On MS200Ts you have two types of muffler, one with an open front and one with a closed front apart from the exhaust hole.

 

The open fronted one has a small bolt on the bottom of the hole about 1" from the right hand side, undo it and withdraw it.

 

The closed front one doesn't have one.

 

My job here is done, my pupils have seen the light:thumbup:

See if you can swap the carb with a known good one.

 

There were a few dodgy types of carbs on the 200T.

Over here I have never seen a 200T muffler without a spark screen. Just unscrew the bolt and pull this screen out and it will wake the 200T right up.

 

Just check your carb setting sometimes you will have to richen it up afterwords.

Nice one Spud. So this 200t is a 2003 closed exhaust saw with a zama carb

Lagging on pickup - make sure the air filter is clean, most lag in pickup from low revs is the L screw needs turning counter clockwise - around 1/4 turn and then adjust the idle as the richer mix will drop the revs.

Just make sure that if you adjust the H screw which controls almost flat out mix, you get it right as if it is too weak, your piston will become toast.

The saw should "burble" at high revs - yours sounds like the L setting.

 

If this doesn't do it you may have a split carb boot - if this is the case, you may fry the piston due to the air leak.
