I have seen the same thing. Very confusing. Maybe part of the reason I'm not a Stihl guy. LoL
Need help determining if this 201TC is M-Tronic or not?

Not sure about any other particular saw, but the M tronic handle and the non M tronic are not interchangeable on the MS201 . Try it. So, regardless of the sticker see if there is a triangle in the usual choke position on the handle..
Do they have a CM or just a C?
All mtronic models have just the C on the recoil. On the epa decals and on the front sticker (if it still had it) it will read C-M
Be a lot easier if Stihl would’ve called it a 201 T-M

And ONLY the M-Tronic models will have a "C" on the recoil on the newest generation saws. A normal C model won't have it.
It's crazy, but that's what Stihl is doing.

Lone wolf is right I have one of each setting here and that is a mtronic. The 201 I have only say's 201tc on the pull start, there is no m on it anywhere that I see.Oh and a new solenoid is about 47.99 when you need it lol.I only say that because I have 2 and they both needed a new one.
TC=Mtronic. No HL adjusting screws=Mtronic. Carb acts a little funny= solenoid,fuel, fuel filter, fuel hose, pulse hose, air leak, wiring, sparkplug, etc. Hearing it run, holding by the starter handle to check compression, will answer a lot of questions. Online purchase= crap shoot.
Why is it going so cheap????

Look at the picture the saw looks beat and i bet they never did anything to keep it running properly.
This saw is a MS 201 TC-MZ, so original with m-tronic. That air filter cover does not belong originally to this saw. It must have been replaced some time.
Looks like a project or a headache.
This is a saw I don`t get to work on, but is those semi circle marks on the clutch cover being made from an overheated clutch drum? Just asking.

Looks like a lot of heat there. I’m not familiar with this saw but there appears to be melting going on.
Kind of looks like the clutch drum is riding out on the shaft and rubbing the clutch cover, bad crack under the muffler outlet, rode hard,put away wet they say.
Looks right to me!
OP click on the 200T at in my sig.
The hole starting through the clutch cover is from piss revving without a bar and chain on it and the clutch spun off
Both Serial Number come back as a M-Tronic saw. First one made in 04/2018 and the other 10/2018
The 1145 you see in the manual is Stihl's model designation. All the major part number for that saw will start with the 1145 designation. IE the cylinder (1145 020 1200) or crankcase (1145 020 2603)
Hope this helps!
