ms 200t clutch

oh and did you notice the saw running on with a broken spring?

yes the saw was running on. it was hay-wire in every way. does £40 sound right for stripping/cleaning the carb ?

Sounds a little steep, takes me around 10 to 15 minutes to rebuild a 200t carb, but I'm not a saw shop or anything, parts however, are pricey. Search on the forum, one of the members posted a video of a ms200t carb removal and strip down.

 

Once you replace the spring it should run fine, if not then you work on the carb.

Ah, yes, I forgot the springs are hidden, yes you do need to remove the clutch!

I would replace all 3, if ones gone it's only a matter of time for the others plus the clutch won't balance properly with one new spring.... Also do the needle bearing for the drive sprocket whilst the clutch is off.

Springs - £3 for set of 3, some clutches have those cover plates inside and some externally like yours - from the IPL, your clutch is assembled correctly

 

The carb clean sounds expensive unless a new seal kit is fitted and a pressure check done on the carb or a tach tune done after the rebuild - it is always best to ensure that you know EXACTLY what is being done for the cash.

Good advice - you will be amazed how the hook of the clutch spring can wear - look at the old ones!

There is a special tool that makes it very easy.

Well worth getting if you have a couple of saws.

Have struggled with pliers and screw drivers

now can change all 3 in under 30 secs:thumbup:
