Solved - MS200T Chain Cover Not Fitting

[CFOD]

Been trying to work on my MS200T recently, noticed that the chain cover doesn't sit flush to the body of the saw. Can't see anything blatantly blocking it, so I'm not sure what the issue is, whether it's warped or if there's a piece missing somewhere. Any ideas?

Subbed. I noticed the same thing on a 192T I'm fixing so I'm curious to find out what the issue is as well.

The ones i repaired and sold required a good cleaning, the chain brake cleaned and the pin hole on the case cleaned, those covers can warp on the saw from heat and show it after removal.

That's what it must be, it's practically shiny now, can't see anything obviously stopping it. Really didn't want to spend the $100+ on a new cover... ugh

You can buy an empty cover 30.00 - 40 .00 and put the parts in.

you can try putting it back on and running the saw a couple hours to get it hot enough to go back into shape

Considered this, also putting it in the oven or something to mould it back into shape. Might be a last resort.

Yeah Looks that way, didn't want to replace it with a Chinese cover, the chain brake handle is also a little janky so I looked at a pair from Stihl and it's £88. Tough call

This is about the best fitment I have had so far. Turned out a part of the chain brake assembly was loose and pushed the inner plate out. Rebuild, clean and some tight screws and it's looking much better.

They are all like that from my experience! Not an issue at all

^^^^ this!

yup almost all of them I have seen! If you buy a $30 aftermarket no name "brand new" one from that one place it is not going to solve anything, just create more problems.

No need to worry about it.
