Hi,

 

I have an MS200T, I started it today after storing it in the shed for a month or two. On tickover the revs are a little erattic, if I move the saw the revs pick up. When I squeeze the throttle it will stall unless I squeeze it slowly and then it will rev out fine........Im assuming its a fuel problem, any ideas?????

 

Regards,

 

Anthony.

Make sure the fuel is fresh and let it run for a bit before trying it again, it sounds like a number of issues. It may be worth undoing the L screw 1/4 turn and trying it again but this sort of problem may be an air leak leaning the mix down or could be a gummed up carb.

 

The problem also could be the old accelerator pump issue - if you have a known good carb then try this out as it will prove what the problem is.

 

The carb may need a good cleaning and rebuild but a new one would fix it at a cost.

It is possible it is the infamous accelerator pump issue, a known good carb will tell you one way or the other! If it is a carb issue, sometimes an ultrasonic clean can resolve it but other times it needs the pump to be blanked off or the whole carb replaced.
