I have done full refund on hundreds of these saws. Most owners love them and the ones without 200s want one!

The average repair bill is under £200, the worst under£300.

Worn cranks are about as bad as it gets, carb issues get fixed in with the cost of the refurb apart from the cost of spares.

I believe there are a few happy customers of mine out there:sneaky2:

I try to stay away from doing business with family and friends.

However, when I do, I always have a clear understand!

In your situation, I would agree to give asking price if repair is within reason. If not, price would be adjusted accordingly after inspection.

Have him agree that you can do a compression check and if it is in the 150# range, decide on price.

On most 2 stroke engines, I pull the muffler and take a look at piston/cylinder but very difficult to tell much with these saws.

I have rebuilt an sold many 200T and, IMHO they are the best for me to deal with.

These saws have a few problems, such as:

1)--Muffler mounting screws loosening up and allowing escaping exhaust to damage bottom of saw-- if not corrected.

2)--Chinese carburetors are notorious for problems but can sometimes be repaired/modified.

3)--Rubber intake boot and impulse line.

4)-- Exhaust damaged clutch side cover.

I am in United States and most I sell a really nice 200t for is around $450.00

Like I said, I have sold MANY but now have four really nice ones for sale and sales have slowed down, for some reason.
