American imported stihl ms200t

[Cov Climber]

Hi all, I've just purchased a american imported stihl ms200t in great condition as a back up saw. Is there any difference in uk saws? I'm currently using a 2012 201t but wanted something with more guts!

 

I was told to run it on a 25-1 mix, is this normal as I usually run mine on 50-1.

 

Cheers

Hi ED can you pm the guy you brought it of and just ask him? Makes sense I guess to continue with the mix it's always run on. If you change the mix it just might open up a can of worms if you start adjusting the carb etc.

 

Am sure someone on here has had imported saw and can advise you better then me.

only difference i know of is that it will have a spark screen in the exhaust. Take this out and throw it away.

It will have to comply with the EPA and if its a California spec saw it will be even more restricted .

What Stubby and Ray said. The only real thing may be exhaust difference. Possibly even a "Kat" exhaust but its uncommon.
