At my shop I rebuild 020T, 200T, and 201TC’s all the time. On 020s and 200Ts that are burnt up it’s around $500 and that includes new OEM P&C, Carb, fuel line,fuel filter, air filter, spark plug, cylinder gasket, crank seals (if it has an air leak) it gets steam cleaned after being blocked off for pressure vacuum check, sharpened chain, railed bar, couple hours of labor, test ran and carb adjusted.
201TCs come in less often burnt up, most of the time it’s because of a new employee on a landscaping crew that uses the 201TC for limbing and small jobs puts raw fuel in the saw instead of mixed fuel, or accidentally grabs the fuel can for the lawn mowers that’s raw fuel and puts it in the saw. Those saws are even cheaper to fix, probably around $350 with OEM P&C because they didn’t burn up do to an air leak or lean running conditions by customer adjusting high so lean the saw screams itself to death. Just hook it up to the MDG1 check the fuel parameters, pressure vacuum test, steam clean, new P&C and reassemble, factory reset and good to go.
If it’s an older 201TC it can get a new green solenoid and updated fuel filter under warranty.
I do lots of these rebuilds every year because they are all very desirable saws that hold their value very well. Any shop that tries talk the customer out of a rebuild and charge them any higher then $500 just to sell them a new saw is crazy. I have never had a customer with a 020T or 200T say no I don’t want to rebuild it for that cost I want a new one. They approved the repair every time.
Now if it’s a home owner saw (171,250,251, 271, etc) that’s burnt up then of course we tell the customer that’s it’s not worth rebuilding because the cost of OEM P&C for those saws are $300-400. With labor and all other costs involved it would be more then and new unit. In that case it’s in customers best interest to buy a new unit.
OEM P&C for pro top handles is like $179. On other pro saws they are in the $300-400 range but are worth rebuilding when saw new is over $1000.
