Dont get talked out of this saw by people here. What is the compression reading? You can get a muffler from good old Definitive Dave. Those older carbs can still be found.
how many, if any parts are shared with an 020AV?
None that I can think of at all. Not even the piston, the 020 AV uses a 38 mm and the 020 and MS 200T use a 40mm.
Its fairly valuable I sold one for 300.00 in nice shape. Got pics? Look at the piston and rings through he muffler. Dave will sell you an aftermarket muffler at a fair price.
Not the best to use, I have tried. The carb is MIA?
Check the rubber buffers 1 at lower handle mount 2 upper they break or wear.
Dave has them too. Any scoring on the piston as viewed from the exhaust port? And check the left and rt crank bearings by moving the flywheel up and down and the clutch side too. Other then that the rubber boot at the carb should be checked for tears.
I love those little saws and enjoy working on them. Any problem you have with that saw I will help you with easily.
No worries I got used parts here. Or you can get a farmer tech cyl and a piston from Dave new , not expensive. Any up and down play in the rod ,side to side is ok?
Ok so buy the parts from Dave if you are capable of repair and I can tell you are. If you prefer I have used parts here or I can fix it for you any way you want to do it. New crank seals would be in order , then a pressure test so it stays together with no problems. I would be happy to fix it for you or guide you on the phone, I know the saw very well so no trouble. I prefer the stock Bakelite seals to the aftermarket black rubber ones.
