I think 201 tc-m is m tronic and tc isnt. Might be wrong though. If it had a carb h and l jet adjust itll be non electronic carb. It check they are on factory settings and try running it. Obvs check the fuel filter isnt totally clogged as well

Hi Bill any ideas where the adjustments are ?

That’s an m tronic saw. Can see the port on it to plug into computer. That’s what it will need doing to see what error code it is throwing

It always amazes me how little some know about the kit that powers their income.....It is an Mtronic saw, the three position switch and little cover in front of the oil cap shows this....glad I asked.

A few things worth checking, probably the solenoid is the issue.....just find out where it is and change it. Worth checking the gauze strainer in the carb and swapping the spark plug.

If it isn't these things then take it in to a decent tech.

Oh.....those little fiddly wires below where the handle joins the front of the machine can break and cock the machine up - worth checking these as well!

No, he doesn't know what saw he has and wants us to fix it!

Luckily this isn’t powering my income! 
Thanks for your advice though, know a decent tech in Gloucestershire?

Try ADW on here, he is more Husqvarna but may sort it!
