I always wondered why my employers never rebuilt there burnt out 200t's. I recently bought a 200t in pretty good shape (commercial standards) paint has barely been worn on the bar, probobly original chain etc. It won't idle worth of ####. So I rebuilt carb, tryed a new carb, new fuel filter, spark plug, air filter. Im almost positive it's pooched. I haven't looked at the cylinder yet to see if it's still good. I can do basic repairs but im in way over my head when it comes to putting a new cylinder or piston in. I was thinking of buying a new cylinder/piston/rings combo from baileys for $225 and get my mechanic to install it for an hour or so labour $70-$100. That would bring me in the 450-$500 range all said and done to what I have into it. Or I could just buy a new 200t for $800 taxes in or so?
