Depends on what saw youre thinking of removing the base gasket from. Best to check squish to be sureI'll be picking up some thin solder to check squish and will likely delete the gasket anyways but just wanted to ask about reusing them... Am I asking for trouble?
Exactly.I don't think any reputable dealer would reuse a cylinder base gasket. I have on my own stuff but any good tech will do their outmost to give a paying customer's saw the best chance of long the survival. That includes replacing gaskets when the head is removed. Very cheap insurance really.
