i do run clean poulan oil in the 335, if i ever run it in a tree i dont want it dripping black goo all over me. the others i run anything that lubricates, and yes most of it is black.
as far as 357s go. i find them to be like a 16ga shotgun. so in between as to be useless. also, every single one ive ever picked up was cold blooded. even if it sits for 5 minutes it takes a 5 or 10 pull sequence to get it going. its to the point im thinking about how to rig up a system using a cordless drill for a starter. put on a nut driver that i can put on the nut on the flywheel and turn it over til it runs.
if i want a big saw, i want a big saw, and i grab a 372. if i want a small saw, i want a small saw, and i grab the 346. whereas my dad likes the 357 and likes to grab one saw to do everything so if you see him with a saw in his hand, its that one.
and im not gunna open the ford chevy argument here.
