I bought a 372 xp chainsaw about a year ago for general farm use. From new it was hard to start, taking 10 or so pulls cold. My older Husqvarnas would start on the 3rd or 4th pull always. Yesterday it wouldn"t start. I don"t think it has had 10 tanks of fuel through it yet. I took it in to the dealer, and got a call back that it had been run with raw gas and the engine needed new crank, connecting rod, cylinder and piston. I am positive that it has never been run on raw gas, I am very particular to use 93 octane with husqvarna oil mix, and stabil. I use the same gas from the same can in my other saws and weedeater and they are still running fine. What happened? This was my first "pro" saw and I was very careful with it, always let it warm it, and never ran it really hard. My older ones do not get warmed up and get ran hard and are fine. The dealer says it is not worth repairing, parts and labor are more than a new saw. Do I get another 372 or try a Stihl? Or try a different mechanic? The 372 was a nice saw when it was runnning, balanced and powerful. Josh

The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
