Could be any number of things .  The little gauze filter in the carb blocked possibly . Impuls line detatched / split etc etc ...Also you might get more suggestions if the title of your thread was something like . .. "200t problems " or similar rather than just your user name .  Spud will have a list of things to check if he spots your thread .

I use to work for dave at langley logs I believe I have met you a few times before and I contacted you a while back about my last employers saws but managed to lose your number and never got back to you which I apologise for, I now work for thors trees in potters bar. However the 200t is is my personal saw I brought to tinker with.

oh good, someone's been in there already,  messed with it....not in a good way. That will need a thorough going through (or new carb). A bit of luck with location 👍

OK, yes, I remember, I think you picked up the 280 and the 461 that I split and did the crank on.

Just PM me if you want it done. It is probably the carb and I fix the vast majority of them. 

It would probably benefit from a full rebuild but choice is yours. Just PM me if interested.

New genuine wouId have accel pump too...

If you want to keep the original carb,  take it to Spud, best person to get it back to original spec and test it. Plenty of advice on here but you might end up chasing your tail if you're not familiar with it or dont have vauuum / pressure test eqpt.
