MS201T Piston stop tool snapped

[openspaceman]

Where are you located, possibly one of us techs can sort it.

 

The part should fall out or tweezers should work, Mattys idea may work but if not, take the exhaust off and if this fails, take the pot off!

 

We are in Stone in Staffs.

 

Nice area, I'm waiting to hear if I have a job helping felling some limes there, I'll be looking for a B&B recommendation.

 

 

I know it's been mentioned a couple of times - is the exhaust easy to remove and refit?

 

The heated up piece of wire sounds like a good idea....

 

Will give that a go as it's still in there, rattling around. Thanks again guys.

 

I like that idea too, I don't like dismantling these little saws and I thought you needed to take off both side covers to get at the exhaust.

Too far for me, think Eddy is close to you, if you get stuck he may be able to help you.

 

I heard my name mentioned, yeah, stone is not too far away

Hi everyone,

 

New here so apologise if something like this has been asked before.

 

My other half is a tree surgeon (and technophobe, hence me being here), and has just managed to snap the end of the tool that helps remove the spark plug from an MS201T. It is broken right on the bend of the tool and about 2.5 cm of the plastic is inside the piston pot still. We can see the plastic but can't grab it with anything.

 

Does anyone have any advice on getting the piece out as I'm getting pee'd off with the swearing coming from the garage now.

 

Thanks in advance.

Same issue - solved after much grief by using air compressor (low pressure - just enough to make snapped off piston stop rattle inside the cylinder) - out it came after about 20 seconds.  Did require removing exhaust.
