Guy at the saw shop yesterday told me the s126 was the carb I wanted if I had to replace one on a 200T. The Stihl number is 1129 120 0653.

And like Al, you want to keep your work area as clean and sterile as possible to avoid getting dirt inside the motor. :P :lol:

I hate to admit it but I've never replaced a crank seal. Supposedly they aren't hard though. You can check for a leaking seal by spraying carb cleaner or wd-40 or something on the crank seal while the saw is running. If it's sucking air then the rpms will change when the spray hits the leak. The...

Either a crank seal starting to leak or a bad carb. I've had a couple bad carbs that acted EXACTLY like a crank seal leak but slap a new carb on there and they ran perfect. Last carb I got for a 200T was about $65 I think. Make sure you get the older style with both jets adjustable. Stihl tried...

They are plastic caps that fit over the adjustment screws. There's a tab on one side so the screw is limited in travel, less than one full revolution total movement. your best bet is to shave off the tit on the side of the limiter cap so that it can turn a full 360 degrees. It's easiest to get...

top notch- I'm fortunate in that I have three 200Ts so if I have issues like that then I can swap carbs with another saw. That will tell me immediately if it's the carb. New carbs are cheap compared to weeks of frustration. If a thorough disassembly and cleaning doesn't clear up the problem...

Sorry, a bad assumption on my part. Yes, running lean is a symptom of a bad carb. The last one I had I rebuilt it twice and it still ran lean. Bought a new carb and it ran perfect. I hate rebuilding carbs and it rarely works for me. It seems like they leak around the butterfly shaft or...

See? Many people don't even think about their saw not running right. They just accept it instead of adjusting the carb. Andrew, no offense, you're just as normal as most other tree guys. But your saw should idle without stalling and accellerate without having to twiddle with the throttle...

If the carb doesn't work right after 1-2 attempts at rebuilding it, go buy a new one and be done with it. Carbs are about $65 and they are usually spot on straight out of the box, the lack of frustration is worth the cost.

Al, you missed the point entirely. Buying a .325" pitch, .063 gauge bar for a 200T may present a bit of a problem. Not to mention a .325 sprocket for a 200T. Then it will be geared too high because you can't get a 6 pin .325 sprocket anyway. My sports car needs 14" tires and I have a stack...

Find another use for them or sell them on ebay. Why cripple your most important saw? They'd be easier to find a use for if they were .050 gauge. Stihl is the only one using .063 gauge for the most part.

Nope. Too much hassle/expense finding sprockets and bars in order to use a few leftover chains. The chains aren't worth it. And even if it only reduces usable power by 5-10%, are you really willing to give up that power to salvage some leftover chains that don't fit anyway?

You're welcome, Stephen. Glad I could help. :D

As a final note on this, I shipped the saw out this afternoon. It wasn't that difficult of a repair and it's disappointing that so many saw shops can't (or won't) fix basic issues such as this. Stephen did everything by the book, kept the saw 100% stock with all the safety items intact, used the...

Glad you got it fingered out, Willie. :) Steve, do you own an air compressor? If you do, and if you have the skills to change a lawnmower blade, then you can change the sprocket on your 200T. It's literally that easy. Although I prefer doing it where I have air available so I can blow the saw...

Yes, that plastic doohinckus is a piston stop. :lol: It's just easier for me to grab the air wrench though.

Willie, I went out and took a picture of a junk 200T so you could see the oiler pump. It's fairly self explanitory I think.

13mm socket and an air wrench. It's left hand thread so make sure you're spinning it clockwise to remove it. If you don't have an air wrench then you gotta pull the spark plug and use a piston stop to keep the crank from turning. If the saw is over a year old then you'll probably need a new...

Willie, on the 200T oiler my first guess would be a plugged pickup or pump. This is due to the horrible new caps that cause lots of crud to fall in the tank every time you refill it. I'd spin off the clutch and remove the access covers, then pull the oiler pump and clean it out. you can pull out...

I didn't have any outlay for parts, just a couple small pieces out of my spare parts box. I had about 2 hours total time diagnosing, cleaning and doing the muffler work. According to www.ups.com the shipping should be $23.50 to get this delivered to your door. We could ask the forum members...
