    How we do it

    I usually go bonkers on these things . I think however on this model of saw if a person just made a thinner gasket or used sealant you could raise the comp enough you really wouldn't have to fiddle with the porting if you aren't sure of how to do it . With sealant I imagine you could lower the...

    How we do it

    McMaster -Carr page 2594 .Unmounted silicon carbide rubberized points . I use item 477A61 and mandrel 477A34 .Medium grit . You get 25 in a pakage for 12-13 bucks and 3-4 bucks for the mandrel . Not bad considering mounted points are 3-5 bucks a pop or more . These do so well I seldom use...

    The subject on this one is the Stihl MS 200 T . I recently did some improvements to mine with very good results so I thought I'd give a few hints in case anybody was interested . As with any saw engine the biggest improvement can be realized by improving flow out the exhaust ,this model is no...
