201 tcm issues.

[carlos]

got a 201tcm at work which keeps stalling on idle and just not running that great.

we have put in a new plug and took it to a repair place who said it was a dirty air filter, although we have another saw which gets the same maintenance and runs fine.

i feel the next step is a new air filter.

any one experience these issue and get it sorted?

cant stand climbing saws that dont idle.

thanks carl.

Check plug, airfilter, fuel filter and clutch springs. The carb may need to be reset.

[Steve Bullman]

Have you tried swapping the air filter with the other saw?

[Mick Dempsey]

Whatever the answer is, it’s not the air filter.

Fuel solenoid, mine did that, common fault, £18 part

thanks for all the replies, yes steve we were saying we should swap air filters to rule that out.

although i have seen air filters that are crazy blocked up and the saw has always run ok but maybe the new m tronics are more fussy.

id say we will try the fuel solinoid too , easy to do? would it be worth swapping with the working saw or better to just stick a new one on?

thanks again for the replies.

Mines the same been and had a new plug in but sick of it. Prefer my older non m tronic saw bever had any issues other than fuel tank breathers leaking!

I replaced the chip rather than flaffing. Sorted all the issues I was having

Good stuff, how much was the chip?
