    If its a new one there designed to run without the sulpher bit some won't hurt. An older one I would do it. I read folks run it anywhere from 250-350:1 of tcw3 2 stroke. I use super tech. Or whatever I have for the boat. Oil won't hurt a new one either.

    I dump partial qts of trans fluid or old two stroke oil I have had at the farm in mine. But something tells me that the fuel here in america is nothing g like the fuel that my 30+ year old yanmar was designed to run on in japan:eek:

    I put power service in mine too , to quiet the diesel knock in the 2 cyl down. It says it lines too but on a list I saw of lubricity it was like #7. Super tech tcw3 was in the top three for lubricity additives from some report done by either a diesel mag or website that I read. The list circles the internet.

    Yes.

    My newest tractor wont run worth a flip if I don't keep the injectors lubed well. The older ones I can run with a little less oil.

    As much as I like a good diesel thread...I'll redirect.

    Here's my take on this. Mastermind doesn't have a bag of PFM (pure f'n magic) that he pulls out and sprinkles on these saws. He can only help them do what they were designed to do better. Doesn't matter if the carb is mtronic or not. Fuel is fuel...Air is air....flow is flow....compression is compression. You can only pick up what was left on the table. The saw has 9% more displacement and not much was left on the table.

    :thumbs: .

    I love them both. For different reasons.

    Listen to how fast that 362 spools up!! It's a pizz revving monster! ! ;) Much higher RPM!! The 665 has torque that goes for days!!

    It's all in what you want. :)

    Heck no! Go for it. I wouldnt have a saw I couldnt call and get a part from a local dealer or punch in on ebay or somewhere and get parts?? Hell I was interested but not when u cant pull up their website and look at different models? Saw is impressive but not for me when u cant even find one on the internet?
