ms200t twiglatch

[Tree Man Tom]

Ive snapped the twiglatch on my ms200t, you know... the bit that you have depress before you can pull the throttle in?

 

Im going to have to take the handle apart to replace it, but am i right in thinking that generally when you take the handle apart on an 020 that everything flings out and is a mission to put back together?

 

The saw still works fine, so i doubt its a job il get around to ASAP

 

Anyone replaced one before? Will it be just easier for me to take it to a dealer rather than me trying to mess about putting the handle and all the controls back toegther myself?

 

Cheers

They are a bugger to do Tom, but not impossible. Take your time with it. I have cracked the oil tank in mine!!!

Three courses of action;

 

1. Dealer.

 

2. Take the handle assembly to pieces in a methodical fashion and lay all the parts out on a bench in order to put them back together correctly.

 

3. Few turns of insulation tape round the grip safety to keep it in permanently, and forget about it.

 

Take your pick.

It's a doddle mate, just take it apart slowly and put everything in order as you remove it. Nothing will ping out if you take your time.

how the feck did you crack the oil tank young man ??

as for the handle if you were near me (cornwall) i would more than happily do it for you , i have done a few now but i dont mind saying that the first one that i did was a nightmare as it did all spring out but a bit of thinking and a cool head and you will be able to put it all back together mate . its probably an hours work at the most .

This should also help.

i tok the handle on mine to bits last week if you lay the saw on its side and as said before remove the cover with care nothing flies out. i had to repair the stop switch which turned out to be a broken wire so nice easy fix

you could take photos of it as your doing it so you know where everything goes

Buy a service manual from any dealer.. they are indispensable
