Man I got to say that you kept mentioning that we were hardcore watching this. I would love if I could get my hands on more videos that taught me how to tear down and rebuild some stuff. I'm sitting on a 201T that I want to completely disassemble, clean, re-lube however which way I need to after cleaning with probably gasoline?, and then put it back together. This is one video in that step. I wish more people didn't skip what they thought was easy in their videos. I can build a computer and I can do a lot of other things but I don't have any small engine knowledge because I've never done it. So as someone that's trying to learn I wholeheartedly say thank you. I enjoy the detailed explanation and showing of what's necessary. Thanks dude.
I keep things a long time, like cars, tools. Your videos have become my reference library for Stihl work. They're the real deal, not just how to change a filter.
You video was so educational. I use to do some small work on these back when I was firefighting. But lost most of the tear down. With you making small mistakes and mentioning what could go wrong and how to correct it, really was good information. And yes, I did stay till the end. What good is it to try and learn from an expert, if you don't listen and watch everything you need to know. That's like reading a book and stopping mid way, then trying to tell the story as if you read the whole book. Thank you for this and I will definitely keep you in mind and continue referencing back to get more training. 👍
Made it all the way to the end, this was awesome. I got a free 201 blown up torn apart. Finish doing some porting on the cylinder, now gotta put the handle and carb back on but never did it before, I’ll be watching the video again and following you in real time lol
Richard, Made it to the end. I just did this job last Friday on one that got dropped duh. Sad part was I did same job on same saw last Oct. gravity won again. And I still had some pics on my phone to guide a bit. I did the clockwork and harness in the handle after primary mounting of the handle to the power head. Your way added gravity to help hold things in place, I'll try your way next time. Thanks from Darlington SC, Gary
Made it to the end, tech at an echo dealer here. The dealership doesnt take on Stihl to work and as long as it doesnt compete with the dealership I can do all the side work i want. Your videos have been highly informative and already helped me pay for groceries a time or two.
I like the way that you stress to not tighten down screws into the plastic too hard. I had to learn that the hard way. If you have a nothing for fixing stripped out plastic threads, that would make a real good video? Somebody has to have a better solution to stripped out threads and plastic them to use a couple of pieces of zip-tie. I have been really enjoying your videos, keep up the good work.
Perfect timing on this video Rich. Just cracked the handle on my 201t c. Thank you for taking the time to show the repair. You definitely saved me $ 👍👍.
Rich, this video was EXCELLENT!! I got handed one of these saws as a box of parts, and zero experience wrenching on top handles. It sat for several frustrating months until I stumbled across your video. Man,I had her back together in a couple hours. Thank you so much for the detailed instruction and calm delivery.....huge help, brother. Be well!
I made it all the way. I do some maintenance on stihls so always enjoy watching u and how things r done. I can always figure it out myself with logic. Great video 👍
They can't take a hit like the 200's. I've probably done 50 in the last two years. I've replaced one or two for just being pinched and yanking on them.
Great video! Richard I just tore down an MS200T to the short block and found bad fuel lines and shut off wire grounding out by the flywheel. I also found some minor scoring of the piston and cylinder and I don't know if I should keep going on this saw or cut my losses at this point....what do you think?
Also made too end. The more l saw of that saw the less l want one. I prefer a saw that doesnt need electronics for the fuel, or a port to plug into a computer.
I'm a new 201TC owner and the saw was purchased by myself as a not going repair job. Your videos are extremely helpful.

Of course I made it until the end. Good video buddy.

Awesome it's the stepwise detail that is sorely missed in other TH-cam's videos that made this breakdown easy to follow thankyou
Thank you!
Needed the very last thing you did. The throttle linkage. Very detailed. Thank you
Thank you.
Thanks Lad. Was given a saw in pieces and told to assemble lol. Could not have done it without you😅
Another great video, Rich. Haven't gotten to my 261, snowmobile race season is taken presidents ! And I always make it to the end! 🤣

I watched to the end- just finished working on a MS 192TC and the top handle linkage was a pain! Thanks for the great video-learned a lot 😊
One of best channels out .informative
Perfect timing on this video Rich. Just cracked the handle on my 201t c. Thank you for taking the time to show the repair. You definitely saved me $ 👍👍.
I finished it too. Great video that explains everything. Not boring at all
That was an excellent breakdown. You educated me and help save $$$. Thanks for your time.
Thank you!
I made it to the end great job enjoyed it

That's what it's all about! Thank you!
Not at all pertinent to me at the moment. But never know when this information will be priceless! Thanks for sharing👍🏻 on with the video!!

Nice Rich. TY for sharing. 1st time I've seen one of those apart.
I literally just had to do this the other day. Wish I’d seen the video beforehand.
Great work! Please keep them coming if you have the time.

Thanks! You can skip the ads, it's a fraction of a penny, literally.

3rd time I’ve used this video. All the top handle saws are a booger. Seems like the handle always gets broken. Thanks

Hey set that down right there 😂😂😂

I did make it to the end. Inquiring minds want to know.
I made it to the end
Couple things a little different than how I do them but annoying pita either way for sure, no way around it.
How much ? Can you get me one ? Im seeing 135 dollars oem ??
I only get a 10% discount at the counter. Shipping would eat that up quick, fast and in a hurry.
Also made too end. The more l saw of that saw the less l want one. I prefer a saw that doesnt need electronics for the fuel, or a port to plug into a computer.
