200t gurus lend me your ear

Does the 200t benefit at all with a timing advance?

This saw already had a muffler mod and ran great. I haven't checked squish yet but I thought a base gasket delete couldn't hurt if it fits.

Any other easy to mods?

I think Brad got decent results with a small timing advance. Not too many of the Stihls like more timing.

No the 200T gets slower with advanced timing. The 201T loves it.

All you can do is try it out. You can easily set the flywheel back in place without replacing the key or flywheel is it is integral.
I've heard tons of advise on not advancing timing on Husqvarna... that they don't like it, but that's not true. Same goes with Stihl. Different mods and sich can benefit from advancing when others don't. So again...there's no harm in trying.
I'm not trying to crap on anyone's face here, I'm giving my own personal experience.

I tried doing it to my 200T after my 201T loved it, but the 200T was slower after. I suppose YMMV.
