smashed my 200t

[browncow]

I managed to get my saw in between a piece being lowered and the trunk and smashed the top handle on my old 200t. I have replaced it with a spare handle I had and now the saw is way out of tune. It runs on at idle speed, doesn't pick up to full revs smoothly and blips a bit at full power.

 

Any thoughts as to whether this is related to my replacement of the handle or something else that was affected when it was smashed.

 

Cheers

It was pretty funny bro, last cut on the last tree of the year before my months holiday. Should have had a bigger saw sent up, should have scarfed it instead of tearing it, should have made sure the groundies knew to let it run...... didn't do any of that and was lucky to get away with just a smashed handle really.

 

Just came down, felled the stem over and went on hoiliday:001_tongue:

 

All sorted now, brought some parts back from my spares in NZ and with the new rubber boot it cost me 40 odd bucks:001_smile:
