@@nicholascooper1193 I've had a lot of issues with those hlic carbs to the point where I won't even Jack with them on a 372. Again, I love them on the 440s and 660s, just not the 372. I've had it where it loses tune. It'll run great and then all the sudden weird tuning issues. I've had it where you can't lean them out to get over 10 or $11,000 RPMs. I've spent more time than I care to admit jacking with them and I'm done. Until I see pure success with those for an extended period of time, not one lucky one out of 100. Not one month of them being okay. After a year of all good feedback then I'll look at them again. I'm done.

@@bulletproofsaws I ordered a Walbro for mine this week. Hopefully it fixes this saw. If not, I'm going to get another "real" Husky and keep the blue saw as a project.

@@despraterado588 which makes the missing parts and problems even more frustrating.. the China run is about useless

@bulletproofsaws none of mine have any missing parts, and I doubt you're putting a bushing on the chain tensioners.

@bulletproofsaws and it's been a few minutes since I watched the video, but I'm pretty sure you said yourself that you were lucky to catch this one

@despraterado588 we pre run them all. It catches a lot.. some obvious, some not.. but really it's our minimum level of checks.. done only because the manufacturers can live with a far higher fail rate then we can. I'll do a video on it as it's deeper than you might realize...

@@despraterado588 I really don't know what you mean . Pre flighted/custom 660s get bushing. Pre runs do not although maybe that should be added..

@@thedirtbikingyeti1353 thank you

@@wayneanderson991 oh it's been a debacle with frozen rock trash stick to bottom of logs..

@@cynthiahoekstra7212 agree.. I just uploaded video with black pro flow.. she ran nice.. the black and white looks nice. But I'm partial to the all white

@@gregwatson2535 thank you

@@danlynch6194 that was an easy peasy one... Some are bedeviling..

@@wayneanderson991 appreciate another vote for the three Bond. Yeah it was kind of odd and maybe it's how it sat that it was a controlled leak. Somewhat really interesting. But again I also overcompensated tuning without realizing it. So that was kind of my fault

@@benjineeringtoday8233 lol.. real wool sweaters are the trick . Gotta be 100% wool . Which aren't generally the most stylish, but functional....

@ I have some alpaca that I got from mission trips to Peru that are good but they breathe so well that you can wear them at 60 degrees but if you throw a jacket over them you're good to about 35.

@benjineeringtoday8233 that's the way to get alpaca.. they are insanely expensive/overpriced here.. I can't buy a 350 sweater just to drench it in 2 stroke fuel..lol

@@bulletproofsaws I may have $200 in the 7 that have, but the bill for the trip is where ya get got. Lol

@@ShannonStokes-y7v you got it.. part 2 is uploading now .

@@MrHangerone no... It's a Royal pita..lol

@@wayneanderson991 appreciate that Wayne.. I occasionally spray brake or carb cleaner in a pinch, but with a customer saw I generally won't .. I go to leak down quick as 9 times outta 10 I'll be going there regardless.. figured it out.. WASN'T what we both thought.. will upload the video tonight if I can... Side note, this looks to have the viton seals.. with all the caveats applied to that statement..lol

@@hnorton8298 appreciate the compliment.. I have it sorted in an upcoming video.. it WASN'T what I thought...lol.. why would it be.. that might make me look like I have a clue..

@@DwarfLord-cw9bu they are nice.. FT I think goofed up my shipping on my stock.. I'll get them in bulk eventually... FFS... also check and post back which carb you got.. they've been anacondas lately which sucks ..

@@Earth_Care_Cowboy funny you say that about the 261. I don't love that saw either. I'm going to get another one to do a port job on and see if I could start liking it. I want to like it. I just don't. I feel like I'm the odd man out on that.

@@paultheisen5290 Scott shared Bulletproof Performance Ported Muffler for Husky 372xp with you www.bluesaws.com/products/bulletproof-performance-ported-muffler-for-husky-372xp?

@@loweralabamahomesteading4661 it depends a lot on your tooling.. they can and will chip, but with sharp tooling and technique they are very workable..

@@JamesOneill-x5i I thought I mentioned it in the video, but all of ours are coming with wahlbros. It. It won't run right. Some folks think you could get those hlic's to run but in my experience they don't run for very long if they run, and they never run at full potential. But a lot of inexperience guys might but not be able to tell the difference

Sorry I thought you put the wallbro on them yourself one guy told me only the pro comes with the wallbro and I dont like the carban fiber look

@JamesOneill-x5i oh no, you are correct. I must have misunderstood. The only saws that come with wahlbros are the pros or saws you get from blue saws. And really I don't blame anybody for not listening to anything I say because I talk way too much

I'll order the orange one if it has the wallbro carb

@bulletproofsaws thanks for the feedback

@@thedirtbikingyeti1353 yeah I'm upset that it got dark. The last cut on that I went out of the wood in the side. That one or the other one were the fastest. I think that was actually My second favorite. But they're all fairly close.

@@ericplatt3390 really appreciate you being a customer. That's what supports this whole thing with TH-cam. Not that we have real high production costs on the vids..lol.. but supporting folks who give back to the community rather than a random ama$on reseller helps everyone..that thing with your bar studs is real odd.. it sounds like a mismatched clutch cover to bar studs.. there's 2 types and if the cover needed the recess it makes sense... Still odd.. glad you got it sorted and thanks for the support..

@ oh also on a side note my saw came with a dual port stainless muffler with screens which is a added bonus IMO

@@benjaminleslie3155 I should update a video on this. Farmer tech gives us such a hassle to sell these that we get frustrated with it. The product is good though. I've used it three times this Winter just to blow snow off of a thousand-ft driveway. It works tremendous. I think I've been abusing it for the last few years and it's been Rock solid. I just wish farmer tech could get their act together with their dealers.

@bulletproofsaws I am curious what differences there are between this and the oem version. Especially the carburetor. I'm not sure but I've heard it's not the same as what's used in the genuine husqvarna/redmax blower.

@benjaminleslie3155 I think that was in one of the comments on one of my videos. It was one fella. And what I think is going on. I don't know if that fell is right or wrong, I'll assume he's right. Anybody's ripping into these cuz they're not having the problems. So if you bought one to 100% use it as a parts machine for your OEM saw, maybe that's not going to work.

@@wayneanderson991 really appreciate all that. Wayne. And you raise a good point. Why change it if it's working? The funny thing though, and I don't have my head wrapped around this is they also have pro versions of some of the parts like bearings, crank, bearings. I've ordered both the old version and the new version which is a little bit more expensive. I can't see how they're different. On these seals. I could see it's a darker different rubber. Not saying it's better. Don't know yet. But on the bearing that I looked at and I don't think I checked every single product. I checked one and was like huh. I can't really tell the difference. And that's what always worries me is I'm suspicious of China. Sometimes I'm suspicious where I have no business being suspicious. Sometimes the suspicion's Right on.. not a dull moment in this. Although I imagine discussing seals is pretty dull for most folks

And I probably wasn't clear about one thing there. I think they sometimes change things to charge us more. That's me being really negative and not right. Those bearings had me thinking that. But I do see the seals look a little different. And they weren't much more. We're talking, pennies or dollars. Not much either way.

@@benjineeringtoday8233 You raise the perfect points. He comments on the post so I'm sure he'll be here and I don't want to misquote people and I feel a little bit shy about even mentioning things sometimes. Because I don't want to misrepresent, make a mistake in what I'm saying. Seven sets of seals within a year. I think it was on seven different New farmer tech saws. But again I can't remember what I did 2 hours ago. So don't base anything on my memory. But it does make you wonder if there's something going on or if it was something in his procedure. Bad fuel. Something odd. My gut feeling is if all the saws were having seals fail in a year I'd be hearing a lot more complaints. Actually I'd be hearing complaints cuz I rarely have a complaint on seals. I'm not even sure if I've had one this whole year. And that's a lot of saws.

@@bulletproofsaws The crank seal failures were on saws purchased as built saws(factory installed seals) from Farmertec from early 2020 thru 2022, both Husqvarn and Stihl clone variants. Fuel and oil used at that time was Echo Red Armor at 40:1 mixed in 100LL Av gas or a 50/50 mix of Av gas and premium 91 octane non-ethanol fuel. I always let my saws warm up before putting them to work . I have not had any issues with the Hyway seals I used to replace the brown/redish seals that came on the saws from Farmertec. All I can say is the Farmertec seals from that time period that came out of the saws were a little hard and worn to the point that you could start to see the spring imprint on the inner rubber seal lip. I'm the type of person that uses what I know works (Hyway crank seals) if a problem comes my way, so I have not tried any of the new offerings from Farmertec as far as crank seals are concerned.
