Page 10 of the MS 200, 200T (1129) Parts Diagrams shows Reference ID 3 as a "sleeve" and Reference ID 10 as a "washer." I know that both are (gold) metal and, more importantly, that both are in the saw. They both came out when the saw was cleaned for the (H) high-speed adjustment screw modification [which was covered early in this thread], but they did not come out when we just installed the new C1Q-S16A carb.

I believe I got the parts diagram from the link in your signature, Lone Wolf, so we should be on the same page (eventually). :popcorn:

Almost there ...

Just like it belongs in there ...

... but what about that compensator style backing plate? What would you folks recommend for the compensator snorkel hole (upper-right of backing plate)?

Does it have to be absolutely air tight? :popcorn:
 
Anybody?

Does the snorkel hole in the upper-right hand corner of the compensator backing plate have to be sealed air-tight?

If I've confused anyone, please see the last photo I posted. The hole I'm referring to is in the upper-right corner of the backing plate. :popcorn:

Not to test run it ,but you want to seal it or get the proper one it will suck dirt in.
 
He's probably busy cutting wood with it, if it hadn't worked he'd have been back by now :popcorn:
 
it's Thursday here, but I'd still be running the bugger if I'd just found the fix after all that.
 
So far, so good ...

The saw runs 1000% better than it has in weeks. I'll post photos later, but I wanted to get back to the thread with the progress in the meantime ... and, yes, I did do some flashlight windthrow cleanup with the saw, now that it's running. :)

In the meantime, I'd love to read about how some of the MS 200T owners on the AS.com forum board like to tune the carburetors. :cheers:

Don't forget the hole in the mounting plate.Now pull the screen from the muffler and tach it to 13500- 14000 rpms

I screwed with my 200T carb for hours/days/weeks on end and finally had to throw in the towel and just buy a new one. Runs great now.
That's the first time that a carb has ever beat me into submission. I'm sorry I let you all down. I had to tap out like a little girl.

Thanks again, ...

... Lone Wolf. I'll go through the link you posted as soon as I get a chance to.

Take a look at this thread when you get a chance, Tony. The whole thing is dedicated to an Ongoing MS 200T Carburetor Issue.

By the way, a new carb was installed earlier today, so I'm looking for tips on how to tune the new carb, a Zama C1Q-S16A.

Have a good one, :cheers:

Did you have to change any throttle/choke linkages with the C1Q-S16A? Thanks.
