rebuilding ms200t

[Dave177]

I want to rebuild my Ms200T as its starting to play up, not starting, bad idle ect, i have allready changed, plug, filters and had the carb rebuild by somone. im guessing all thats left to change is:

fuel pipe

piston and rings

 

Anything else I should look for? What additional bits do I need if I am changing piston and rings?

What was done to the carb as the problems described sound like carb issues. The impulse line can fail as can two components in the chain brake that are worth checking.

I did the same and had pobs after, turns out the problem was a tiny pin hole in the rubber hose from the carb to the engine.

I think that you'd probably be wasting a lot of money on parts you don't need. It sounds like the carb issue wasn't fixed. Spuds the man - he does mail order fixes if your not local.

I sent it away to be rebuilt by the guy that advertises on E-bay. I think I will try the rubber fuel hose as it is quite cheap.

 

sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesnt when cold, it will rev up but idle badly and then stall and usually not start when warm

Could be the carb adjstment - factory settings are one turn out on H and L screw, try this and adjust the idle. The hot starting may be mixture, blocked breather, possibly lack of compression or a number of other things.

No telling what the ebay rebuild gave you.
