- I honestly can't say how many 200s I've had my hands on... I would guess over 500... ive ported and customized over 250 so counting straight up repairs as well... definitely more than a few... all OEM... zero Chinese parts... all ported and machined... the "Limb Reaper" builds are 020 cylinders and converted to 1/4" pitch chain.... those that follow me know my favorite saw of all time is the MS250 for totally different reasons but my vote for the PERFORMANCE pound for pound champ is the 200T without a doubt... the badge alone is worth 1.6 million dollars...

Love the 200's , the way those saws run is incredible. I pretty much started on rebuilding 200's . Not porting just bringing them back to life and freshen them up. May be my favorite saw. Wish I had some of them ones I sold back haha. Yours look and run incredible my man!
The red one is the best looking "SAW" I have ever "SAW" I gasped when I "SAW" it lol!
Thanks man that is probably my all time favorite 200 that I've ever done
Those little saws are amazing 🤙🏻🪓😎
Probably one of the best saws ever made
Performance wise I would agree... they pack a punch for their size
My favorite part was most of the cuts were in hard wood or going through knots. That is dope builds.
I've honestly never ran one. Have a Mac top handle that's meh. And an echo top handle that was my very first port job and it needs a new cylinder cause I can't let anyone see what it looks like it was so baaaa-impressive. I meant impressive. Amazing builds you do, man. LET'S GET ROWDY!
Thanks my friend... you definitely need to run a good running 200... hard to explain how impressive they are in words
Yeah u dont know what u are missing running a 200t. Its like going from a honda civic to muscle car!
Funtime sawrus
Bad a$$ 35cc saws.
I have it's little brother, the 193T.
I was surprised how well it ran after a small muffler mod.
Just the amount of 200s on his shelf says all u need to know about his work ! Would love one of these! !
Me too
@@williamgrissom1995Guys Was that a Evil Laughing Man from the Song Gorillaz Feel Good Inc the song with Rick Ross
i want top get a old one of these and put the motor into a 1/5 rc car the thing would dig trenches for days
I love running my 200 stock I would love to run one of John's just to feel the difference
Absolute limb reaping RIPPA’s my dude! Keep killing it, you got my support and I got your back brother!
Inspires me to maybe quit stalling and fricken finish building my 200t kit saw build that I lost interest in at about 87% completed when I realized that I didn’t feed that damn coil wire and ignition wires correctly before I damn near finished putting it together 🤢🤮
That sucks... ive been there... you definitely don't need to split the case tho... you do have to tear it down. A bit but not too bad
@@johnscustomsaws yeah I actually watched your latest 200t vid to figure out what I was supposed to do in the first place! But that’s what happens when you just fly by the seat of your pants and start putting fasteners into holes and hoping it comes together in the end 😂😂 you see I’ve slapped together many a 660, 460, 440, 361, 360, heck even a couple 372’s... so why wouldn’t I think to myself... this has to be at least a little similar to those right?! Yeah not so much 😂😂
@@dmnsawshop8160 i know guys that work on saws exclusively and hate working on the top handles lol
@@johnscustomsaws I don’t blame them one bit! Like I said, at least when it comes to the “0” and the “MS0” generations of pro level chainsaws (046, and MS460 for example) if you have built from scratch one of them, you can just about build any of them, figuring out which fasteners go in which specific holes is the most difficult part for a beginner IMHO, a couple steps in the process certainly can be a little intimidating, for instance, many guys get scared installing the crank and crank seals for the first time. But but besides that, any person that has a little bit better than average wrench turning skill, can definitely, at the very least, get a saw
Build to fire up! Which is a very addicting thing! I cut my saw building teeth on the ever addicting Farmertec Complete box of parts that could technically be used to build your own saw kits, And I tell you what, when that fricken 660 popped on the 3rd pull then roared to life on the 4th, it’s like in that magic moment in time, every last star in all the universe was in its perfect alignment, a beam of pure ecstasy was shot down from the heavens directly into my brain and my soul crushingly powerful addiction to kit building had taken ahold of me.
My ole lady says that I should write and sell poetry 😂😂
But seriously, after building piles of all these big saws, trying to build a top handle is like trying to read Korean! Although maybe not as weird as metaphorically speaking the “stihl” saw building language and then trying to speak “Husqvarna” without any help! The Germans and the Swedes definitely came to different conclusions when trying to answer the question “how do you build a kickass chainsaw?”
I’ll stop talking now. You rock brother! Keep it up!
@@johnscustomsaws I fricken
Got my stupid 200t build running
Because of you.. just posted a short of it running!
Love you videos! Why the Stihl ms250 your favorite saw? Or if there is a video a missed of you talking a out why it it's your favorite.
In my years of working on saws I can say without a doubt the 250 is way tougher and way better than it should be.... its like nobody told the 250 its a plastic clam shell homeowner saw... they are tough as hell and so ridiculously popular it seems almost everyone has one... I worked at a stihl and husky dealership for years and whenever someone didn't know what they wanted but they just wanted "a saw" i would set them up with a 250 (unless they needed a bigger saw) and not one time did i have anyone that wasn't happy with it... I will have to do a video on it some day again
Some older guy on a computer whose never built a saw will have something negative to say about it 😂 killer man!
My favorite saw is an ms260
I got a 462 (28")bar and recently got one of these im wondering what i should run bar size and sprocket set up. I really em diggin the the 1/4 instead of 3/8 spoket because i got kombi set up with a polesaw 1/4 (12")bar Would be interested in hearing peoples perspective.
I love this video!!!! Makes me want to start a tree climbing business just for an excuse to run badass top handle saws like that all day 😉 those saws are proof even if a saw is already awesome stock that you can make it amazing and mind blowing with the the right skills
That all blacked out stealth looking 200 is pretty!! They all absolutely RIP 👏🏼
After seeing that u want him doing one you , that’s fo sure !!!really want a 200 pipe looks sweet and clean sounds cranking
Them saws totally rip! Badass
U build a helluva saw sir!
Those little saws are so cool. I’m looking to buy a 201 or 194 for the Engine. A little saw that we can use doing structure protection or limbing up trees on the back roads or bucking small things out of the road. Also I just bought a Simington 451c from MADSENDS so I’m excited to try square ground for falling. I’ll put it head to head with the HEXA I’m making. I’ll prob make a series on TH-cam.
I can't believe how fast those cut through the hard wood with knots! Here on the left coast we have soft wood and idk if my saw cuts through knots that fast!
Good chains help too
@JOHNS CUSTOM SAWS I agree haha I might have to address that
@@itsaRiot it changed my life getting good chains man... I still suck at sharpening chains but soon as I had people reach out because they were frustrated watching me cut with spoons for cutters 🤦♂️
@JOHNS CUSTOM SAWS I love your videos! eventually when I get the time I'm gonna try to learn how to learn how to square cut chains and sharpen them
Holy smokes, all Jack the rippers. That cross cut was super sexy👍
Made my living with these. Absolutely brilliant saws. Tried the 540 top handle Husqvarna when they came out. The struggle with starting when warm and wanting choke half the time, I still work with people who struggle getting those started mid job. Sold mine after 2 weeks and bought another 200t.
Nice one John! 🤩
I like your videos before watching because I know it’s fire.
Dude thanks I appreciate it my man
Anytime. Looking forward to the ms250 build. Out of all my saws that’s the one I grab the most.
Good morning John question from Las Vegas on the 200t. I'm gonna do a complete tear down of 1 I have. The main housing gasket do I need to us any gasket sealer along with the new OEM stihl gasket for the main housing thank love your channel brother.
Just saw this sorry... but the gasket alone is all I need... probably too late now my bad
Off topic if you don't mind.
Do you have any issues with your grinding bits loading up with aluminum or do I just need to get better bits lol (trade softer and harder pressure already)
Lol trust me I could build my dream shop with wadded up aluminum ive dug out if my burs... ever try cutting wax? I got some choke tube grease for shotguns and muzzle loaders... but the easiest way is to have a wire wheel on your bench top grinder at all times and hit the bit with the wire wheel and run the tool backwards if you can... it takes it right out... otherwise even running it forward and using the grinder and wire wheel
@@johnscustomsaws well that makes me feel better . Thanks for the answer.
Keep up the awsome vids.
Brother. Please. Build one for me? I have an 020T from 1999 or 2000. She bad to the bone. Are you up for it?
Just saw this sorry for the late reply... I don't do the 20s anymore sorry man
Love the colours on those saws good porting work done to
ill never understand why the 200t is considered to be soo much better than the other top handles
They definitely have a cult following and they are hyped up but still they are the best power to weight saw made... I have pinned them up against every top handle head to head and have not found one that can beat it in a decent size cut... the husky 338 was super close and with smaller cuts the 2511T is faster because of the chain speed.. but when u get to bigger 8" cuts and up especially hardwood they are unbeatable
Price on one
Sorry I don't sell them anymore but I am building one for a customer of mine that passed away and it's going to be auctioned off on Instagram... I would tell you to bid on it if you are interested I'm thinking it's gonna bring a considerable amount of money though... I just don't do used sauce anymore that's the whole deal if you could still buy them new I would gladly do them
Superbe quelle sont vos qualités et angle de chaine
👍
Hallo John könnte ich dir eine MS 200t abkaufen ? Ich habe starkes Interesse der der 200T
Gruß aus Berlin
Awesome builds. Would be great if ya get some free time to do a video on tuning a 200T.
Tune em rich on the low end... everyone leans them out... they cut so much better at about 1 1/8 L and 3/4 H
Hey man great content..I'm in the middle of a redmax 260 trimmer build for myself. Ported cylinder intake and carburetor has been bores over all port matched, I haven't changed the height of any ports just widened the port. I think it's gonna be cool, who the hell hops up a weedeater lol me. I wanna do gasket delete but I have no degree wheel no sure how much to take off ports- roof or floor of port. But man you got those saws busting wood and taking names.
Thats definitely different... I have had people ask about trimmers and blowers and I haven't messed with them... you are asking the wrong guy if you want to play it safe... personally I would toss the gasket... I put performance over longevity any day of the week... otherwise whats the point... if it blows up im not responsible tho 🙄💥
@@johnscustomsaws yea its kinda silly beef up the weedeater but I been doing landscaping tree work for 15 years it's time for little more grunt..I love those 260s light powerful just goes and goes..carburetor intake has been bore bigger transfers exhaust roof raised not much but wide than stock base gasket off. In process of putting new rings on now then back together..keep doing your thing that nos 460 is nuts, people I show that too blown away.👍🇺🇲
Do you got a e-mail that I could ask you a couple of questions about these 200t:s?
I can't give it out in the comments TH-cam won't let me but its my complete business name and its a Gmail account 😉
Great saws for sure ! Love mine ❤️
Damm ripperssss👍🏼👍🏼🪓🪓
this saw got too strong
Ước co một con
One of my worst regrets was selling my one in 2012, it’d done about 10 jobs and was hardly ran in.
Sold it for £200 before moving to Australia.
Since then I’ve been building up a collection and doin rebuilds but can’t believe the deal the guy buying it got
Show us some trade secrets on the ms250’s
I really don't do anything to them but a slight muffler mod and 3/8" chain
conversion
Those are clamshells, hard to get more compression out of them
@@alexstromberg7696 yeah I don't port them.. I love the 250s for a whole different reason... they are just a damn tough saw that does a lot more than it should... In fact I have never ported one... but just because of the way I have talked them up I will have to get one and machine the bearing pockets and actually do a port job on one and see if I can't make a ripper out of it lol
Very nice saws and builds! Those ported mufflers are sick, did you make them yourself? Would love to either find one to buy or do one for my 020T,Thanks!🤘🏼
Now see thats what im talkin about , that 200t cuts through big logs in the tree like no other , the 200t is definitely the undisputed champ of climb saws
How do i go about getting work done from you i love in Florida i would to have you dye all my stihl equipment
I have a tutorial video on how I dye plastics my man... im not taking in any new work but that is part of the reason I do these videos... show you guys how to do it yourself 💯 its actually super easy man and tge recipe for the dye bath id in the description... step by step everything you need 👍
@@johnscustomsaws okay great I found it amazing tutorial but I have another question do you think it is possible that I can dye my gas tanks for my weed eater and blower
@@JUSIAH12 some plastics will not take dye so I can't say for sure but its really uncommon that it wouldn't work... ive only ran into a couple plastics I couldn't dye and I still don't know for sure why they didn't accept the dye... my theory is they have a color fixative in them... but tu can try a small piece and test it... I dyed a stihl powerhead HT131 for a pole saw and it worked
Love !😊
I need one of these in my life. I just started climbing and a good top handle is at the top of my list.
Hahaha I love the "Poulan green" variant at 1:04
Can you get as much power out of a 201tc?
Can you buy a 200 that is all done off john
Sorry man I don't do them anymore but there is a 200t coming up that I am doing that is going to be auctioned off but its going to bring big money
@@johnscustomsaws would you help someone build one cause I have just started messing with porting
@@kennysnyder1686 I just can't right now I am crazy booked up... but thats why I make the tutorial videos... if you haven't seen "Guilty of Treeson" here on TH-cam I did a video with him and he filmed me literally every second of the way rebuilding/restoring/porting and assembling his 200t... I didn't keep anything secret and its crazy long but it will show u exactly what I would do... machining is the mos t important part of building a 200t... if you don't machine the base you will lose power!!! If u aren't going to machine the cylinder I would just do a gasket delete and thats it... dont touch the ports... there is an argument that its not even worth porting them and I can slightly agree...
@@johnscustomsaws I have seen your videos and your the reason I started porting love the videos keep up the good work
badass saw imagine how bad it could be if you knew what you were doing?
Knowing what you are doing is dangerous... thats why I make sure I'm completely clueless 🤷♂️
@@johnscustomsaws clearly lol
