stihl ms200t tickover wont turn down??

[forestry1]

Was it a big job to rebuild? Getting it's not an easy task. You quite mechanically minded?

 

I would say I am quite good with things like that but its really not that bad of a job to do, just take off the pull start and flywheel on the left side and the clutch, worm gear and the bar oil pump on the right side and u will see them, just dig them out with a small pointed object (take your time) and make sure u get every bit out with a blower or something like that or the little bits will fall between the gaps in the crank bearings and will affect the running of the bearings, then just put a small amount of grease on the outer of the seal (and I little on the inside where the seal connects with the crank) and make sure u get it level as u tap it in and also make sure u get even pressure so it goes in even and not lop sided or it will break

The problem with this sort of work is having the experience of what to look for and finding what needs replacing. I have done many MS200s and with that experience comes a sound grounding in what fails and what needs doing.

 

The typical mechanical bits are relatively easy but it is things like the carb refurb and the pressure/vac tests that generally are not so easy.

 

IMO - if you can earn more in the time that it would take to do the rebuild doing tree work than the cost of getting someone else to do it then there is your answer!

I am much happier cutting the tree and I will leave the mechanics to you.

Thanks Alan, always happy to help!

I would be much happier to let you do it. Just that sense of achievement fuels that desire.

 

It would take me days to do the task. I know I'm answer my own question, I'll hand it over once I dismantle it into thousands of pieces

And that is the way most techies hate receiving saws, especially when everything is thrown in to one bag with no logical way of identifying which bolts go where.

 

Fortunately, I can now rebuild MS200s that are supplied like this just from the familiarity of doing so many of them and have done a few like that:thumbup:

 

It is a sense of achievement doing the work and having a well running saw but you can also rebuild a saw, miss an air leak because you can't pressure/vac test, miss over revving down to not taching the saw and pop, you write off all your hard work.

 

I learnt at an early stage to start from a solid foundation when dealing with faulty saws and pressure,vac test all that come in seized or have signs that the saw may have a leak!

Alright alright, you been on the easy lift guy sales and seizing opportunities seminar???? Lol.

 

I have a pm with your details on from a previous flirtation I had with rebuilding a saw.

 

Will get in touch. I know it makes sense.
