That chassis is fun...I think the best fun per dollar chassis for a saw hobbyist.... Certainly the most POWER per dollar in the saw world for the typical tinkerer who has skills and Lowes near by but no machine tools.

Bob dropped a 371/372 basket case like a bomb into my saw world a few years back... it ended up being the original "Farmer Jones" build with 1194 base gasket, muffler mod (3/4 in tube brazed in the upper clutch side corner) , Single ring 371 OEM piston, and that one had a .040in lower intake port.....it's in the hands of a young fella who heats his home with wood. He bought it a year ago...I dropped a lot of timber with that saw! Interestingly enough and why I hooked onto this thread, my current favorite saw is my original 365 bought back in around 2003/2004 built with a 372xpw top end... (yea there is a video...)

OK, how 'bout a 3rd "another thought".

I'll keep 'em coming until we get this thing fixed.

Have a look at the throttle cable right where it goes into the trigger. Sometimes the cable sheath will begin to wear and peel back at this spot and the result is that it won't fuily open the throttle when you pull the trigger.
