I repair chainsaws for a friend that owns a tree service and no matter how many times I tell him to blow out the saws he forgets. The older saws (028) didn’t seem to have the many places for the oily saw dust to build up. Enjoy your site very much.

My friend spent $450 last fall having his 201 rebuilt and it had very few hours on it. He got it out today and it didn't want to run. When he finally got it started, it ran Terrible. I'm hoping this video will help get things right. I know he didn't know about calibration. Thank you. I like the straight-forward way you explain things.

what does the hole by the bar nut do on the 201T? why not just seal it up if it lets that much dirt into the cover?

Thank you sir. Learn stuff from you all the time. I've still gotta figure out what's causing my Stihl FS90 to pressurize (or have a vaccuum) on the tank and shut down after about a half a tank of fuel

Not my favorite saw to work on but it's part of the gig. I think for as much grief as mtronic gets, it's amazing the environment these saws live in and keep going. Hell, probably 90% of the mtronic owners I talk to don't even know recalibration is a thing... now if they'd just make the handle wires a little more robust!!

Probably a terrible idea but wander if a couple small holes in that brake cover would increase or decrease the build-up? Would atleast make it possible to blow out the muck before it gets so packed.

I would have a vacuum /pressure test done before spending any money on parts. If it does pass, I would suggest upgrading the coil to version 3 and a white solenoid at the same time. May be a good idea to install a carb kit and new fuel filter while you're at it. It may be wiser to just buy a new saw. If your saw has a ton of use, many of the other wear parts (clutch, rings, brake, rubber components etc.) could be on their way out. At a certain point saws become a money pit. That is for you to decide. Remember, after you replace the coil/solenoid, everything else on the saw is 7-8 years old.

Sorry about another oil opinion.. Do you think that Saber at 40:1 burns as clean as red armor at 40:1. Do both seem to lubricate as good as the other.

Saber at 40:1 burns super clean. Both are some of the best oils you can buy. Saber IMHO is the better of the two.

It's to my understanding so I'm asking. ??doesn't it need to be warmed up first before calibration ? I do ..so that's why I'm asking always thought it would hurt it if not?
@richardflagg3084
10 ай бұрын
It's baked in to the calibration, so to speak. That 30 seconds on choke allows the saw to warm up, and more importantly saturate the crankcase with a rich fuel mix. As it goes through the calibration process it's set up for success. That's my laymans explanation of it
