- 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.
Beautiful saw. One of your best videos yet! Perfect balance of camera angles, editing, humor, and background music. And I'm envious of that saw...
Thank you 😉
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!
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?
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?
@@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
The smile at the end of revving it up says it all ! Congrats, so happy for you. Stay safe using it and you will be using it for a lifetime. 😁👍
Just got my first 200t today and I’ll be doing the same to mine this weekend. It’s just nice to have a fresh start with a new saw
I guess I’ll never understand some people. These saws are expensive and will last a long time with a little care and maintenance. I’m glad to see you have brought it back to what it should be. Great video.
To hear you be so excited about that saw is awesome. The STIHL box that it came in that's pretty cool too.😁👍
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.
With u on that one friend.. and the engines is less problematic and simple...x
On a well used second hand saw, I also like to change the fuel and oil filters. Especially on a saw that hesn't seen too much love ! Maybe also grease rge needle bearing ? Awesome video though, loved the out-take at the end ! Be happy together ;-)
Wish my girl would get this excited when I bring home a new powersaw! I have a beautiful little modded 200t that I will never get rid of! Love it. Gold standard climbing saw!
Thats a cracking example!! Now in a deserved home, wish all tree’ists looked after their saws this well.
We bought a well used 200T a year or more ago. The finish was not nearly the good shape yours is. Still runs great after some carb repairs by the dealer. Adjusting screw setup was worn out. Runs great now. Very pleased with ours. I hope you enjoy your new saw as well.
Now I need to go and clean my 020T and make look as clean as yours. Good job Felixia 👍
Can you do a video on all of you're chainsaws and equipment
Good job cleaning that saw i love working with clean machines
Cleaning the Stihl emblem on the side cover.....priceless!
Wow, it cleaned up nicely! The cases look good as well, it should be a good one.
I recently purchased one of these and it was good to see a video of someone going through it and cleaning it. Yes, I am too lazy to read a manual! Great video and the production quality of your videos is damn good. Thanks for the video, its very helpful!
Nice to see you back, you did a great job!
Anyone else think that bar looks mint maybe some bur flat filling, check for straightness, an check the rails other than that flip it an run it, looks great nice score!
I’m keeping it for back up 😉
Looked like you went from 12" to 14". Definite upgrade if so.
That bar looks totally fine. She didn’t actually inspect it lol
You helped me a lot. Thanks for this great video. I have the same baby. I love the MS 200 T so much! I will never give it away.
Hello! It's good to watch you like these machines! It was nice after cleaning! I wish you joyful and accident-free work :) from here in Hungary :)
That was a huge smile when you got it started. 👍😁😁😁
can't hide the joy ;)
The best top handle saws ever built. Great job
I love the outtakes from you guys! Gold! :P
excellent demonstration of primary maintenance
Nice 2 see you back. Love to have that saw
Nice saw sweetie, I just started building 1 but all new oem parts my bottom end is here and my cylinder and piston are on the way
Have a blessed day and be careful. Look forward for your next video
I'm so jealous. After having a brand new 200t that I had to let go, and now I couldn't afford even a used one.
I'm hoping the Chinese clones of the ms200t don't disappoint too much, since that's what I was able to buy. Fingers crossed that my new saws do ok, since I bought to versions. 🤞☺️
A pleasure to watch your video,good job!
Best top handle saw ever
Yes 100%
great job just the way I like it! I could never leave a chainsaw in those conditions!
That little beast cleaned up quite nice. Excellent rescue Felixia!
It helps the saw run better and last longer by taking care of it like you are doing.
Great saw, still got the sticker on the front and looks to be the original side cover before they changed the design. Nice find!
I'm into modding and I've got a few. I forget how lucky I am and how people are happy to have one nice one. Nice to see it cherished.
Good to have you back! :)
Beautiful work and a loving hand.
😀 Great video - Looks good as new! The smoke 🤣🤣🤣 SEND IT!
You did a great job and it's a great find!
Thanks
I was lucky to be given a defective 020T and an ms200 rear handle, also defective. £115 and some time, and they were running again! Just about my best saws!
Looks great. Enjoy the new saw.
Thank you
I’m loving this new video! I’m jealous young lady!
Great video you did a nice job on that saw love you videos keep up the good work
Thank you
Good video, I like to do what you just did so I can see if any issues are going to happen and replace worn parts before they break. As far as the old bar, I hope you keep it for a back up. Look like you take care of your saws. Nice! Looks new and sounds even better. Loved the bloopers by the way!
That did not look to bad to start with .... happy for you
8 Stihl. Products. And love every one of. Them. 👍🎉🎉🎉☃️☃️☃️
You can clean my saws anytime it looks great they are very powerful Sawls for their size👍👍
Love my 200t
Fantastic saw
Awesome job feamle lumberjack
Hello how are you doing today. It helps to keep a saw clean. I clean mine after everytime I use it.
Best climbing saw made. Great job, it's a shame to dirty it up.🎉
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!
Hmm. I don't know why I would watch a Stihl video from beginning to end, but I did.
So jealous!!! The Holy Grail of chainsaws. I’ve been looking for one for quite a while and haven’t found one yet that was a decent price. Any that are in good condition people want way too much for them. Nice find. 😁
Your pulling at my heart strings.
I just love the saw.
Looking for one myself.
My echo died. Small saw big heart.
Piston cracked.
Can't find any parts .
+ RESTING in Peace
Good video. If you've got an air compressor it makes cleaning the saw soo much quicker and easier, you blast everything with air (a small engine mechanic gave me this advice btw)
I did clean it with an air compressor
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!
Hi how r u today ur very happy with that best of luck with it ur doing greet work keep it up
Flott og du er så utrolig flink til å jobbe med motorsag vaske og stelle på saga 😂 😎 💪 😊 fint å se på den saga
Just picked up 2 of the ms200t saws today at a yardsale for $30. Going to starting cleaning them now.
Great video! That’s so clean!!
Absolutely 💯
I bet this fixed it too.
Most guys would have replaced every part before just giving it a proper clean
Lol
I also remove the carb cover. Spraying everything down with brakecleen
Good work 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍, Sthil is#1, That's the way I am about all my power equipment
Best climbing saw ever
Am jealous it was the best top handle saw I every had by a long way
I’m very excited as you might see in the video 😆
Awesome 😎 job looks good I have a used 025 I picked up used for a good price that needs some TLC.
Hopefully there is good hours ahead on your chainsaw :-) Some time ago I needed to replace fuel and oil caps on my MS201 (I bought it as a used saw).
Now ya talking ,!,!!!MS200 climbers saw, unbelievably good saws,wish I still had one.I don’t know what brands of oil you can get in Denmark ,but if you can use Castrols TT blue synthetic oil,swear by it.brake cleaner does a good job with cleaning it,takes the oil of and leaves it dry once evaporated.👍
Another awesome A class video 📹👏
Thank you
It does look new
Nice job. I think I would have went ahead and changed everything though. Carb. Gaskets, fuel lines and filters ECT.
BTW, just a pointer, take the pull cord out a little bit before you shut the saw off.
Welcome to the Stihl 200 climb 😎
Thanks
good work , working on one at the moment , non runner , not mine , waiting for a carb kit ,
Nice
I didn't realize you were from Denmark, we had 4 Danish girls as exchange students of the years. I wanted to come visit them but your country is soooo expensive. It is much cheaper to have them come back over here.
You must use file to extract a gap on bar or grinder with cutting disc and polish gap on barr and then the old barr will be like new one more time and redy to cutt same new pace of wood-cheers and all the best!!!
I will fixing mine stihl ms 250 this week
Wow! It looks brand new! Well done. Only tree people understand the importance of this saw lol
Great video 👏🏼💥😉
Regularly check chain brake Felix,good job cleaning it back up.
I had 5 in last week for various repairs, 1 was ported and had work done on the cylinder and the exhaust. Go a picture off all 5 but can't post here 😕
Great job awsome video
Thanks
This t handle chainsaw its comfortable for arborist i know i use them regulary ,lite weight also !!!
Great vid....I have been using a product called Muck off to clean saw parts, think it's made for cycle bikes.
Out of all my small engine tools I love my Stihl 8mm T-handle wrench. It just looks cool and feels great in the hand. What do you think?
Watch that kickback !
You are a cute stihl rev head i think you are amazing.
Woww!!!👍🏼😍
I would love to have a MS200T to replace my 193T
She's Beautiful
Your tree ready now yee haw
please if you can make a video on how to clean the exhaust on this model. I also have a 200t and I would like to clean the exhaust. thank you
All I do is take it all apart and wire brush the crap out of it
Buen video.ms 200 similar a 011av.me gustaria que muestre mas sobre carburacion en esos modelos de stihl ya que me es dificil conseguir datos.saludos de Argentina Argentina
I'm not sure your affiliation with Sthil but think forward. You would do well in sales. Just thought....
Hello do you use just water and soap?
Common problem with these saws was the clutch springs going all the time,causes them too (run on),really bad when your climbing.
I was able to get my hands on 2 of those saws and mine needed work too. I ended up buying a IR air compressor to help facilitate removing the gunk off my babies. I've also had to switch out both the oil pump and antivibe/dampers on my first one. Other than that, the saw runs amazing! Did you disassemble and completely clean the chain brake mechanism offscreen?
