it owes me £600 now including buyin it, and i cant seem to get it to run right

oh i thought u were still selling for around the 350 mark running well :-(

hi all, im just seein how much i would be able to get for my saw. saw is in good condition, i have had the following parts replaced on the saw: new worm gear new clutch new chain sprocket new brake handle all new AV mounts new piston pump kit new intake manifold new impulse line new spark plug new 12" bar new cylinder new piston new carb seals. saw runs and cuts but needs tuning up and possibly a carb refurb. i just want to cut my losses an buy a new saw had enough of this one now. pm me if anybody is interested im looking around £300 mark

cheers spud i have got ur mobile number in my phone from a little while ago i contacted you. will giv us shout if i need to :-)

thanks guys for the help and advice. i didnt spend £600 with this guy in1 go, i mean that all the work i have had done to the saw to fix it over the year or so add up to £600. i could buy a new saw for that :-( the guy that repaired it did fit a new impulse line and intake manifold because they had split, and he also said that the saw was abit hesitant to rev up and said that if it doesn't run any good wen hot then the next route is a new carb. i have a friend who has a 200t and can switch the carb over but his saw runs like a bag of spanners anyway lol in im St. Albans if that is close to any1? cheers guys

hi garden kit, i have taken the saw to 2 independent people to have the work done. but yeah ur right im going to call them and send it back to him for another tweak

hi peatff, yeah it just conks out while idling. it runs on fast idle the conks out aswel. its had about 3-4 tanks of fuel through it since havin new pot and piston. im close to throwing it away to be honest but havent really got £500 layin around to buy a t540xp :-(

hi everyone, ive had my 200t for about a year and a half and for the first 2 monthsi couldnt get it to run properly so sent it off for repair and it had new carb seals, and a tune and it was perfect for around a year or so. about 3months ago i broke an exhaust stud in the head so attempted to remove the stud to no sucess so bought and fitted new pot and piston. sent it off again to someone and he changed the intake manifold which was leakin, new piston pump kit and impulse line changed aswel, and a tune up. picked the saw up to use first time after the repair and it was hesitant to rev up and keeps dieing on me while idling. everytime i go near the throttle is just goes "burr burr" even flat out through a cut it runs out of power and have to keep removing it and rev it up and go back into the cut. sorry for the long winded post but I've really had enough of this saw now and just want it to run right, ive spend near £600 on parts and labour so far can some 1 shed some light on this please cheers simon

sounds dodgy to me

i had the same problem with my 550, would start fine from cold and run perfect then switch it off, top up fuel and oil and it wouldn't start again. i sent mine back to FR jones who i bought it off and they fixed it. think it was something to do with the fuel tank if i remember right. how long have u had it?

excellent cheers lads il hav a think about it :-)

it runs brilliant with the 15" i did think it would be bit gutless with a 20" but 18 should be ok yea?

mornin lads, any one use a 20" bar for a husky 550xp? wanted some advice as to what bar size, currently got a 15" on there and thinking either 18" or 20" just wondering if any one has got either on their saws at the moment? cheers

i didnt think companies like more than and stuff would insure tippers and commercial policies?

hi all, the time has come for truck renewel again, just wondering what companies people use i have a 07 reg double cab transit tipper and have 8 years no claims bonus. currently with NFU Mutual just having a look around other companies aswel. renewel quote is £796 im 26 years old with 8 years driving. any 1 got any companies they use? cheers guys

no worries cheers spud will let ya know

kool cheers spud, if i have any probs do u fancy settin it up for me?

cheers spud, have u got any ideas on how many turns on H and L i need?

mornin guys, i recently fitted a new cylinder and piston on my ms200t after my stud extractor snapped in the head. i started it for the first time on saturday and it runs but, its very reluctant to idle everytime i release the throttle it does :-( does the saw need tuning agen now that it had a new cylinder and piston? any1 got any advice for me? cheers guys

cheers guys, gonna giv it a go this week n start strippin it down, cheers spud will let u know what happens :-)

where abouts are you located spud? just thinkin ahead if i cant sort it may need ur expertise to do it instead :-)

excelent cheers spud will attempt it myself i think with a stud extractor and see what happens :-)

oh excellent cheers for the advice wil see if my parts guy can help me :-)

hey guys , last week i was doing a crown reduction on an oak tree, during the job i noticed my top handle saw was not running very wel (kept conking out) and was gettin louder. so wen i finished the job i noticed that the exhaust bolts were both missing. have bought new bolts and washers went to fit the new ones and noticed that 1 of the bolts from the exhaust has snapped in the engine. :-( not happy has anyone got any solutions to my problem because i dont really wanna have to buy a new engine to be honest this machine has cost me quite a bit of money to get right already but has earnt me good money too. cheers lads :-)

that canter is a lovely unit :-)
