Same here,usually get a magnifying glass and torch out to make sure it is 100%. Takes a minute and saves £££££s:thumbup:
-
Common parts that break if the mechanism isn't kept clean
-
Yup, the squish is tight on those saws - not much you can take off!
-
No need to take it personally Barrie - just clarifying and you were correct on most other saws with what you said:thumbup: Didnt mean to take the piss:blushing:

Try this: - http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=ms200t%20ipl&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCgQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbricomeca.free.fr%2FStihl%2Fstihl%2520MS200T%2520IPL.pdf&ei=2tA1U-7LM6jt0gXRrIC4BQ&usg=AFQjCNEjt0p5_mbVYhn6qeV4c-b-9QNLOw&sig2=b9LCp5YmnZKrYRyVxzsYbw&bvm=bv.63808443,d.d2k Let me know if you get stuck and I will help out - easy enough job:thumbup:
-
Luv you too Rich, man hug:blushing:
-
Mmmm, that looks an interesting site Rich:001_rolleyes: I wonder where that one came from:001_tt2:
-
This is the MS200T crank bearing, note the strange cylindrical rollers and lack of inner race - the rollers contact the crankshaft so if a bearing fails, it can knock the crank shaft out!
-
Too late, you are on Youtube already:lol:
-
Yup, that M25 journey would be a killer each day. I think that the yoooofff of today need an app to do anything and not found one to fix a typical mower, strimmer or saw yet! Good luck with the quest:thumbup:
-
Typically Barrie, you are spot on but the MS200 uses a crank bearing that has no inner ball race and is like a roller bearing with cylindrical rollers in just an outer race. The bearing went completely tits up and ground a slot out of the crankshaft that looked like original machining to me but obvious once assembled with new bearings or when compared to a good shaft! I should have asked our Fountain of all knowledge - AKA Rich but he was contemplating his navel fluff whilst sitting on the bog - so his other half said:lol: I just made that bit up:blushing:
-
Been working on an MS200T that the crank bearings had let loose on, measured up the crank and all seemed fine.....wrong:thumbdown: What I had thought was a machined relief around the base of one of the shafts was in fact where the bearing rollers had perfectly ground a groove in the shaft as pointed out by the yellow arrow. Fortunately I have a couple of spares so will use the best of the two!
-
Mmmm:thumbdown: you were lucky though, reckon yours will live to tell the tale!
-
Very possibly lack of compression. When cold you have enough to start it but when warm, it drops to a low enough compression to stop it starting - had machines like that before. Do a compression check when warm and make sure it is 140+. Other than that, it may be carb settings but less likely.
-
Classic circlip damage, doesn't look nice!
-
Keep us informed, sounds an interesting one!
-
If this is your ported one, I hope you beveled those ports well!
-
Have you looked down the plug hole for signs of seizure on the cylinder wall?
-
You need to find out if the piston is definitely stuck, it is unusal unless moisture has started to oxidise the piston against the cylinder. Usual way is to get a load of oil down the bore and get a plumbers lamp on the cylinder and get some heat in it whilst you have a wrench on the flywheel or clutch nut rocking it too and forth. If the piston is covering the exhaust port, then you can fill the cylinder right up and use the pressure of doing the plug up and expansion of the oil on heating to get the lube around the piston to free it:thumbup:
-
Mmmm, nice. I have had a few MS200s in with "a carb issue" that were sorted by replacing the clutch springs because one was broken!
-
At least it wasn't terminal, many of these type of faults are, all ended well:thumbup:
-
Torqued means done up:001_rolleyes:
-
No, as long as it has been torqued down and is in its plastic cradle saw body!
-
If it is between the cylinder and crankcase, it can be tested immediately after assembly
-
Not yet - it is some sort of Motocross expansion pipe by "Doma" off a Kawasaki KX85 - similar bore and stroke to the 066 - should be a laugh once it is modified!
