    MS 200t problems

    I looked at the repair manual, on micro film and could not find any specs on transverse end play.Then thinking about it .it would stand to reason a well used model 020 or 200 would eventually wear the seals out,end play or not . The saw in question was given to me by Adam Clark who has a very...

    MS 200t problems

    Evidently there is either a lack of communication or a misunderstanding .First of all I never implied there was any carbon in the bearings .Where pray tell did that idea come from? What I did say is there appeared to be a carbon like build up on the crankshaft stub ,not the danged bearing . Yes...

    I've got a couple of 200T crankshafts some place if I can find them .If I can and if they haven't been cleaned of the black stuff I'll put a picture on .

    MS 200t problems

    You are all forgetting it's a roller bearing not a ball bearing .A ball bearing by it's design will have provisions for thrust,side movement,a roller bearing needs a thrust plate of some sort .Here's a couple of pictures of an old bearing.I had thought it was a seven roller but it's an 8 roller...

    MS 200t problems

    On that I've worked on a lot of things other than chainsaws from German manufacturers .Several things about these .First as a general rule they make good products .Having said that they seldom if ever admit they had a flaw in design and also are proud to use "OEM" types of components and...

    MS 200t problems

    Perhaps wrong term .It's internal to the bearing .It's a fiber washer type affair .Once it wears enough it allows the crankshaft to move parallel to the bearing .The clutch side of the crankshaft will get a build up of sawdust and oil about like hard carbon after enough run time which will heat...

    MS 200t problems

    The 020 and 200T use a 7 roller roller bearing on the crank bearings which uses an internal thrust plate .Over time this plate wears allowing slop in the crankshaft which will cause the seals to leak .Seals and bearings are around 60 dollars .However a quick fix but not permanent would be just...
