alot of 200's have dodgy carbs, if you've got one you might get it fixed on the stihl warranty, regardless of date of purchase but dont quote me.

sounds like a minger once they start cutting out all the time its a £70 new carb and that dont always work.

 

Never buy old top handels or your getting the worst use out of it. There good for 2 years 3 at most then they become noticably crap.

Hold the saw with one hand and the pull start with the other, release the saw without jerking it. ie drop it slowly.

The saw should hang a bit on the pull start then very slowly drop, it shouldnt drop really quickly indicating there is no compression.

Narr look after them properly and you can easily get 10+ years

[High Scale]

Try new fitting new carb diaphragms, clean the carb with carb cleaner, you can get it by the can in automotive stores.

 

As Mesterh mentioned, check the compression, if that is low you may need new rings.

What year model is it? Should say on the chain break handle. 2005 was a bad year!

I just found they never run as good as the first couple of years. After that no matter what you do they never run as good.

 

Point being i use my 200 the most so i want the best performance only new saws run spot on.

 

But agree they can last for 10 years but there still not be any where near as good as new.
