Thank you so much for the excellent video. The part I bought wasn’t as expected bought 201t and it should have been 201tc-m) and I had to transfer the old wiring harness to the new one and plug some adjustment holes back by the carb that the tc-m doesn’t have to keep debris out. Your video kept me from making matters a lot worse. 😂
Should I buy the part number on the bag or the part you put in? Thanks! Appreciate the tutorial. Especially the part about buying the assembly instead of the pieces.
Yes, as long as it's an MTronic version. The non-MTronic has a different housing. The only thing the handle assembly doesn't come with is the throttle rod that hooks to the right side of the carb. I've seen them missing on a rare occasion depending how bad it's broken.
If it's an older 201tc, it may be the fuel solenoid. Typically if there is a bad wire it won't run at all. It will just pop off and that's it. If the coil doesn't get a signal from the carb it shuts itself down.
Nope. The main reason is the non MTronic doesn't have the channels to run the wiring harness through the top handle. There are other differences, but this one is the real deal breaker.
@@richardflagg3084 I agree, I was just looking at that. Sure there might be a way to safely have it routed threw there but why go threw the trouble. I’ll just get the right handle assembly. Dealers over here. Don’t know what chainsaws are. Lol atleast the part department doesn’t
@@Wakeupdud3 Good call. I didn't go through all the differences as there are many besides the wiring. Choke and throttle linkages, kill switch, air filter base etc. IIRC the part number is in the video. if not the Stihl part number is 1145 790 1024
@@richardflagg3084 right now I have an ms200t that has been leak tested 10x lol, and no leaks not even when turning crankshaft it’ll hold 8.5 all day and vacuum, I set carb without limiters at 1 1/4 each and it won’t kick over, unless I spray some fuel into the carb, then it’ll run crazy for awhile until I take it off choke and squeeze the throttle and as soon as I do that it’ll die at high rpm, I blocked off that Welch plug already. Might need a new carb?
Dude....thank you for making this. I got one of these given to me in a box of parts. Similar situation with the handle. Helps me out a lot!
Thanks for taking the time to educate people like myself
just watched this to help me fix my 201T. Was great and everything works/fits together perfect now

Another master class from a super teacher!
Great video! Me and a friend used this video start to finish and did it perfectly.
Nice!!

Thanks man perfect video for me to follow 1st time stripping an expensive saw and nailed it. Appreciate the video
Thanks for the kind words. Glad it helped.
Thanks a lot from France, help a lot! Cheers
Thanks for the vid, much appreciated, just did my first handle.

thank you for sharing your experience with us
Excellent video
Right on brother
Hi Richard,
Can the ignition module also inspected with your multimeter? And what schuld be the readings?
Thx in advance,
Ramon
Thank you for this video!
Good work.
I have one that won’t idle was wondering if it could be the wires in the handle or something on the carburetor
If it's an older 201tc, it may be the fuel solenoid. Typically if there is a bad wire it won't run at all. It will just pop off and that's it. If the coil doesn't get a signal from the carb it shuts itself down.
May also be a good idea to pressure and vacuum test it. It could be an air leak. Hard to say without having it on the bench.
Is it possible to use non mtronic handle assembly with an mtronic chanisaw of this model
Nope. The main reason is the non MTronic doesn't have the channels to run the wiring harness through the top handle. There are other differences, but this one is the real deal breaker.
