I would say I am quite good with things like that but its really not that bad of a job to do, just take off the pull start and flywheel on the left side and the clutch, worm gear and the bar oil pump on the right side and u will see them, just dig them out with a small pointed object (take your time) and make sure u get every bit out with a blower or something like that or the little bits will fall between the gaps in the crank bearings and will affect the running of the bearings, then just put a small amount of grease on the outer of the seal (and I little on the inside where the seal connects with the crank) and make sure u get it level as u tap it in and also make sure u get even pressure so it goes in even and not lop sided or it will break
-
it wasn't to bad to be honest, the hardest part is fitting the new seals without breaking them, I did break one so had to order some more off ebay:blushing: they are very fragile and split easy so I opted for some after market ones with a metal outer case, I also managed to re fit them without having to split the case so I was happy with that as I only just re built the saw:001_smile:

just got the new seals today and fitted them and the saw runs absolutely perfect now:001_smile:
-
yeah I was just reading one of your other posts, what would u say was the best way to replace them
-
I thought as much, looks like I will have to strip the whole thing down again to replace them:blushing:

hi all, I have just rebuilt a ms200t adding a few new parts along the way (piston-rings-crank bearings-etc) so I started it up today and it runs great, revs out perfect and acceleration from idle is also perfect:001_smile: BUT the tickover is a little high and wont turn down with the idle screw:confused1: could this be the crank seals as I might of slightly damaged one replacing the crank bearings, any help would be great. thanks

hi, I bought it as a ms200t as that's what it was listed as, it does have flippy caps (fuel and oil) an I called stihl service centre but they couldn't tell me the year, but they could tell me that the carb is a 020 carb from the numbers/letters on it, so it looks like its a bit of both I guess, I would of sent it back if I hadn't had it striped down before I noticed:blushing: but on a happy note:001_smile:t I received a proper 200t that I also got off ebay the other day as spares or repairs, it was listed as a non runner due to it wont start and has very low compression, I unpacked it, got it on the work bench and noticed the spark plug was half way out and the lead was also half out, so I pushed the lead all the way in and tightened up the spark plug and it run as good as new:thumbup:

hi all, iv just bought a used ms200t, but on getting the chainsaw and giving it a look over it appears to have a 020 tank fitted:thumbdown: what I want to know Is, is this a ms200t with a 020 tank fitted or is it a 020 with some ms200 parts fitted:confused1:can I find out from the serial number etc. thanks
-
to be honest I did think there must be something not right but as it was local to me i thought i would see if I could go and see it in person as bargains do happen, I bought a 2010 ms200 in bits in a box last week for £60 I re-built it and it run as good as new, even had a new spare filter and carb kit:biggrin:

yeah I got a few good tips from watching scam hunters on tv the other week:biggrin: the best bit was when he realised I was winding him up after about a hour of him thinking I was about to send him £300

hi all, newbie here. just wanted to give u all a heads up about a scam I found on gumtree this morning. ok so there was a guy selling a stihl 066 in mint condition for £300 on gumtree in Derbyshire (ripley) so I messaged him saying I was interested in buying the saw, the guy replied saying unfortunately he was working over seas but if I sent payment asap he would arrange for the 066 to be sent out to me asap. obviously I could smell a rat straight away:sneaky2: so I told him that I would like to collect with cash as I don't live far away, he then said the chainsaw was already been held by a courier service in advance for its sale but I would receive it asap after he received the funds, obviously I told him where to go (after winding him up a little:001_tt2: so anyway just thought I would put it out there
