I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with my old MS-200T and I have a new carb ordered for it.
Today I pulled the muffler off to look at the piston and it was pristine.
But, like a dumb ***, I hit the bottom of the saw and side with some air from a blow gun on the compressor
before it dawned on me that I had the muffler off. I looked at the piston and saw some tiny flecks of sawdust
on the piston skirt. I dont know if any got into the crankcase or not and I dont remember exactly what position the piston
was in when I hit the saw with air.

So, is this something that I need to be worried about and requiring a complete teardown ?

Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
