Hi,
our ms 200's plastic bolt threadings on the outer casing (starter rope side) are too used to work. I tried putting in a heli coil in each but they don't seem to work well in plastic threads. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe somebody knows a site that specializes in this stuff? thanks, Island
 
Are they the ones towards the rear (carb side) of the saw? Or the front (chain brake side)?

There are two different types of screws, coarse thread and fine thread, put on or the other in the wrong spot and you have ruined the holes. Or have an overaggressive tightener and the holes will get stripped out.
 
the holes, carb side, got stripped out and have been half holding for about 6 months so I decided to do something about it. I am aware of the different bolts threadings, and don't even remember what was on them last(it's not my machine and it's pretty old, but work's great otherwise). thanks for the reply.
