Well, if it's not the muffer bearing, maybe saw needs it's radiator flushed.
Even the crankshaft assembly isn't $240 on a 338.
Is the dealers name Ben Dover?:laugh:

Go with the 200T great little saws. Andget the 14" Rollomatic Ligh bar, it balances the saw out perfectly!

The 200T went from 500 to 550 last month from Stihl Northeast. I have heard of different price increases around the country though.

Northeast Stihl covers my area too...........that explains the price increase.

Yeah, keep laughing. Mufflers don't have moving parts, and therefore, no bearings. You didn't get "called" you got "took"

Sorry

Wrong again!!!!! Go to an Autozone and ask, they make them!! (I have a buddy that works there, he is the one that told me the story, want the part number for proof? It's only a phone call away!)

if your using a climbing saw to make money the 200t is the saw.
the saw is expensive,but being broken down or fighting with a saw that won't run right is more expensive.

Very true.:cheers:
