ms200t lacks power

[Al Smith]

Usually what kills a 020 or 200T is the exhaust side gets fried .Argumentative perhaps but my thought is air leaks .Dust ingestion will scarf the intake side but usually won't do that much harm . If the chrome isn't burned up and the piston all gouged up a set of rings might bring it back .

 

To bring one back with a new cylinder and piston assembley is half the price of the saw when new which is what the saw with consideration of the age is worth now if in good running condition .

The piston usually wears before the cylinder unless the saw has seized etc, Meteor are the best non OEM pistons.

 

I use a Gunson Hi Gauge although I do have two others.
