Check for spark - earth it on the cylinder away from the plug hole(fuel ignites) and make sure you have fat spark, check compression or at least make sure the compression feels good. Check to see if the plug is wet when the saw is pulled over on choke for 10 pulls or so. A working engine needs fuel, spark and compression - it is probably the carb as most issues usually are!

I believe you can port them with a bigger amp and speaker plus a bigger battery:sneaky2: Nice job:thumbup:

Just checked the mole trap I had near what I thought was a mole hole at the back of the shed, found a big fat rat in it:thumbup: Second one I have trapped in the last week though the other one was REALLY big and in a rat trap - hate the dirty buggers!!
-
Erm - it will get harder once the piston is bedded in, best to drop start it as it is less painful in the end!

I have a pristine 181SE and it only has the one pressed steel plate on the actual bar mount and all IPLs have just the single plate. Husqvarna could have fitted a bigger recoil pulley on these saws - mine is also a bitch to turn over but it does have its base gasket missing:sneaky2:
-
Yup - a good blast down the H or L screw hole can have a strong spurt coming out of the carb at any sort of angle, been there and done that - best wear safety specs.

Nice......

Probably not worth it TBH, the muffler mods I have done have been quite effective at bringing up the MS201 to standard MS200 type performance. I havent really cracked in to one of these saws yet to see what the maximum performance I can get out of it is.
-
It will invalidate your warranty if you do it and you should find the saw will get better with use as the piston will bed in with use. If it is still not good after the warranty has elapsed.........
-
The usual reasons for a hot engine not to start are ....low compression, faulty coil/coil to flywheel gap or lean L screw carb setting. The clout to the coil may have damaged it - had a 357 like that many moons ago!
-
Not a massive amount but like a few saws, it is a matter of tweaking many htings to get an overall gain if power! The muffler mod still gives the simplest and biggest gain.
-
Just the muffler mod and ignition advance on the MS201

Another happy customer - one day I will get the many beers back that are owed:001_rolleyes: Glad it worked out:thumbup:

A vacuum in the fuel tank will stop the carb pulling fuel out of it and cause bogging in the cut and lack of top revvs. This is typically caused by a bad breather. Pressure in the tank isn't so bad and many breathers do not allow to vent positive pressure, only vacuum. Generally caused by either temperature differences or leaking carb needle valve. The only promlem with positive pressure is when it forces fuel past he needle valve and floods the engine!

That smell is usually the fuel breaking down the fuel line! It is foul:thumbdown:

Now you need to explain who The Fonz is and what Happy Days was.......for our younger members who grey up on Byker Grove:001_rolleyes:

Whats in the pot Barrie:sneaky2:

Got quite used to wearing safety specs most of the time in the workshop after getting an eye full of carb cleaner when cleaning carbs a couple of times. Hope it gets sorted soon Andy.
-
Or just modify the ignition timing by modifying the key......a tad!
-
Sounds like the bar rails are splayed - you will also find in certain positions, the saw will be revving flat out but will not cut until the saw is moved a little. The rails can be hammered shut but a new bar will be a better solution. Sounds like you need a 14" bar to me and that you have probably come to this conclusion.

"It eases entry into tight spaces" Barrie - you crack me up:lol::lol: I do know what you mean and just use an LM grease myself......for the workshop ONLY before anyone else gets in!!!!!!

I was surprised at the actual cost - Flywheel for Stihl MS201 - 1145 400 1200 | Stihl MS201T Chainsaw Spares Doesn't seen toooooo bad to me as many I have seen are in the region of £90 ex VAT! What was the outcome to this little story?
-
He is ignoring my smutty humour:sneaky2:
-
Need I say it Barrie......

He probably had wedged something in to hold the flywheel and the impact on the clutch spun the flywheel enough to break the key. I have noticed many saws don't have the flywheel on particularly tight:thumbdown:
