    020T Problems

    Good evening all. First off, congratulations on a quality site, nice to see some home grown goodness around! As it's my first post, I shall start with a cry for help. We have a 020T at work which I am trying to look after, but it is behaving like a 12 year old on two pints of stella, and it's driving me nuts. Recently it's been in bits as some monkey put a screwdriver through the intake boot (!) and had a new one fitted, along with a new fuel line that was needed. We have a good mechanic who gave it all a clean bill of health and it was spotless (internally). From running like a dream after it's rebuild it's gone from lean to rich and back at the top end and now idles for 8-10 seconds and bog and dies, under load or not and won't hold any state of tune. The carb is clean as a whistle and most expendable sealy bits are very new. Our mechanic is a bit baffled and I definitely am, having the intelligence of a flea. He is a very capable two stroke mechanic (mostly marine outboards) but is new to saws. Any suggestions? Sorry for the long winded post, many thanks for any help. Regards, Swooop P.S I have read the ms200t carb thread, I hope I am not going over old ground!
