MS 200T running problems - Again!!

[combined tree services]

check the carb make and its serial number , then call stihl and give them the info , if it is the same carb then they shoud replace it free of charge , the carb that you want is a Warbro carb and not a Zamma. one you get the arb changed that should be the end of your problems mate

Well,it' not quite as simple as that . The Walbro WT 326 is a fixed main jet carb whereas the two models of Zama are fully adjustable models .

 

 

 

Of the Zamas the C1Q-S16A is used on the 020T and the C1Q-s32 is used on the 200T .The main difference being the 200T carb has a compensater type head for use as the so called "intelecarb " .In other words the carb kind of self adjusts to conditions of flow of the main air filter . Either of these carbs will work .If you don't want the intelecarb thing to work just don't hook up the hose from the carb to the air filter box ,simple enough .

i end up getting a good deal on a new one from same dealer and sold mine on as spares or repair as it was about six years old.

I got the saw running properly today, by cleaning the carb with carb cleaner. So i will see what happens next week. I will get my to phone STihl with the serial number and see what they say - if they won't change it i might replace it anyway, as it is a real PITA!

 

Thanks for all the advice, lads.
