ms 200t tuning

[travis]

hi yes, i bet this has been asked over and over again.

but, is there a video somewhere of how to tune a stihl.

i'm not very good at hearing when an engine is right or wrong.

also i'm trying to tune the saw to run on aspen.

 

and what size files do i need for the chain.?

5/32" file.

No idea about tuning though.

[Gnarlyoak]

Yep, as Scotty says, 5/32" file or 4mm if you wanna be metric.

 

If you have'nt got an MS200T manual which tells you how to tune your saw, then you can download a copy in PDF format from this link.

Hope this helps.

I cant get my 200t to run on aspen the rest of my saws did not need touched they pick up fine, but the 200t just wont lift even when the low jet is tweaked, so you may find that aspen is the problem not your tuning ability.

i am not dissing aspen i think it is excellent but my older 200t does not like it.

A good tuning article:

You will want to use a tacho to do it properly.

thanks, i've decided to stop running the ms200t on aspen, i really couldn't get it to run right.

husqvarna on the otherhand say aspen is the only fuel they recommend.

thanks again
