bin it?

[bill]

ive had a new carb, its been serviced and tuned and it stiill doesnt run right. it loses power and lets out a bit of smoke. should i stop spending money on this stihl ms200t and use it for spares or has anyone got any other suggestions?

How old is it Bill ?

[bill]

i brought it off a bloke who had it for 2 years. i used in for a few months then it started playing up.

Could be many things Bill, may be as well to keep it for spares.

 

It could have low bottom end compression which can cause all sorts of symptoms.

 

Always nice to have something on the shelf to rob parts off when needs must

its always handy to have a spare saw to take parts off, but it always seems to be the same parts on a 200t for me chain brake and av mounts

Yeah i think the best thing for that saw is parts, theres nothing like working on a tricky tree with a saw that keeps playing you about !

Could be rings, has it had a compression test?

Might be better to get shot of it ,they do make stupid money at auction be it ebay or a machine one.

Just my thoughts though.
