Haven't seen damage like this in a cylinder!! Husqvarna 371xp

Teardown of a husqvarna 371xp. There was interesting damage in this cylinder, haven't seen damage like this..

[@afleetcommand]

Never saw a 371 with a two ring piston. LOOK at the side of the cylinder. Is it a Mahle ? And stock wrist pin clips usually don't have those long tabs.

[@HANKTHEDANKEST]

Tinman, I'm really interested in saws but it's just a hobby for me, and I am SUPER on a budget because I already have too many hobbies. Videos like this are life-saving for folks like me who enjoy turning junk into gold. Cheers dude!

[@jeffc9354]

Great video, Tinman keep up the good work❤❤❤

[@Wiltshire372]

Someone has been in that saw mate. The 371 had a single ring piston and an HD6 carb. the cylinder on that saw is not oem for sure. 👍🏻

[@jcsawshop]

Sugar Creek Supply makes replica decals that are virtually identical and reasonably priced. Love my 371.

[@zacharydaniels5236]

Beautiful dog brother

[@engineninjaChris]

Beautiful dog Tinman! I have a cart with commonly used tools that I wheel close to whatever I am working on. Helps me keep my tools organized and my mind on my work.

[@daveodenbach6455]

Original 371 piston was single ring so it looks like this one has been changed. It's possible the original piston may have broke a ring. Make sure single ring piston goes back in as it will have less drag.

[@ryanbruner8928]

It's like a Christmas present opening, what a cool gift!

[@jwoods345]

362xp was built on that chassis. Small mount and large mount. I have an early 1998 small mount 362xp. 62.5cc I believe. Its a quick revving fast cutter for its cc's. Great Channel tinman take care buddy.

[@davidrehaluk8620]

I had a chunk of muffler fall into piston of a 550 I bought for parts thought it was frozen solid No damage actually runs mint now

[@stuartramage5933]

peace an love from scotland stu.

[@paulmcreynolds1774]

Great video Tinman. Can't wait to see the rest of this build.

[@DaveyBlue32]

I didn’t see any identification on the base of that cylinder and with the look of the piston it’s looking like a regular Hyway topend kit… pretty crazy that those support blocks in your transfers are cracked away from the outer edges like that??? Super hot run maybe? The oem 50 has a much more consistent and straighter set of transfers in it compared to the aftermarket 52 cylinder’s… dyno joe did the titanikel 52 and it just got to the stock 50 power zone… so a ported 50 might beat most aftermarket big bores… I looked around and the little darker Farmertec 52mm cylinder and the Hyway 52 popup piston is a really good fit and you can work those transfers… it’s my go to for work… 👍😁

[@justinweaver8107]

Hope u have a good weekend sir

[@tdawg8605]

Will be watching this series closely. Looks like I'll have to break the bank to find a mag side case for my 371 xpg. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

I just picked up a sweet 371, so I can't wait to see this play out!!!!

[@timg9448]

Dude! You start off the show with nothing but Daisy Mae on the screen… Instant Thumbs Up!!! That’s cheating!👍

[@toddtredway3068]

First 371 I've heard of 372 was the favorite in my neck of the woods I've always wanted one but the loggers kept them bought up when they were available. Can't wait to see what kind of things you can do with this chassis

[@andybecker2693]

Looks like cold seizure damage from not warming up the saw before throwing the coals to it.

[@aaronpowell4885]

Agreed, very odd damage. Can't say I've seen anything like it either. Long as the operator doesn't let it get too built up, a good layer of oil dust and chips does seem to have preserving properties! Lol

[@WoolysWorld]

Class

[@willcarr5763]

Cool saw, double ring just depends on if it was pre or post epa 371 but looks like someone may have thrown an epa piston in a non epa cylinder there, who knows.

[@stevenlaxton3618]

I'm hoping I can redo my new to me jred 625ii and really can't wait to dig in to it..I'm definitely going to have to pick up a crank splitter and some other tools. But for only having $250 in the saw I was told its got a 52mm jug on it but I took a rough measure and it came up looking like a stock 48mm but If I tear into it it'll go 52mm pop-up and maybe a lil pipe too 😉

[@michaelmeyers1827]

I’ll be interested in watching you build this saw

[@Auqalungangler]

Hi tinman a week or so back i asked if a OEM carb would be better on my new holzfforma 372xp pro you said as i thought yes would you please tell me the carb model no for the correct OEM part so i can order one I'm in the UK and getting so much conflicting info here I'll just ask you as you ironhorse and all the saw folks around you are brilliant for the shows you do and the knowledge you pass down. Thanks for what you do

[@fast4405]

You have mentioned some of the differences between the 371&372, you should do a video comparing the details if the 200 series vs 300 series, maybe throw in some of the 500 series as well.

[@BigTongan]

So, TinMan - if you do not have an option for a new cylinder, what will you have to do with that "trash" cylinder and "trash" piston in order to still keep your family fed and warm? Just ridiculously curious. I don't know if that would be an episode but just thinking aloud for the island folks who do not have parts store and so far away in the middle of the pacific ocean.

[@larrywarner9314]

Most 371 I've worked on have one ring pistons

[@jakegorman7121]

I'm very curious as to what the stock timing numbers were on that 371

[@Husky19788]

Where can we get a case puller like you use on the channel?

[@chriswilliamson796]

The last aftermarket 50mm kit I bought had the same lines in the transfer division. Also Is it possible that that piston was not made for that cylinder? And that's why it's catching rather then the single ring. Just a thought. Should gave timed that saw first.

[@Matt-wf9vc]

What will you use for the liquid in the bath? I have a 385 and 390 I’m trying to save and could use the same treatment. Funny, the paint in my bottom end is coming off…

[@fearlyenrage]

INfo Maybe you know maybe not The seam is from a two part build. Some complicated forms can not be done in one pour cast. Then the design has to been made up to a 2 or 3 part cast. After the cast machined and then they are put togheter. Have fun building the 371 =)

[@markhicks9545]

Think I have a feeling I'd go new crank you got that far

[@farmerjackson709]

Hey I have a question how can you tell when your saw is finally broke in you can turn it it up some

[@birdhunter2754]

Thay saw was rebuilt. 372 piston and cly on it

[@h200z]

My 371xp has a single ring from day one

[@paulmcreynolds1774]

Oh nice looking dog.

[@danielzukeran7625]

Awww what a good lookin dog ms daisy may! I’m curious did that cylinder have any oem markings? Perhaps the top end and piston had been changed out at some point, looking forward on this build. I’m also really curious to see a 50mm vs 52mm 372 shoot out. Thanks again tinman, hope you and the family have a good weekend

[@tinmanssaws]

Morning buddy, I'm thinking that top end was changed at some point. I'm loving this saw, thank you.

[@steveriggenbach90]

Question of the day….. if the piston is wore and thinner due to carb debris…..would that allow the ring to catch?

[@krsatcom]

You seem to gravitate towards the Caber rings. There is a site out of Virginia that sells popup pistons. They do not recommend the caber rings, and if memory serves they don't even sell them. They sell "grey ductile iron" my objective is to fix this saw and it be reliable, not necessarily a souped up saw. So my question is, why caber rings over any other manufacture or grey ductile iron, whatever that is. Thanks Ken

[@tinmanssaws]

Iron rings are very soft but sometimes are necessary depending on what your cylinder is made of. Camera rings are very hard and although they take longer to seat they will usually last way longer then an iron ring. That's why I use then mainly.

[@krsatcom]

@Tinman's saws Thanks. I'm not sure how long it takes to seat the Caber rings. Got a Hyway cylinder and piston kit from Ryan for an MS 290. It seems like I'm constantly adjusting the carb. Prob been 3 tanks now.

[@waydehamm7928]

I'm loving the content on these series of saws 👍 I have a question, what hose line do you use for impulse, can I use husky gas line ? I know not to use Tygon from my own experience lol

[@eggrolll]

I'm no professional, but when I rebuilt my Stihl the impulse line looked nothing like fuel line. Not sure if it would fit or work. I just paid the 6 bucks for OEM stihl impupse line.

[@tinmanssaws]

I've been using vacuum line for impulse lines, it take the heat very well.

[@chrismuncey3861]

044 10mm?

[@jaspercooper7298]

What does everyone think of 371 or 2 with a 52mm bore? I'm keen to do this. What cc will it make it with the extra 2mm? Cheers!

[@OldcampRanch]

I have a black and white Daisy Mae. Ethanol gasoline is death to all small power tools.

[@BrennanRaihl]

Good looking pitty looks like my pitty

[@trusted7060]

371 had single ring pistons

[@larrywarner9314]

I think that topend is aftermarket not oem

[@ToddAdams1234]

Tinman, here’s a question of the day for you: what do you need to do to fit and modify for putting a 372 Xtork carb onto a non Xtork cylinder?

[@DaveyBlue32]

The Xtorq is a little offset on it’s two mounting holes and it’s going to bolt on it’ll just sit a little sideways in the saw… it’s a little bit harder to get to the high and low jet to tune it… but you can do that with the plastic off…

[@ToddAdams1234]

@@DaveyBlue32 thank you, and now I know the rest of the story (Paul Harvey). Good Day 😉

[@SCouch-cw6je]

Sugar creek should have the entire sticker kit

[@tinmanssaws]

I forgot about them, I bet they do.

Looks like it ate something

Heyyyyyyy
