200t wont stop

[Ollie Wall]

as the thread states runs but the stop switch won't stop the saw, had to take the cover of and pull the spark plug out........any sugestions:blushing:

Theres a wire that often comes loose, someobdy will be along in a min to tell you how to fix it. Just switch it to choke next time to kill the saw.

[Ollie Wall]

thanks mate it was a bit hectic trying to get the plug out!!

Black wire under the front of the top handle.

 

Also check your rubber av mounts, as if they are starting to wear there will be increased play in the handle, which can cause the wire to pull off at the spade terminal under the handle.

Just switch it to choke and the engine will stall. So much easier lol

[Nick Waring]

Wont full choke stop it?

[Riggerbear]

I thought a broken earth wire (the yellow/green one) would make this happen and they always break.

[Ollie Wall]

tbh didn't try that should off thought about it!! thanks for the advice.

Lucky you didn't get a big belt off the cap:001_huh:

 

Probably the black wire has come off the spade connector behind the front AV mount or the earth wire has fractured or come loose - fairly easy fix - you can meter them to find out if the wire is broken.

 

Most people pull the choke on to kill the engine if the stop switch fails:thumbup1:

"Lucky you didn't get a big belt off the cap"....... i'll say!!

Glad you didn't mate! Hope you get it sorted
