I've only ported one 200T, and that was several years ago. I would run it down to .016" if that's what you end up with without a gasket. Might take Matt up on his suggestion of installing a Caber ring while you're in there.

Were the P&C another AM brand when they couldn't keep them going for a month?I have three tree crews running these kits, ZERO issues. One crew can't keep a saw running much past a month because of abuse they subject the saws to. I think they use them for pounding in posts and chopping wood. That saw is now going on about 4 months.
I used two three months ago. One didn't hold up very well, it's down to 120 psi on two tanks. A tear down revealed the rings were trash and the plating just above the cylinder was worn. I think the cylinder was not exactly round. The second is at 145 psi without a gasket and doing well. I'm going to try another myself.... Both are tree service saws! If I thought they were going to be a problem, I'd pull the sales. I've got several others out there with no word about failure or success either really.
This is a new product were carrying http://www.weedeaterman.com/product_p/h30201.htm
Maybe the solution? And I haven't tried this one myself yet... looking for a 200T to use one on here too!
They were OEM. His crew is a bunch of yahoos and one in particular. Thinks he can fix saws and you can't tell him anything. Last week they wanted an MS 250 for a ground saw... no problems. It came back three times because they were flooding it..... The fix, I showed up on site and showed them how to start and tune a saw. Should have seen that spectacle and my opinion of the 250 is changed! 16" fully buried in white oak and pushing down hard, I did a MM to it and that thing flat cuts. They want another one like yesterday!Were the P&C another AM brand when they couldn't keep them going for a month?
You can do whatever you like with your money.If you have an MS 200T I can tell you they are worth fixing right. Those saws are money makers if being used by a Tree service. Just put the stock parts in it !
I dont have a dog in the race its just my take on it!You can do whatever you like with your money.![]()
Who's going to run it ?I've got about 400.00 into one already. I have a good OEM top end for it, but am going to try the weedeaterman top end instead......
I have been using them since they first came out . Nothing but carb problems the whole time! Now there seems to be the accelerator pump fix that I did in a couple of them and its working so far. I can tell you the Meteor pistons work well but not the C clips!It's my own saw.......we use a MS150 and a 200T quite a bit when we cut firewood. I don't know how anyone can manage without a top handle saw.
They sure do sharpen up fast compared to 3/8 .It's my own saw.......we use a MS150 and a 200T quite a bit when we cut firewood. I don't know how anyone can manage without a top handle saw.
Then why the comment against using the product? Have you used one of the Hyway 200T kits?I dont have a dog in the race its just my take on it!
