MS200T Carb Question

[bigbadbob]

Picked up a well used 200T, won't tune at all, 140 compression. Starts good rev for a bit then seems to run out of fuel, choke and it starts again then blip the throttle to get the revs up and it dies, repeat repeat.
After using the search function and checking the lines and boot, filter, vent, I believe the carb has the bad 'pump'.
So I have the number for the new carb C1Q-S126.
I need to know if this is a dealer item only.
TIA
Bob

GDay Bob,

I just had the exact same experience with an early model 200T. I tried cleaning the carb and chemical dipping. I ended up replacing the card and a perished boot for about $99 (AUS

Probably just needs a kit. It shouldn't be a dealer only item as Stihl does not make their own carbs, shop around online.

Edit.

This one, I think.

It is recommended that you just replace teh carb, about 70.00 at the dealer. Accel. pump can be rebuilt, but results are uncertain. Zama junk, apparently it is a common issue, but the new carbs are better, I think.

I've heard the same thing about other Zama's, and I own several of them (575, 55} Maybe a carb from an 009 will make it run better.

I have heard of the Mechanics swapping out the carbs on the MS200, the Zama is junk, I forget which one they put on, but I think it was a walbro. Dave.

The carb is Stihl only. Zama makes them specifically for the MS200T and for Stihl, not the general market. You can try replacing the pump -a kit is available, but you need to know exactly what carb you have.. and I wouldn't bother kitting anything prior to an S61D

The S126 works great. The non-accelerator pump version is the older C1QS32 - still available from stihl. Lacks the initial "punch" of the later versions, but very reliable.

BTW.. 140 isn't great on a 200T... rings... piston...

Thanks Lake
Seems I have a project saw.

BTW.. taking out the accel pump requres removing the butterfly from the throttle shaft. Often the brass screw will either strip or the head will gall. When you put it back, after geting the throttle plate in the exact postion, tighten, then peen (use a suitable anvil!)the far end to stop it from coming loose, and use loctite.
