Ms 200t problems not staying running and barely idles and revs high then cuts out

[spudulike]

I think he is taking it to me and am happy to sort it out. I think, like most 200ts, it has had a life and will probably benefit from a strip, clean inspect and rebuild but will reserve judgement until he passes it over.

I wonder how many of these I have done over the years, must be 500 or so, perhaps more.

That's good. 

Regarding qty of 200t's, blimey. So how many 200t's sold in UK do you think ? Just wondering what your 500 is as a fraction of the total .....

Americans would be worshiping you if they knew you'd rebuilt 500 of them.

No idea on the total sold but I have sometimes had 5 in from single customers, 2-3 from many.......I buy 20 off chain catchers at a time and most need them! TBH they have been a good model for me once I got my head round all their little foibles! 

I went through peak weeks of 4-6 in per week and that was pretty usual!

It is just the way it is....cult saw, many love it and want the saw gone over completely and thoroughly!

Well it's a good thing you like anchovies because if my 540 ever breaks i'm bringing it to you! 😂

And I will direct you to the village pond!

What a strange place for the handover. Oh well, i suppose it's nice to get out and about if you work from home!

As they say, preparedness is next to cleanliness.

 

I mean, i think that's what they say, it's something along those lines i'm sure.
