I purchased a farmertec holzfforma g372xp and do an unboxing first impressions and have an issue that needs fixed right out of the box. Welcome to Man Time!
I have the orange holtzforma g372xp from Amazon. Mine had been run at the factory. You could see oil residue in the tank and it had a slight gas smell. It was otherwise new. I set it up with a 20" bar and chain, fueled it and filled the oil, choked it, gave it a few rips, it popped, turned of the choke, one pull and it fired right up. Whoever tuned the carb at the factory got it just about perfect. I took down a small tree with it and bucked it up into firewood right away. Ran perfect. Had to tighten the chain after a few cuts, nbd, just like any new chain and bar. Lots of hate on these, I love mine its been flawless. I was pretty much a Stihl guy so most of my experience is from that world. This is my first "husky" type saw and I really like it. I run the Stihl synthetic oil at 50:1 with 93 octane premium just like all of my Stihl stuff uses, so I don't need separate fuel. This saw rips! It's got enough power for me so I don't plan on modding it. It's used for firewood and managing trees around my house.
Yeah that’s awesome man. That’s how it’s supposed to work. Mine is not like that and have had issues from day 1 of use. Went through all the usual pain points but I got a dud.
Spend the money on brand name. If can't swing the big two go w an Echo. Got a 590 60cc, luv it. Bought holzforma 372xp year ago. Ive cut maybe 1 cord w it. Replaced pull rope after 2nd use. OEM carb to get it running good. OEM oiler cuz original wasn't doing it for 24". Don't know if that's working because when I went to start it it was locked up. Pulled plug, muffler, and recoil. All looked good. Turned fly by hand. Very hard at first but freed up. Put recoil on and worked fine. Replaced everything else. Tried to start and was locked up again. Couldn't break loose this time. At shop now, waiting to hear damage. Again don't waste $ on these P O S(💩💩💩). Again Echo less $ than the big names. Unfortunately they won't warranty if you get it on line.
Well said had a 372 clone and by the time I fixed everything could by a echo 590. Which I did and sold the clone, and love it. Echo 590 is best bang for your buck will last years and even cuts faster than the clone 372 with a muffler mod.
#FoolinU -- get you a real NGK and put side by side - you'll likely see the font & colour of the NGK on your G372's plug is slightly off. Yes Sir, the HLIC carbs aren't too bad. I've also had good luck with the Nimtek ones from the jungle website too.
Nice video love how you went through everything! Been going to order a g372 myself and since you ordered straight from China, can you tell me if there's anything other import fees or anything that we have to pay when we order straight from holtzfforma? Thanks any info on this would be greatly appreciated because we wouldn't want any surprise charges or fees
I’ve ordered a few from Holzfforma direct and hadn’t had any additional fees. But the shipping is Like $80 or something. No additional fees here in the US
I bought one, wish I hadn't. Nothing but trouble. Engine locked up while not in use. I have no idea how it's possible but it did. Maybe a clip or pin fell out in bottom of engine.
@@Man-Time Get a neotech Husky 395 clone. Neo tec is coming out with a 3120 Husky clone now,i want to see how they are on price,big cc saws are far more fun to run in larger woood.
