@@drewscreations8551lol I went looking and found it before seeing your reply. She really digs in now. I use to have 2 of those and it would have been awesome to have had them perform that great, though I had no complaint with them anyway. I miss those saws. Very cool. 😎👍
@@williamgrissom1995 they’re a great saw! I have a rear handle model I run now that is much better for use on the ground. Same saw but better feel lol.
@@drewscreations8551 awesome. I never tried the rear handle version. I generally used my ms261 if I felt I needed a rear handle and a Ms361 with a 25 inch bar with a skip tooth chain for the larger stuff. The MS200T and the Ms361 saws were my favorite goto saws. I did like the ms009. It was slower but with plenty of torque. I gave my brother a ms170 and a farm boss. I think it was the Stihl MS290. Needless to say I am a Stihl fan. Lol
Hi Andrew!!😀😀 Good to see you buddy!!😀😀 Nice job on the saw. The muffler mod really made a big difference in power all by it's self. Now if it was ported it would really scream. Take care my friend!!😀😀
hi drew,your a great mechanic ! carb replacement becomes a nightmare after several trys .. intake boot keep deforming during installation on 200t stihl.. can you please help me...tom
I don’t think you necessarily loose power unless you go too far. You can loose some torque by advancing timing because usually timing is associated with RPM. I don’t really port 200s because I feel like there isn’t much there to gain. Joe harkness has a chainsaw dyno and he ported one and machined the chamber and base and when it was done, it showed an 8% gain on the dyno. With most saws you get 10-20% and most of the time more along the lines of 15-20 when done properly. This is all just hypothetical though because there are a million factors that affect all this. Hope this helps
@@drewscreations8551 definitely agree ...on the million factors point... tinman says the same thing... same numbers will yield very different results from one porter to another not to mention every saw is different also
@@BogBones slip the muffler in there, run the bolts up through, then carefully slip the gasket on the bolts and then push it all up and make sure it’s lining up, then start the bolts and make sure the gasket is still in place.
How much do you file off the key before its too much? I changed the cluch drum over to run a micro p chain on my 200t planning to do timing and exhaust maybe a wee port bothering if i dare ! Thanks for video be curious to know how much to go before i start ! Cheers
Awesome job Drew, glad you you’re back with some videos.
Good work. I need to do that timing trick on my 2511.
Great job buddy! Have a great weekend! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
You too!
I was hoping to see how she cuts now after the mods.
Cool video! 😎😎
Got a video of it cutting

Very nice work bud, seems a little more snappy!
Nice freakin job there. Snappy heck yea. !!🦾❤️🔥☀️
Thank you!
I did the West Coast muffler mod and the maximum rpm is now 15,500 at wide open throttle. Really improved throttle response and horsepower.😮🤯🐴🔋⛓️🪚🪵
Snappy and happy!! 😂 great job buddy!!
Lol I like that! Thank you pal! Need to hangout soon! 😂
@@drewscreations8551 yea we do brother!! Been busy down here lately.
@@grayclapp1081 same here
What you are advancing here if stock ignition timing in 200t is already on 32 degrees which is max you can advance, good luck with that…
I’m the guy that puts an oversized screw in a saw if it strips out😆
Your evil sir!
Hi Andrew!!😀😀
Good to see you buddy!!😀😀

200s don’t really gain much from porting. I’ve done a few and they don’t run much different
hi drew,your a great mechanic ! carb replacement becomes a nightmare after several trys .. intake boot keep deforming during installation on 200t stihl.. can you please help me...tom
Thanks buddy! I appreciate it! Are you having issues getting the boot on the actually cylinder, or is it when you go to put the handle on?
john's custom saws I believe mentioned you lose power when you advance the timing on these.... any thoughts? thanks for sharing
I don’t think you necessarily loose power unless you go too far. You can loose some torque by advancing timing because usually timing is associated with RPM.

definitely
How did you keep the gasket on the muffler while you snugged it up in there?
@@BogBones slip the muffler in there, run the bolts up through, then carefully slip the gasket on the bolts and then push it all up and make sure it’s lining up, then start the bolts and make sure the gasket is still in place.

Thanks for video be curious to know how much to go before i start ! Cheers
Usually 1/4-1/2 the key is what I do
How did you unscrew that without something holding the other nut on the other side???
What are you referring to? The flywheel?
When I work on a saw I have to swear and throw things or something or it won’t come out right.
It’s like that sometimes lol
Let me send mine to you bud
You have a 200t you want done?
@@drewscreations8551 020t I could do it myself but don't really have enough time constantly working let me know if you pour and polish as well
@@nicolasadams6431 I do port work, but I don’t port 200t saws. I’ll do the timing advance and muffler mod though
Thems mean little saws....my farmertec clone is a beast🤙🏻🪓😎..nice work buddy
Thanks! Yeah they are!
