    I had never tried anything like that before, and it wasnt that bad. Just go slow, remove a little and check. Its my favorite work saw, like it more than my 660.

    Sorry Brian, I misunderstood your question. My saw is apart right now because I lost a circlip while running. I took pictures of where I had to remove material and the spacers I uses for the muffler.

    I made a base gasket out of a soda can, and filed the bolt holes to fit. As far as performance, it spooled up instantly and with a 7 tooth sprocket and sharp chain it would eat every thing I needed it to.

    Unfortunately I think all the pictures were lost about 2 computers ago.

    Thanks Randy. We didnt get it all cleaned up, got two days into it so far. Just me and my dad working on it, and he has two knees that arnt so good. So pace is pretty relaxed. About one more day and it should be all cleaned up. Got a chain coming for my 54" bar so I can use the 797 to cut the...

    The working man, and chainsaw thread!!!!!!!!!

    Been working on a tree for my parents over the last couple of weekends. Been slow and not so much a fun tree. Whole top was rotten and falling down and completely tangled in vines. Had to climb it to cut some of it out, in some parts my spikes would go right through, and you could see a lot of...

    Happy new years guys. Finally finished getting the 201 set up today. Filed a little on the flywheel key to advance it some and that made a huge improvement. Has great throttle response and plenty of power now. Very happy with the saw now. Now I just need a 066 or a nice pm800 would do.

    MS200t with a vacuum leak I'm having a hard time tracking down.

    Check the fuel line for any cracks or holes. And I would check the impulse line.

    Thats how I ended up with the 201. Dont have time to fix mine and needed a saw.

    If its under warranty let them look at it. They may not want to cover it if you try to fix it first. Most likely an air leak, and not bad gas.

    I have 8 years career and 1 volunteer. This is our busy time of the year, but it seems like I have been a lot busier with tree work this year. We have been pretty slow this year for calls. I agree with Aaron, sounds like an air leak. Same problem I have with me 200t. Need to do a vacuum test...

    The 201 is not a bad saw. Its just choked up from epa regs. It runs much better with the muffler opened up, and with the timing advance its supposed to be better than the 20o. My 200 has an air leak and I just dont have time to find it and fix it.

    The working man, and chainsaw thread!!!!!!!!!

    I have already started it. Got the muffler opened up, and just have to advance the timing. Its definitely better now. Tuning is still rich though. Its a pain to tune with the limiter on the coil. Havnt had time to really fine tune it yet. After only a couple days of use I have already broke it...
