I've never owned a 200T that didn't have the muffler rattle off, and I bought 4 of them! It was and still is a design flaw. Never wore out a 200T's original piston rings or jugs, just the mufflers n jug tags that hold the muffler on...... Jomo

So I took it back to the dealership today. Paid them 44 bucks to ship it back to the factory for analysis. The saw was in a pristine state with high compression. The owner informed me this particular overheating issue's pretty widespread. Pretty sad when a 30 year old 020 AVE old school...
