Ms 200t carb servicing

[yesyesjacko]

Merry Christmas fellow members.

 

I've recently upgraded to a ms201t as I'm in the process of upgrading some equipment. I know there is a massive debate between the two but 12 month warranty swayed me after giving the 200t a new pot and piston and clutch in recent weeks. But I'm after moving the 200t on and was wondering if anyone local (Wigan/Bolton) does a refurbishment service for the carb before I sell it. I'm not one for selling something that needs attention and want to sell something they can use straight away.

 

Cheers

Does the saw have a steady idle, rev out, pickup ok, if it does these things then the carb is probably OK.

 

A carb rebuild should include a new carb kit, new accelerator pump and a good clean.

 

A carb that needs a rebuild will either have a poor uneven or non existent idle, bogging, poor pickup or not rev out.

It's bogging Spud. The guy who looks after our gear said it was on its way and the last time we used it, it came close to getting thrown out the window on the way back home lol

Bogging can be a lean idle screw - try turning the L screw out 1/4 turn and try again.

 

If that doesn't work, it may well be the accelerator pump, takes some skill to replace it as it is a bit tricky. It may be the gauze filter in the carb blocked with wood chip.

 

If you want to post it, I can service it but havent got an MS200 to try it on but have a high percentage success rate on these saws/carbs - as you say, probably better to get a local tech to fix it!

Saws going to have a complete clean tomorrow ready for pictures and I'll clean the carb. Give it one last try and see what exactly it's doing. But drop me a DM with your number please

Thanks
