I have a friend who happened upon a 200t in a pawn shop he got it at a good price and is willing to work with me as far as price. Before I purchase this I want ensure that the piston and cylinder are OEM. Is there a way to tell by lettering or something else? What are other things that I need to be checking to ensure this thing is not a dud. The buddy pulled a compression test on it and it revealed 125 I can check it with my gauge but I have no reason to doubt him. Mind you we live at 6200' so compression here is always low but that seem right in the ball park for what I would expect. Muffler extraction revealed some minor scratching on the cylinder wall but I have not looked at the piston. The minor scratching was what he told me. The plastics on the saw look quite nice so that leads me to believe it is either smothered in lip stick or truly is a gem. Please advise what else I should be looking at.
