Chainsaw Repair

Power wise they are identical.  Some guys argue that the 338 is faster while the 200T is more reliable.  This for me is hard to believe with all the carb issues the 200 has had but I have no first hand experience running one in the field to judge.  The original 334 had some bugs but most if not all of them were weeded out by the 338. 

Things to look for: intake boot, air filter seal, cover over muffler.  The also have an auto decomp system but it has been very reliable in comparison to the 357xp (mine is removed though).  In my opinion, a very solid saw although the cost has driven us to replace them with 435T's
