Was using my 201 today on a dusty conifer job and it decided it was going to conk out on a back cut (what better time), anyway got it running again after clearing out the clogged up air filter. but after about half and hour of use it decided it wasn't playing anymore.

It runs with hardly any power when the throttle is fully down and as soon as you take you finger off the trigger it dies.

Its been running at a lower power the past couple of months but not been a issue particularly.

My assumption is some crap has got in to the carb.

Has anyone else got any other ideas? if it is the carb is it easy enough to sort yourself or should i just hand it over to the work shop for them to sort.

Thanks in advance people.:001_smile:

It is possible the gauze filter is clogged with fine wood chip, if it is one of the 2011 - 2014 models then doing a bit of work on the muffler and the flywheel usually makes them closer to the MS200T, done many conversions and it works!

 

"Easy" depends on how good someone is at dismantling and rebuild of assemblies and fault finding!

There is an upgrade kit part number 1145-007-1802 if your saw is an early model. It includes flywheel with altered timing, ignition module and carb for about £100.

I upgraded my early rubbish one and it was a ripper.

 

However....

 

In your situation I would just buy a new 201 (yours is 5 years old after all!) and see if the old 'un could be fixed as a spare.
