201tc cutting out

Morning all I've been asked to look at a friend's 201tc that's playing silly buggers.

Took it out for a trial last week and it cuts fine on small to medium branches 1-4 inches but as soon as you try to use the dogs teeth to roll it into a cut it cuts out, it does the same if you push on the handle while cutting. I'm thinking its an earth fault as the saw dies so quickly. Just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same of had any other ideas before I start out stripping the saw down.

Could be the condenser, common problem with these models.

Are you sure it isn't the contact breakerO.o..............what year are you from, we are on coils, ignition modules and Autotune, the days of condensers, trigger units and contact breakers are gone unless you are running vintage kit,

I take it that the machine isn't the TCM Mtronic version?

First thing to do is to put it running on the ground with the brake on, stick your foot on the white engine top and then flex the handle around to see if that kills it. If it does it may be a wiring issue or hose issue depending if the saw dies immediately or revs go up and down a bit.

If the saw only dies under load, check the gauze strainer as the most likely issue.

If you think it is the kill circuit, take the recoil cover off and disconnect the kill wire from the coil and try again.
