Cold Blooded MS200T?

[Paddy1000111]

I really wish I deleted the base gasket on my 200t but now its up and running perfectly I don't want to ?? 

I'm going to install a threaded insert designed for thermoplastics. 6mm course thread on the outside, M4 in the centre then just use the M4 screw fittings. I don't want to install a bigger thread and go through the same garbage again!

As Wyk days, you can tell pretty much what the compression and piston/ cylinder are like by slowly pulling the engine over. Some saws have a slightly larger or smaller recoil pulley that can mislead you but generally you can tell.

I find with my tester that s brisk first pull will give a reading of 1/2  your final reading after 5-6 pulls.

I stuck a presta valve in my Gunson gauge as it kept destroying Schrader valves on modified saws.
