I agree with you on that. Battery tech needs a major advance before it will replace petrol machines. They do have their place though, hedge trimmers seems to be top of the list from customer feedback. Although the top handle battery saws are also getting good feedback. Its going to be quite awhile before you can replace a 084 with a battery machine

The 300 is a fairly powerful saw TBH, I have only had a bit of a demo with one and I haven't ran one next to a 261 or 550 but they cant be that far off in terms of power. They were available to buy in 2023 IIRC. I've seen the promotion videos but it would be interesting to see a real world comparison. Someone in here must have a 300 and a pro 50cc saw that they can do a quick vid of them in use.

£160.

Thanks for the update. Im sure the new fuel line will fix the issue.

I cant get a parts list up for that machine but I very much doubt that you can buy that part, it probably only comes with a carburettor attached to it.

Well, there is no vat on Scottish £50 notes because they are all fake so technically, yes.

That about sums it up. It doesn't matter whether you are vat registered or not it only matters on who the PPE is for. It's only for boots and helmets/complete helmets, other PPE has vat on it.

This might sort out your stihl blower issue, its a very common problem. If the gasket isn't holed then its either put it in an ultrasonic cleaner and hope for the best or buy a new carb. On the Stihl's sometimes the plugs fall out of the plastic plate under the primer bulb which can cause the same issue.

It looks like there are two different motors for the 200, they have different part numbers and covers than the 220 and the electronic module is different too. So even if the motor does fit you may not get any additional power due to the different control unit. I've attached the parts diagram for the 200 showing the different motors and a completely different type of electronic module and an attachment for the 220 msa 200.pdf 220.pdf

If you do buy the MSA 300 then remember you need the AP 500 S or it will only run on half revs. A customer of ours has the 300 and the 220, although he says the 300 has plenty of power the 220 gets used way more often.

No, they are different, one large, one small. If only there was a web site that had a better explanation of which caps fit what and where..

I didnt think the screw caps connected to the case with just the ball tbh.

You can pull the leg part off which leaves you with the ball. Which exact model of stihl do you have?

Poor compression usually shows by lacking in power, hard to start when warm, nearly impossible to start even and it wont tick over. If its cutting out as though its been switched off then I think that you still have an electrical fault somewhere. Does it start up straight away, tick over and still has plenty of power?

You can only get those caps from here Oil Cap - Stihl - 0000 350 0510 SKYLANDEQUIPMENT.COM Filler Cap - Stihl MS201T. Filler cap for Stihl MS201T. OK not really since we wont have anymore in stock until the middle of next week.
