201 t on/off switch

[Davepowys]

Started playing up earlier had to put it to full choke to nock it off, any of you lot had problems with it?

[Paul Smith]

Once!

It is a good saw when it's working and tuned tho, cuts well

[glark]

Dont mention the 201 - just sent mine back - seems underpowered - mine bogs down on stuff if shouldnt do it doesnt cut quick enough for bigger stuff. Did a comparison with a 2 yr old 200T the other day and it was a lot slower. Think Ive got a duffa or done something wrong tbh. And....whats with the slow take up when you start the throttle ? Ive had is tuned twice but today I nearly threw it out of the tree. Suggestions welcome cos cant believe Stihl have dropped one on this.

Who tuned it for you? The factory tuning is lean to comply with emission standards, rather than to deliver power. Richen up turning the "H" carb setting counter-clockwise. That has at least worked for many.

Probably the same problem as the 200, earth lead(?) from switch coming off

I thought the 201 was tune up free. They told me at the shop,that was the case. It was controlled by a microchip thingmejib. Or am I gullible ?

[arbogrunt]

had the same problem last week, just take the cover off the starter side and plug the lead back on its spade.

[Davepowys]

Glark I think it cuts better than a 200 once it's run in, I turned the L screw clocwise about quater turn it revs quicker then

[Davepowys]

Arborgrunt il do that next time it's fine now must be a loose conection
