    Pm me your phone number. I'll save it for future porting. 150 ain't bad instead of me making a dogs dinner and having to buy extra gear such as tachs etc. Is that 77cc kit compatible in the 372xp?

    It will work in any 365/372/2165/2163/2171/2172 chassis. And it is the easiest way to gain power when you install a ported one. I am trying to see how many I can get and for how much.

    What kind of guarantee did ya get? Make sure to run good quality 2t oil or preferably aspen in that saw.

    I have a Stihl 261 for a year. and a 362 only new .The 550 is similar to the 261 in power and performance it'll work up to a 16 inch bar but that's about it the 550/261 are like 125 moto GP race bikes and are great up to a point I absolutely love mine and work it right up to the bar limit but after that you need some more power you could get a pair of bars on a 560 say a 14inch and a 20inch you'd have a nice short bar for thinning and a decent length one for bigger stuff I know that a lot of full time saw men are doing that
