    I just went to use my 350 the other day when I rocked the chain on my 346XP. Somehow between the last time I used it and this time it seemed to have developed an air leak or something. Could be a carb issue. I dunno, all I know is that it falls on it's face when I pull the fun flipper. I put a new fuel line on it a couple years ago after a mouse chewed that. Oh, and it also does leak bar oil. Started doing that a few years ago.

    My 170, and 290 don’t leak a drop of oil or gas. Both of those saws are older than the 210 too. Maybe I’ve just had good luck over the years with the other two. ‍♂️
