200t

[skyhuck]

but thinking hard about this the anti vibe is far better on the 338 and im thinking that been awoken by pins and needles every morning especially after doing 3 tanks on an ms200 the day before is making me thinking of sticking with the 338 on that aspect alone.

 

I get that some times, but only if I lay on my arms with them bent up, so I squash my bicep and cut off the circulation to my hands.

Just for future reference whats the cost on a new new carb?

 

I think they are about £60ish but don't hold me to that as I'm lying on the sofa and not at work.

Hear good things about the ms192 at the mo & after using one for a day I was sold.

Just have to get me act together to import one as they not over hear for some resson?

 

The MS 192T is marketed in Denmark, but let me tell you, it isn't built for everyday use. The engine-body (for lack of a better term) is made from plastic rather than aluminium, and the engine lacks power. On the up side, it is a bit lighter.

 

My partner uses a 192T, and I am tired of listening to his complaints about it.

 

Just my 2 pennies worth

I get that but I thought it was more to do with trapping the ulnar nerve, although with me its just usually the little and ring finger that gets pins and needles.

My whole hand gets pins and needles and some times goes totally numb.

Timely thread .Fact is as I type I have two threads going on two different sites of what the problem is as well as one carb in shipment to Stihl in Virginia Beach for them to examine .

 

Here's the deal,the older carbs develop leaks around the triangular shaped welch plugs in the metering chamber .The newer ones which are cast solid with no plugs develop cracks in them for some reason .

 

I repaired one of each style within the last two days using Loc-tite 271 .They seem to be working so far . Both my 200 Ts ,one stock ,one souped up seem to operate just fine .

 

Now I'm not saying this is the magic cure all but it could serve to keep a saw runnng until a better carb is located for a proper repair .

I thought the problem was the piston was wearing the carb body as well as failing itself so it was a new carb not just the piston to get a complete repair.

 

Not from what I have been told. Can't see the piston getttin any place near the carb bod iom..

 

I hear it somthing to do with the fuel injection mec that has been modified that causes the prob.

 

I have no great writeing comunication skills so I apolagise for that but I asure you from what I have seen/done & told the £10 bit works in imo. Fuel pump chrome where out an all that...

Pins and needles in the thumb, index finger, middle finger and one side of the ring finger is typically caused by "carpal tunnel syndrome", see http://www.medinfo.co.uk/conditions/carpaltunnel.html

 

There are several treatments, one of which is a minor operation that severs a ligament in the base of the palm. I had that operation done a week ago (see picture), and it gave me instant relief!

 

Only down side is that I've been told not to climb or operate a chainsaw for 6 weeks (I guess I'll follow that advise about 50% ).
