<p>Hi Hugh, sorry to hear that, these MS200Ts/020Ts can go haywire even after a full rebuild but am happy to give it a going over again to try to resolve the issues and will only charge return courier and a nominal charge as I don't work like the majority of other repairers out there!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The fault will NOT be down to the marriage of 020 crankcase and MS200T tank, the parts are interchangeable. It is probably a carb issue as most of the issues with these saws are carb issues and I pressure/Vac tested the machine when I had it in so know this to be good unless a leak has occurred in the time it has been used.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have you tried putting the carb back on factory settings - one turn out on each? Also try taking the air filter off and look at the choke flap to make sure it is not staying partially closed - it does happen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The "Choking out" is it idling OK, is it not revving out and sounding flubby and rich or just bogging - the better the explanation the better the diagnosis:-)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cheers</p>

<p>Hi Steve, sorry to come at you with this one but I gotta!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Seem to be experiencing the same problems again with my saw.. Trouble starting, slow pickup, choking out.. Do you reckon it might be the components from the 2 different models causing problems with each other? Think it might be a bit of a money pit and maybe worth getting something new.. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just wanted your advice really..</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry and cheers, ha!</p>

<p>Hi Hugh,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope the MS200T is going well, Not really got much ready at the moment, a 345 that is ready to go, seen some life but would do for light to mid groundwork. That is about it, sold a few recently.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry and thanks for asking</p>

<p>Ok Spud.. Tried the L screw (as did the local bloke I took it to I think) - to no avail. The crank seals were one thing he mentioned actually. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I understand that they (and the other possible problems you mentioned) would require stripping the saw right back which he wasn't prepared to do (something about labor costs) and as much as I'd love to be able to do it myself... I don't know If I trust myself!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>After using it for two sizeable sycamores last week (bit of a ball/arm-ache), I feel it's time to get it working properly. Just wondering how much I'd be looking at?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<p>Hi Hugh, there are a few thing that could cause this sort if issue, one is an air leak leaning the mix down. Generally you would get a poor idle, poor pickup and soaring high revs with an air leak.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>An overly lean L screw can mess up your mid range pickup and it is easy to try turning it 1/4 turn anti clockwise.</p>
<p>Air leaks can be caused by split inlet boot, holed impulse line or bad crank seals.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lastly, the symptoms are close to those of a bad accelerator pump in the carb.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you get stuck, I can give you a price to sort it!</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

<p>*You can feather the clutch and get it up to speed but otherwise it just chokes itself out <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/unsure.png" alt=":/" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p>

<p>Sorry if this is against protocol to just come out with questions like this but don't really know what else to do!</p>
