200T in shrewsbury needs help

[wakarb]

Got a 200T that I just can't tune. I have had a fellow tree man look at it and he recons it needs a new carb, he said that its a common thing and it is better to stick a new carb on rather than mess with idly jets and so on that probably wont sort it anyway.

 

Does anyone know of a good place to take it to be looked at near shrewsbury? The down time of this saw is killing me.

There are a couple of faults that I have known on these saws that can cause uneven idle - both are not simple fixes but are dooable!

 

A new carb is £100 and to fit it a bit more!

Would you be interested in taking it on?

try a carb kit first cost £10 easy to fit , i had the same problem couple of years ago bad batch of carbs i think , if one of your mates have got one a carb off an 020 or ms200 fits (the one without the breether on top). chainsdirect.co.uk will sell you a new carb around the £60 mark i think . prob try kit first though.

worth checking the rubber inlet manifold for splits developing on the underside, also the fuel pick up pipe. if they are ok its worth a carb clean and rekit (zama GND 39 kit).But the s61 carb is very finicky and it is often cheaper to replace it in the first place rather than mess around trying to get it right. Better IMO to replace with C1Q-S16A carb for the older 020T, as its a much more reliable carb. Just blank the filter plate hole to stop dirt ingress as the elbow is not required. Tuning screws dont line up with holes in the little triangular side cover either, so drill new, or simply pop out the cover for tuning. Hope this helps.

actually dean i didn't know that was there mate, i have now just seen your video showing hoe to clean it. i will have a go at that before i take any further action. cheers dean.

just to let you guys know, the problem did indeed lie with the gauze filter in the carb. there was plenty of cack in there. after a good clean of the gauze she now runs sweet as.

 

thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.
