Need help determining if this 201TC is M-Tronic or not?

[Stihl dude]

I want to purchase this 201TC off of someone and I am having trouble determining if the saw is m tronic or not.

1- Did Stihl make regular carb version of the 201T?
2- Serial number in pics appear to be either : 184 888 040 or 184 888 010 (pretty sure it's this one). Can someone decode it?
3- On the manual for the 201T C-M the serial number starts with 1145
4- There is a hole right about where the carb needles would be ocated to tune it. Is that an indicator?

Thank you for the help

Looks like a mtronic saw with a 201T air filter cover.

Whats makes you say that (not arguing your statement) ?

I'm not a Stihl guy but the T stands for top handle, C stands for comfort and M stands for Mtronic. So if the badge is correct, it's not M tronic.

I looked at a bunch of the 201mtronic saws and did not see any with that small hole. Thinking not mtronic

That saw has the front port for computer hookup…looks like M to me.

Its simple the M Tron dont have carb H and Low Jets and I dont see any adjuster access holes there, that one hole is for the manual idle. Double check no H and L jets = MTron Also there are wires going to the Carb Solenoid on MTrons.

On the non mtronic 201 the idle stop screw is accessed through that hole in the side of the air filter cover. The fuel mixture screws are accessed through two holes in the handle near the idle adjustment screw. No mixture screws on your saw, plus the little access door for the diagnostic cable tells me that saw is mtronic. Another way to tell is on the multi function switch. If there’s a I, O, and a triangle it’s mtronic.

All he has to do is look at the carb for wires and no H and L jets.

Thats OK if it works properly. Whats that = in US Dollars?

It’s listed for 275 US dollars or about 375 Canadian dollars.

It says the carb is acting a bit funny but it runs and idles. Needs a carb kit probably

Yes it’s not a regular carb (the one I’m showing). Yours had the two holes for the H and L jets d’ajustement in the handle.
Mine does not.
Thanks for the help

Yeah, those handles do not interchange. So, if it is Mtronic it will have the triangle.

That's M-tronic...I like the M-tronic version of this saw, the early non M was a bit doggy, but the newer ones are great saws.

A video of it running would help . Can you spend much more on a good saw?

For some models at least, the sticker on the cover may say C but it could actually be Mtronic. There's a thread somewhere describing that happening on the MS 261, and I saw one myself like that last week.

All my Mtronic saws have a C after the model number.
