Glad it's running. They are one bad ass little saw.
Cheers.
But, unlike over there- 200T's in my neck of the woods down here are a bit like rocking horse poop....... so spare carbs are not laying about like flies on a turd.
But, thank you Sir for taking the time to share your knowledge regarding this very simple fix.
I did not use JB Weld, but a two pot Loctite product- designed as an aluminium repair.
Glad to hear its up and running again, can you post up some pics of the pump and its condition, was it the o ring, or was the brass pump damaged, and what was the bore inside the carb like too ?
Keep an eye on that intake boot, you said aftermarket right?Cheers.

OK good news.Ah, nope! No way!!
Intake manifold boot is a genuine Stihl part- cost more than twice what the box full of parts I started this project with. All the rubbers were replaced with genuine Stihl parts.
Now, for the same money I could have bought around 80 Farmertec "200 T" manifolds........ but decided to go with just the one genuine one for the same money.
Looked pretty good internally to tell the truth, didn't nail varnish them in- used head cement (I am a fly tyer ) besides- head cement sounds far more manly than nail varnish!
