hi i'm ryan from haze machinery it's a personal project i'm going to turn my 365 into a 372 xp
i'll go through what parts are required to do the conversion and then by end of it we're going to
run the soils up and see if it's worth it and see what difference it does create to convert
your 365 x torque to a 372 x torque xp you'll need the following parts the main difference is
is the cylinder unit so cylinder unit on a 365 has these little fins in if you can see it down there
okay the 372 exactly the same cylinder but without it so the part number for this one the cylinder
assembly is seven five two five five seven two and that actually comes as a kit with your uh your pot
your piston and your piston rings a lot of people on youtube i've seen before they actually cut
out these fins so they undo these four screws here take that thin out and cut it out with a
with a dremel that's fine seeing people do that we're doing it the old-fashioned way
of replacing the entire cylinder to allow more air into the machine what you also then need is
your filter housing so the difference between that one there there's the one off the um 365
and then it moves to this one here which is of the 372 main difference you can notice on there
is this one's got the screw and that screw is for the new air filter so that one there holds on to
there and then on top of that you now put the screw in so larger air filter more air coming in
more power going out screw part number is 537 213 204 the air filter down there is 503 81805
and the filter holder assembly this little bit here that one there is
522024501 when once you've got all those all those fitted obviously the filter is a lot
deeper a lot bigger than the the original so you're going to need to change your filter
housing cover as well so that's the original pumps over top covers up the air filter
on the 372 xp it's a much deeper deeper air filter housing so that one there will now fit on
over the air filter part number for that one there is 503 817 701 and what we'll do
now is put them onto the saw and then we'll give it a go see if it makes a difference
all right so it's all built up so we're going to give them a good test now so i'm going to
go and get changed my chainsaw ppe and then we'll see how they get on against each other
right for the test both saws are running the standard 20-inch husqvarna bars
and they both had brand new 3 8 1.5 mil chains fitted to them
as you can see from the video the 372 xp did cut much quicker going downwards and they lost the
speed going back up that was more down to technique rather than the power of the saw
after taking this saw home and using it over the weekend um i've got to say i absolutely love it
the the power difference between that and the 365 on on long runs is uh noticeably different
the cost of doing it all is it worth it well you can't buy the 372xp anymore in the uk
so the only way to have one is to build one
i'm glad i built mine if you have a 365 and you and you need a new port and piston i definitely
i definitely recommend getting the upgrade buying those additional parts if you've got to buy a post
and put them piston anyway thin on and get any extra power if your 365 is working absolutely
fine nothing wrong with it is it worth the extra money to uh to upgrade that's for you to decide
thank you very much for watching this video and we'll see you again in the next one
you
