Stihl MS201T or MS200T

[Ian F]

with the new one out in june and everybody flocking to buy it i will wait and pick up 200t's a bit cheaper so they can clear old stock

The thing is, i don't think they will have any left by then. But if there are you may find them going for even more than a new one

I spoke to Stihl today and they are still making the 200T in Germany, so we might not see it until the end of the year.

I always wondered what they are for?

 

Not being funny but you usually dont see them on pro saws just the semi-pro or hedge trimmers. Even then a never need to use them!

 

alot of pro huskys have them

The MS192T also has a fuel primer

Yes but WHY?

 

 

What purpose do they serve????

 

All i can see what they do is manually pump fuel from the tank to the saw.

 

Carbs have done this on their own for years.

Well, the PRO Stihl FS-130 (and KM-130) brush cutter 4-mix engine also uses a fuel primer, so even Stihl already use them for pro-range products.

 

But why they choose to fill the carb fuel chamber using a primer pump, I don't know. Possibly it saves a few pulls when starting cold, so you don't have to have the carb membrane suck-in the fuel.

[broadsword]

is it a primer or a purge?

What's a purge?
