'm just playing around with this one and plan to do more to it. Hopefully, I can improve on it. Thank you

@@woodcutter4481 ah makes sense

It's still fun playing with it, and there's no great loss if it doesn't work out. Thank you
