ms 200 conversion to ms 200t????

[lollypoppy]

hi everyone just wondering if any one can tell me if its possible to convert a stihl ms200 with back handle into a ms 200t by simple handle change over?????

 

I've got a number of saws but this will be more use to us without the back handle so this was just a thought any help will be great full cheers david@leedslandscapes

Yes, but unless you have the parts it will be quite expensive.

any advise will be great i really appreciate it! what spares would i need other than the handle ? if i need to start messing with carb change and stuff i won't bother its prob easier for me just to buy a new one .

also will it be worth doing in your opinion or should i just replace it ,its in very good condition with very little use 2006 model thanks again dave

id recomend sell it ( as they are very popular and hard to get hold of) and buy a ms200t instead

Any thing is possible, but in this case ill advised. The tank casing is different as is the the fuel pick up pipe and the carburettor. And of course the handle, throttle control and air filter.

Best not bother in my opinion.

Others may disagree.

Save yourself the trouble and offer the MS200 up for a swap to an MS200T of similar condition and age. That way two people get happy, and you don't have to purchase expensive spare parts and spend time ordering and mounting them.

hi thanks for your advise ,i thought this was the same machine as a 200t just with a different top casing and back handle.

it all sounds a bit too much trouble I'm happy to go spend £50-£60 quid on a new handle to do a quick conversion but I'm not into tinkering with the equipment and it all works fine so prob best left alone but any other simple advice will be great cheers

You might get a good offer from some of the carvers for a 200 back-handle.

I would think its too much trouble with the cost of parts,& as said a good 200 rear handle is a desired saw.

A carver would probably give good money for it if its in good nick.
