Guys,
Recently bought a new 372xp(xt), and have been fiddling around with breaking it in (fun!)ā¦.oh, the gas tank got busted in shipping, so I got to learn the saw by replacing that 1st thing on a new saw!. About a week after the purchase, and because I watch WAAAAAAAY too many YT chainsaw videos (you know who you are you little leprechauns, you!!), I saw () this 385 pop up on FB Marketplace for $150 only 30 minutes from where I live! I quickly sold my C2 rower (ācause who needs one of those if you swing an axeā¦right?!) for some cash and bought itā¦.yes, I called to check the serial # in the database to make sure it wasnāt aā¦..hotsaw. Long story a bit longer, the carbās kaput, so Iām switching that out, Iāll be buying/installing a new OEM jug & piston set, likely tweaking the ports thanks to these gentlemenās shenanigansā¦Bayou/Ironhorse/AFC/Hotsaws101, and replacing most of the rubber/wear parts on the saw. Iāll link some photos as she is now, and upload more as the project progresses. Input is absolutely encouraged & welcomed, as Iāve ran saws in horrible conditions for 40 yrs, but am definitely new to the āmoddingā game. Thanks much, All!!
