Thank you for this video, after watching it i tore the 201tc back apart that I’ve been working on and found the same thing. I would have never thought to look for this if it wasn’t for you. So thank you again

Thank you thank you thank you!! lol. I have had a little 201tc driving me crazy not wanting to idle. I Frankensteined this saw from a couple different parts saws. One was the non top handle 201.  And I just learned that the little black baffle is clocked differently!!! Didn’t notice during the build, but this video led me to the solution which was swap it for the other one. Thanks again bro. Your a great mechanic

Holy cats! That's like having someone tell you there's food in your teeth and finding out there's a HAM stuck in there

There’s levels to this stuff. First, second first, and third first. Got it👍🏻

Who would have thought that a woodchip that big could be sucked up past the filter. Even not snapped down all the way. Nice catch Richard.

Gotta love those kinda "repairs"👍🏻

Theres something you don't see every day. Nice catch!

Good job

Important information. Thanks for posting.

Good work thank you Sir.

Nice Rich. Thanks for sharing...

That'll do it!

Great, practical video.  Would also make a nice, trick problem for an M-tronics class.

11:00 👍

Something I've discovered on my small tools, 435 Husky and like, as I don't do a huge amount out doors in winter time in the past, and I just pounced on an opportunity to clear some vegetation this winter when other tasks were out of the way until next spring. I'm seeing for the first time the change in weather, how it affects how tools run (some auto tuned, and some manually carb adjusted). It was noticeable too on my smaller 30cc-ish brushcutter tools as well as small power saws (and larger 40 to 50cc brushcutter tools that I only use for heavy work, as they are so fuel hungry). The larger brushcutters, saws etc run okay, albeit different than in warm, less moist climates. I've gone to a barely 1 to 50 mix or less on the '435' small saw tool today, and mixed a special can just for it. As the other large tools and brushcutters I'm running 1 to 40, with decent performance. I just found that these smaller engines in colder winter find it harder to burn off the oil, . . . and given the climate in winter, the small 40cc or smaller two stroke engines seem to benefit from additional gasoline to them, . . especially in things such as low jet idle running. I mean, the loss in horsepower in both the small chain saw and brushcutter was job-smacking (as both are reliable tools in normal milder weather). I've started to purchase the ethanol free 1 to 50 pre-mixed cans of fuel at tool store, for the small brushcutter as it's the tool I use least in winter, but it gets regular and consistent use in summer to tidy lawn verges etc. Hence why I've as much time on that tools as I have.

I've had the same problem with mine ordered a new fuel pump solenoid waiting for it to be delivered. Carb sitting on the bench just went out and pulled that black shroud off and like the video some crap Jammed there.. will put it back together see how it goes.. but a big thank you sir..

Great video.  Got to remember look at the small stuff.  The electronics can not adjust for no maintenance.  Did you learn on your own, or by schooling?   Combination?

Have you replaced a lot of the white solenoids? I've gone through the carb, tank, breater, new filters, new plug, gapped coil. Had one recalibration but the thing died right after the throttle part at the end and wouldn't restart easily. I've ohm'd out the wires, checked full articulation of the butterflies. Flushed out every hose. It will start and run but occasionally bog and fall on it's face near idle. O ring from carb to filter housing is good too. Shits driving me crazy😂 literally ordered complete carb, solenoid, coil and fuel lines (buddy works at dealer and they let him return stuff)

So which two-cycle oil do you recommend I've seen your demonstrations in you really not saying which brand is the best
