Ha! Yeah, I know what you're saying. I'm forever having to clear up my workbench. Because my dayjob is in a smart computer job office, I periodically grab a bunch of old newspapers and take them home and whenever I need a clean surface in a hurry, I just sit a fresh sheet of newspaper down on the bench. Kinda works for a while til it gets covered in cr@p and then you've got to start all over.That's a towel Matt, organization is key.

You can also use those newspapers (or the old ones on the becnh) to start your wood burning stove in the morning. That's what I do. Just wrap them around a few small kindling sticks and light them with a match. Fabulous stove lighters.Ha! Yeah, I know what you're saying. I'm forever having to clear up my workbench.

What are you trying to do pull the whole impulse off or just check it?You can also use those newspapers (or the old ones on the becnh) to start your wood burning stove in the morning.

Let's see. We were talking about Stihl 200T chain saws having trouble. The one on my bench is still down. Getting to the impulse hose is a real PITA. Half the saw has to be taken down, including the dreaded top handle that's packed with complexity. It's even worse than the 025 and a few other Stihl saws.
With 200Ts I've found that you can short cut a few enquiries by removing 3 AV mount screws. The first is at the back of saw just from where the tuning screws adjust grommet, the second is at the front where the switch side of the TH joins the top of the engine case, and the third is at the front bottom where the side loop thing joins. When they are out you do get a lot more wiggle room.You can also use those newspapers (or the old ones on the becnh) to start your wood burning stove in the morning. That's what I do.

Not nearly as bad as the old 020AVP I just fixed. You have to pull most of the saw apart just to clean the carb!You can also use those newspapers (or the old ones on the becnh) to start your wood burning stove in the morning. That's what I do.

(Price on that one wolfie boy!)
So the zama S126B now with impulse outer drilled through to inner chamber, ran it up yesterday, put a tank of fuel through it and a tune. Works very nice now, in all aspects.
My next carb I wanna repair is this one is a china copy of a S32 (ms200T). It starts and runs WOT ok, but everything in between is rubbish.
Or switch the plates and try it before you file.
I see that a genuine S32 has 2 cutaways on its throttle plate:

however the china copy does not have these cutaways:

so I'm planning to fill similarly sized and appropriately positioned cutaways on the chinese bad boy, and then retest it.
Are there " holes" drilled in the carb to match the cut "outs " you are intending to file ? or just 1 hole/set of holes ?So the zama S126B now with impulse outer drilled through to inner chamber, ran it up yesterday, put a tank of fuel through it and a tune. Works very nice now, in all aspects.

Hi Simon,Are there " holes" drilled in the carb to match the cut "outs " you are intending to file ? or just 1 hole/set of holes ?
I'll let you know...My 126a cheapclinkycopy carb never had a cutout in the butter-flap. So I flopped it out an pushed it over a bit of angry cloth. But I think the angry cloth was a bit more angry than I thought, cos it took more of than I wanted.
I have not tested it yet, but your carb Matt gives me hope, I recon my one file away is equal to your two cut outs.
Im just thinking ....1 cut out filed, where there is a hole--set of holes only. I personally like to be able to keep a reverse default position (same as your I T stuff i guess) so i only change 1 thing at a time ...unless.. its tried and tested before. Have a study of this pic ......its from a Zama tech manual. Cut out/outs are not mentioned ...interesting don't you think.Hi Simon,
The cutout at about 12o'clock on the zama does have a single holes slightly downstream in the flow. If you now eyeball the copy you should able to see a similar hole at ~11o'clock but no corresponding cutout, so I'm planning to file out something similar at about 11o'clock on the copy's plate.
At 6o'clock there's a bigger cutout on the zama, I forget what this lines with exactly. I was in a hurry this evening......and anyway I'll probably take a few days chewing over how to attack the problem first. I'll try to take a better look at things tomorrow.....but any advice in the meantime would be great.

It was none of the above, as they say. I removed the carb and checked the diaphragms and the strainer. All looked OK. With my head shaking, I decided to try my age-old dirt cheap carb fix trick. Using an empty jar, I soaked the entire carb, submerged for 48 hours in mixed fuel, lid on jar.Impulse line off or loose?
Where are you having trouble putting the carb back on?It was none of the above, as they say. I removed the carb and checked the diaphragms and the strainer. All looked OK.

Then I simply reinstalled the carb (always a challenge), added fresh fuel, and adjusted all setscrew settings to MFG recommended. The engine now starts and runs perfectly. Case dismissed.
