You make it look so damn easy!!!

Send all you want to me I can fix them for you no problem.

I might just do that

LW what's your take on a base gasket delete for these, worth it? Or any mods for that matter?

I noticed the windows in the Meteor piston are considerably smaller than OEM

Could i ask you a question ....the grey wire that runs to the coil over the front av mount. It disappears through a grommet on the top of the oil tank or does it rout to the coil another way ? Had a ms 200 with the back handle in that wouldn't turn off...traced it to that grey wire but did a spliced in repair without stripping all the grey out .

Ask Def Dave about me.

The delete will give you more compression. You must measure the squish first so it is not too tight.

Oh we've already had a discussion about you Steve

Definitely will check squish if I go that route. I was more curious if you think the gasket delete is worth the effort?

Are the seals that really a PITA or.......?

Not a big gain slightly noticeable. Its not on my list of to do things. Test it out if you like time some cuts stock then using the same log time it with the delete. I cant imagine much difference but very slight improvement.

I can pop a stock seal out in 12 seconds. Most people have a lot of trouble with them cause they are so small. I can teach you how if you need . I find aftermarket seals way harder to work on.

I've pulled many seals. The most difficult for me so far has been the FW seal on the 026/024.
I have yet to attempt this 200.
I'm all ears if you got a trick up your sleeve

Jeremy


Edit: they weren't really difficult, just required me to adapt a few different tools and hold my tongue just right

If you have a few of these saws Id be happy to work out a deal helping.

Nice work LW, you are definitely the official king of the 200's.
I think a little rebuild video is in order from you. Probably only need a couple minutes anyway. I'm sure a lot of guys would benefit. I know Mattyo did a video but you are the king after all.
