You are missing something.
Are you pulling the cord out while holding the starter cover up to the saw case so you set the pawls in the starter?

Nope
You have to seat the pawls. Push the starter up against the saw in as close as you can get to screwed down location and slowly pull the starter cord until you hear / feel the pawls seat and the cover goes flush with the saw case. You should be able to gently pull the starter and the piston should move a bit move a bit
Hold it there, start the screws and tighten them. Don't let the starter pop back out.

There are updated pawls for that 4200, the new part number is 530042064. Old one was 530042038, and it tended to skip away from the starter ratchets, pissing you off when trying to start it. 
It's prob easier to seat the dogs/pawls by already having the cord pulled out a bit. Then let the cord slowly retract as you're putting the cover on. Tim’s method also works though.

The paws are probably already bent if you tightened the cover down and couldn't pull the saw over...
You need to try a 505 with a MS660 piston in it that has been ported. There are several people here that have done this.
Then my first wild thing I did with 66 piston for testing out, back 2012-13.
Great strong running saws with the extra compression that you get from the MS660 piston.
I’ll have to check.
WTF?, as in a Stihl 066 top end that you tried to put on a Wild Thing?
The top cover is still stock...
Lol, I was thinking the about the 40cc plastic trim saws.
I should have looked closer at the 2nd picture, that’s a big saw, but was looking on a cell phone.
I had really missed the color of purple bad.
Scott Kunz showed me later the right purple to use for a WT.
Size differences.

Does anyone know where I can get a good check valve that pulsates the oiler on a micro series saw. I have one that is letting bar oil seep into crankcase.
I just picked one up last night that looks to have the same problem. I’ve never messed with one of these micros.
Check with Mr. Todd. He was making them.
