😂😂....which one......could be a long night!!!

There is an upgrade kit for the MS201t as the early ones were diabolical. The upgrade kit for the Mtronic MS201TC (which this one is) was the solenoid and a new orange fuel filter as particles were getting through to the earlier solenoids causing poor idle. I think you have got the facts all mixed up, no disrespect meant!😉

Same here, had the carb apart three times as it was just like the high speed circuit was blocked and pulled the coil off another machine in the end and bingo. These modern coils often have different levels of ignition advance for starting, low revs, mid revs and flat out. In this case, I would say that the coil had blown the last one or two stages of advance hence this issue.

Nice, like a rich stewing steak. Good with red cabbage and a bit of a creamy sauce......only had it in Germany...black forest or thereabouts!

No, I don't know the history of the saw or where the parts came from but in my world, flywheels rarely fail, the most common issue is the key getting sheared off and have had one Poly flywheel lose its magnetism by being bashed against the coil as the gap was incorrectly set. Coils are generally reliable but have seen some pretty strange issues such as no spark, spark but not under compression. No spark at all, sparks for a couple of seconds then nothing, spark at idle and dying on any throttle (very weird, probably the ignition advance circuit), spark on idle and mid revs but like the limiter is on at 7000rpm when the throttle held open. How is the coil/flywheel gap set on your saw? If the gap is too large, it may be giving you these issues.

What a poet!

Just another way of doing what I said😉

I am still at a loss as to what the issue was but hope it is sorted now. I see the way you tightened the bar nuts. If you loosen the nuts to finger tight and grip the end of the bar then lift and drop it, you will see the tension in the chain loosen and tighten. You MUST get rid of this effect when you adjust the chain otherwise as soon as you use the saw, the bar pushes up and the chain tension slackens off. There are two main ways of getting rid of this, some chock the end of the bar up with a piece of wood when tightening the bar nuts. I rest my forearm on the chain brake guard, hold the chain on the upper part of the bar with my fingers, pull it strongly upwards and then tighten the bar nuts and check the chain spins round the bar freely. Both methods work and they will take up the play in the bar mount that can cause this issue. Tightening the chain up pretty tight will lift the bar but in my experience, will over tighten the chain.

Sorry, I am North Herts and know ADW isn't local to you. Not sure about others on the site. ADW may have some contacts up near you - he will kick in if he does.

I know ADW likes my Husky porn😉!!!!

Taking down the depth gauges does cause "chatter" when cutting so leaving them slightly high will help if this is the issue.

Sorry, it was a joke, one of the machines I had in that had....issues!

You could try one of these ventilated covers 😃: -

Nice little comparison, better than some of these vids comparing ported MS200ts against MS201TCs with no clarification on what work has been carried out on the ported saw - a 6mm hole in the muffler isn't really ported in the real world!! Nice job and like the use of new chains!

One issue I have seen on the older 560s is that the oil pump comes loose on the two mounting screws and this takes out the oiling worm pinion. The upgrade redesign was to insert brass internal bushes in to the mounts on the new oiler which allows you to tighten the mounting screws up fully and the mounts don't collapse. This would cause an oiling issue but ADW will know the build levels on the 562.

I wonder if the bar studs have come undone slightly and the cover nuts are now tightening on the shank of the bar stud! .....Possible or not?

But if you clamp the fecker hard between the cover and bar mount, how can any delamination make the cover come loose? The only way it could come loose is if one part of the laminate fell out somehow - did it fracture? I just cant see how the nuts come loose if they are done up tight enough. I am talking using a 10-12" tommy bar and socket and doing it up to "pretty tight" and not little scrench tightness where a limp doing up may come loose. How does the OP tighten his bar? Genuine question.....is the bar pretensioned upwards on tightening?

The coils are limited and you can't really call that cutting as the saw must be damn near max revs!

Almost impossible to see what you are talking about and not helped by using a saw at full tilt to do extremely light cuts but understand why seeing some of your work......nice BTW. Is the chain too tight? I usually get a screwdriver behind a cutter and spin the chain, it should NOT stop dead but spin on for an inch or two. I go back to the engine mounts - if you take the clutch off and take the inner cover off, there are two large head T27 screws behind it, both are engine mounts and should be tight! This is a common fault with the top handle saw, not seen a rear handle one yet. Saws do four-stroke when revved flat out but is difficult to detect on these small saws, may be worth checking the air filter is clean - solvent and compressor and also open the H screw out fully to the stop.

Not being funny but if the pump is dispensing oil to the oil channel and it isn't making it to the chain, the oiler hole in the bar is either blocked or the hole doesn't line up with the oil channel - wrong bar. Have you tried using the bar the other way up.....after clearing the oil hole in the bar. I can't understand how the nuts are loosening if they are done up tight with a socket and tommy bar. I wouldn't even expect heavy vibration to cause it unless they haven't been done up very tightly.

Sounds like the carb is OK then. Was the gauze strainer checked? Both flywheels and coils can't be faulty - very strange one, difficult to pin it down without inspection.

You are talking AV mounts, I am talking ENGINE mounts - the screws that hold the engine to the plastic cradle. If the stop switch is working, they are probably OK.

Does the stop switch work?
