Future project for it Steve!

Yup, thats Brad in the US, he does some pretty trick stuff to many saws, asked him for a bit of advice here and there - cheaper than forking up expensive cylinders!

 

I think Burrell would like to test out the 372 when done as he has just got a busted one for fixing!

id love a brad tunned 200t

The problem with the 200 is its already a pretty hot saw in stock form, mods make a bit of an improvement but not a massive transformation.

A friend gave me a 2004 044 to look at as it would run fine and then stall, I took a look at the diaphragms and they were pretty stiff, (saw had been shelved fueled) I called up my local dealer to buy the new diaphragms and it turns out the saw has a USA spec Walboro carb on it, which is a little unusual but anyway, replaced the diaphragms and it was the same, just thought I would swap the NGK plug and it solved the problem immediately.

 

I always use Bosh plugs on my saws.

Do you find a difference in performance ? Never used anything but NGK

[MattyF]

Don't bosch have fixed end ? I find the NGK pretty awful as the threaded ends always fall off.

[High Scale]

Bosh have always been reliable, which is why I use them.

Yup and I have read the thread that accompanied that vid and it is what I have found - the exhaust port can be widened but by not that much, the inlet port can barely be widened - if anyone disagrees then feel free to do so and snag the rings:001_rolleyes:

 

The squish can be lowered by around 0.4 - 0.5mm and the muffler can be modded that can make a decent difference.

 

Peter is right, don't know if he is repeating what I have found but it is fact.

 

The only thing I haven't tried is messing with the ignition timing.

[Peter]

I have done my homework on it, there are a few super modded 200 around, but they are not practical for everyday work saws and don't live too long.
