I have a stihl ms 200 t lately when I'm cutting it will all of a sudden act like it's out of gas and shutoff I've put new fuel hoses on and blew everything out good with air any suggestions would be appreciated I love this saw
Out of gas as in run quicker and stop or just die like you turned it off?[/QUOT
It actually sounds like its running out of gas it does the sputter then stalls out
Run time varys every time I use it. In order to restart it I have to choke it. Its like it hasn't been running at all like when I first start it in the morning. The spark plug is dry. I was thinking maybe the o ring??You need to buy some periods for those sentences!
But seriously, you need to provide more details.
It could be as simple as a blocked fuel tank vent or as bad as an intermittent coil.
- How long does it run before dying?
- Once it dies, how do you re-start it? Do you have to wait some time? Does it start right up?
- Does it have spark when it is "dead"?
- If you choke it when it is dead, is the sparkplug wet or dry after a few pulls?
It will sputter the same exact way it does when I actually run out of gas. Then I have to choke it and pull a couple of times before it starts again. When its running it sounds and idles perfect.Out of gas as in run quicker and stop or just die like you turned it off?
Sounds like a 'vapor-lock' or your gas tank vent line is clogged.
Next time it happens, quickly un-screw the tank cap and listen for a 'sucking' of air into tank.
Then, try to re-start immediately...if it does...you've found your problem.
I have to choke it and pull a couple times before it will restart. I will listen for the "sucking of air" Monday morning as soon as it happens wich shouldn't be long. What if I don't hear the sucking sound. Could it be the o ring???
Hope the periods r in the right places.Run time varys every time I use it. In order to restart it I have to choke it. Its like it hasn't been running at all like when I first start it in the morning. The spark plug is dry. I was thinking maybe the o ring??
"The o-ring" what o -ring do you speak of?Run time varys every time I use it. In order to restart it I have to choke it. Its like it hasn't been running at all like when I first start it in the morning. The spark plug is dry. I was thinking maybe the o ring??
