Nate, I too have purchased the Holtzfforma 372XP about a 1 1/2 years ago. Haven't got it to run very long maybe 2 tanks. Opened the carb and found a small metal chip had poked a hole in the diaphragm and that's why the fuel was leaking and the plug wet. We put glue in the hole, it ran good for half a tank then the glues is gone. Ordered the kit last week, want to get it running. Your recommendations are spot on! a) tighten all screws. b) gotta love to tinker...which I don't, 3) order the extra parts kit, 4) for the money there is value for some users....I think I would have been better off going and testing more types (sizes) of saws. If I can get it running good, I will use on bigger logs with 24" blade. Thank you.
@@toolingaround1979 The 066 clone I have is solid built. I know a few guys running them on youtube. One guy mills alot of lumber with them and has had ecellent luck.

Recoil spring broke on mine.
Was the purchase worth it? How many tanks before it broke or hours of use? Thx
They broke all the time 😢
These are horribly made ,I would never reccomend one to any one. Neotec is a far superior saw .
Have you had much experience with the neotec? I’ve been tempted to buy one to try it.
