I picked up a 200t last week and have been working on getting it into the best condition I can. New fuel tank and all new AV bushings (the saw had been dropped and cracked the old tank and broke one bushing) and it got a new bar and chain. The saw smokes after running under load from the muffler but it also seems like it’s smoking from the body of the saw (engine, plastic, bar oil on muffler?) the muffler is very “gunky” looking so I plan to remove it and see if it needs a good deep cleaning. I have adjusted the carb and decreased the idle (I think it was way too high). The carb is a “Stihl” stamped carb but it has an odd roll pin sticking out of the side. That’s not how they came from the factory is it? Any info on the carb or on getting it to quit smoking will be greatly appreciated!
