MS 201T Issue??

[Tree Amigo]

201T deciding to rev like crazy after taking my finger off the throttle. When my 261 started doing this it was a case of a loose/broken clutch spring but the 201T has all its springs still in place.

 

Anyone with any ideas/got the same problem would be good to hear from you.

 

Many thanks!

Check the throttle linkage isn't holding the carb open. Not sure how a broken clutch spring would cause over revving - it would usually allow one clutch shoe to contact the clutch drum making the chain run at idle or make the saw stall:confused1:

 

A fast idle is also a sign of an air leak but check the throttle linkage first.

Give it a good damn clean. Might help.
