Introducing the Stihl MS201TC - MTronic

[scheffa]

When doing the muffler mod on the 201tc, does anything else need to be done? Or does the saw correct itself automatically??

For the muffler mod are people just drilling a hole where the spark arrestor screen is?

 

[MustangMike]

M-Tronic will automatically adjust. Don't know how they are modding it, but you should be able to just remove the screen as a start, and perhaps enlarge that hole.

Just removing the screen doesn't do much on the 201. Put a hole just behind the screen and reinstall the screen. It will tune itself.

 

[scheffa]

What size hole to start with??

 

[blsnelling]

I make mine with a pointed burr, but maybe 5/16" squarish.

 

[OrangeRidge]

I think I'll give that a go with mine

 

[scheffa]

Thanks brad, is the timing advance worth the effort to remove the flywheel

 

[blsnelling]

Absolutely. Give it about 8°. That'll be about 1/4" on the OD of the flywheel.

How much bar oil should the 201tc mtronic use per tank of fuel? I have turned the adjuster screw up to max & it still only uses approx. 75ml per full tank of fuel.
Disclaimer: I am used to a consumer grade Craftsman/Poulan that uses at least 1/2 tank of oil for every fuel tank, lots of oil visible, no manual adjuster.

Also, how far should the oil feed adjuster screw turn from min to max, less than a quarter turn?

Never received any answers/opinions on this, have to quote myself, lol, anyone?

Does your bar show signs of overheating? I leave my adjuster at the midway point ... yes, about 1/4 turn min. to max.

One reason you may not have gotten a reply is that folks often "unsubscribe" from a thread that no longer interests them ... or the discussion began going down a different path.

Hoowasat: My bar looks shiny & new, it just seemed like too little oil from my previous albeit limited experience. I just needed independent confirmation, Thank You!

Can I ask you to be more specific on "behind the screen" A photo would be awesome. Also, why not leave the screen out as well?

holy thread revival... lol. My local dealer just got their first M-tronic 201TC in today.
They finally sold the first standard carb one thats been sitting there in the same slot, ever since I first saw it put there in 2016.
I wish I'd known there was an interest in the standard version. last I checked there's still two non M-tronic 201t saws sitting at that dealer. Never been used, or even started yet.
I think he's given up on them ever selling, as he ordered a decent sized batch of M-tronics recently. I know 3 of those saws are already spoken for.
