Got to really try my ebay 372XP today and was very impressed.
Love that saw, was a good purchase and did not disappoint.

One question for you fellas, when first started and even a bit after warmed up, if saw is idling and i rev it up to cut it stutters a bit before revving.
Once revved up it has great power and runs like a champ. Let it back to idle and it acts the same way. It would do this each time i started it for a few minutes then run better. If i shut down even for a few minutes it would start this stutter thing again.

Any suggestions? I put a new fuel filter on it and adjusted the carb. The saw came from somewhere in CA and i am @7100 ft. in Wyoming.
Think its elevation related? Not really a big deal more of an annoyance, but would like to find the problem.

Thanks for your suggestions!
 
Twist the L just a tad counterclockwise and then maybe the T (idle) a little clockwise

I will try that, thanks!
 
I think I read somewhere that it's pretty normal until the saw gets up to operating temp.
But it it's really bad, try changing up your idle mix like above.
