I just wish you could get an unlimited coil.
Has anybody tried a 200t coil swap? There was talk about it but I don't remember an outcome.

Somebody tried it, I don't remember who, & it was a no-go.
Brad i think it was
My point is it took them over a year to realize this.
Had a Stihl rep call this week and relay they had been playing with the tune of the 201 T and at least in the Midwest a tech update will prolly come out.
They took a 7" oak log and cut with a new old stock 200T cut time was aroung 6. something secs, don't recall the exact time.
New 201 T out of the box took 10. something seconds
After the techs/germans played with the carb setting which are the H needle out against the limiter and the L screw out 1 5/8 turns the 201T beat the cut time of the new old stock 200T. We were told to call anyone we have sold the 201T's to and retune. We tried it in wood at out dealer and it does in fact work, we did not have a new 200T, but one in good shape.
Just reading between the lines Stihl is taking very seriously, I wouldn't doubt if you don't see a CM version pretty quick or even a "I" model (fuel injected coming down the pike pdq. They are committed to producing the hottest performing top handle on the market, they are not going to let that position slip.
Stihl Rep told me yesterday that the magic ingredient for tuning 201s is waiting 20 seconds after each carb adjustment, in order to allow the computer to adjust the timing to the new setting. He said that without the 20 second wait between adjustments, you're just chasing the timing all over the place. Hope this helps.
It's not an electronic carb. It doesn't tune like that at all.
With an unlimited coil?
Meaning can you tune it for 14k with a limited coil?

I just worked on a brand new 201T. The H was already against the limiter, as they usually are. The L was at 1 3/8. The poor throttle response on a 201 is helped by leaning out the L. I suspect this bulletin is an attempt to richen up a saw past what the H limiter will allow.
After modding the muffler and advancing the ignition timing 6°, I ended up with the L at 1 turn even and the H at 2 1/2 turns. The factory H setting is 1 7/8 turns, so the 2 1/2 isn't as out of line as you might think at first. There's still plenty of adjustment at that point. In my experience, a muffler modded saw needs more L fattening than H. I actually go leaner on these to get good throttle response. Richening them up causes them to stumble off idle and have poor throttle response.
The solution...you really need to drill that H limiter pin out. That's the only way to tune these like they need to be.
