Felixia Banck aka Femalelumberjack trying to get an old saw looking like a new one. Just got my hands on a used ms 200 top handle chainsaw. It hasn't been used for several years and is in need of a lot of TLC.

You always treat your saws so nicely!

Thanks! I had a 200t given to me. Didn’t run, cleaned it like you showed. New filters, plug, fuel line, fresh fuel and it runs great! Keep up the great work in your career and the videos.

@williamgrissom1995Ай бұрын
That was a mildly used saw. Great buy. It seems like the previous owners used it long enough to wear down one side of the bar from not flipping the bar over and that's about it. It's still practically a new saw that has just been broken in really good. What a find! Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I hope you have a blast with your new 200t for many years to come! 😁🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I've just rebuilt an MS200T for myself! One thing I would advise is to take off your clutch and check the springs (mine were super dodgy) and then grease the bearing for the sprocket as if they run dry they can ruin the crankshaft which is a very expensive part!
@alexpearson8481 Жыл бұрын
Great tip thanks. Really appreciate, I do that this winter for sure. They show stuffing rope inside the cylinder to stop the rotation so you can spin off the sprocket. Is there a better way?
@alexpearson8481 Жыл бұрын
Thanks. Are you sure about greasing that bearing? Stihl tech line disagrees. He said that bearing is only used during idle and under load the bearing just sits there. He said grease will attract dust and dirt. He also mentioned the crank shaft is significantly harder metal as well. I’m open to all suggestions. Have you seen a damaged crankshaft as a result of the bearing?
@MrPaddy1000111 Жыл бұрын
@@alexpearson8481 I'd definitely grease it. If you don't they get hot and you can easily score the crankshaft or damage something. I think if you look at the service manual for installation it even says to grease it and tells you what grease to use. They even make a sprocket bearing grease

Great job on a “diamond in the rough”!!! A saw like that is worth keeping clean and well maintained. I do not understand people who pay a lot for their equipment and do not maintain it properly. I have an older model 020T that is my favorite saw. Pound for pound it is the most powerful saw that Sthil makes.

I was hoping you were going to put a Stihl light weight bar. My son runs a 16” lw and loves it. I the saw starts to run strange and revs high shut it down and have it pressure tested. As good as the MS200T is they are notorious for having bad crank seals and needing carburetor kits. Enjoy your new treasure!

@WAVETUBE844 жыл бұрын
If sawdust, dirt, etc. is allowed to build up in the chain brake area, the chain brake band will drag upon the clutch housing. That will put a constant load on the motor, overheating it a bit and slow it down. I found that Simple Green cleans my Stihl Saws really well!
