My 200 is acting up again. Took it to the shop in town. Stihl dealer, but not much of a mechanic, at least on 200's. He had the saw for a month and figured nothing out. Said the carb was fine and needed to order a part to seal off the exhaust to pressure test it. Waited and waited, then...

Thanks for the advice, I'll probably just run it as is until it starts to piss me off again, honestly, I'm ecstatic that it idles and accelerates as good as it does right now.

I did a small job a couple days ago and my 200 did awesome. Adjusting the fuel lever in the carb did the trick. It's not running lean when I flip the saw over anymore:lol: The only thing is it starts on the third pull most of the time instead of the first one like it used to. I'll take this...

I'll check that out. Last time I took the carb apart I remember a Philips head screw that I removed to get the needle valve out...Is this the part your talking about adjusting...the whole assembly is under the diaphragm? If it is the part how do you adjust it, if I remember correctly last time...

I'm in the same boat as you, once my saw gets warmed up it will idle for a few seconds then run lean and die. I have adjusted the carb many times and taken it places to have it adjusted. I have never taken my saw anywhere to have it torn down but I have taken it apart my self a few times and...
