I went to replace a cracked fuel line(562xp), and seem to have gotten a different hose delivered... Was supposed to receive a hose that looked like the one pictured below, but mine is shorter in the section that attaches to the carb. The seller says husky changed the part, and they are shorter...

Thanks! Will do, on the pressure test. I'll throw some seals (pn 9640 -003-1600) on order with some of the other missing parts

Hey y'all! Looking for an assortment of MS200T parts, such as the clutch cover (including brake assembly), top handle, carb, and muffler. The muffler being the least important, as I've got one, but the previous owner drilled a hole thru it when doing a muffler mod... Maybe even someone's got...

I'm green to the ms200/020t lineup, but recently picked up one that's almost a complete saw. A main piece it's missing is the carburetor, and I was trying to figure out what model carb is proper for my saw. Seems like there are a few options for this range, but mine is an 020T model. If anyone...

Thanks! Looking forward to hearing from you. I was referring to the top handle, as opposed to the tank/rear handle. This 440 has both a damaged aluminum top handle, and tank

Thanks! Yeah I figured I'd fish around here and see what used options pop up...but it'll likely lead to getting a clone tank + handle.

Howdy y'all! I'm looking for a Stihl MS440 044 fuel tank and aluminum handle, if anyone has one/both lying around!

Howdy! Lookin' for a 562mk1 muffler, and I don't really care much about the condition.

Replaced the fuel filter again, with a different style. This time the saw ran, idled, and revved. I went to start to tune the saw, but still seem to think there's a problem. At full throttle, the saw absolutely screams. I didn't bring out the tach, but it had to have been near the limit. So I...

Tried a new spark plug and have the same results. It pops and sometimes idles on full choke. When I bring it to half choke/WOT it takes off and dies. Sometimes it hangs onto idle, but any amount of throttle and it falls on it's face. Edit: Just tried again with a known working carb, and it...

Turns out I was wrong! Hah I assumed it was fixed, since it fired up, idled, and revved for 15 seconds or so, but it was too early in the morning to test. Brought the saw out again, and it seems to be doing the same problem. Barely starts, and dies with any throttle action. Might throw on a...

Looks like it was the coil. I swapped it for a white/silver one I had, and it fired right up! Are coils specific to flywheels on these saws? Is there a model/color of coil that performs best? Cheers!

Those are good ideas! However, I just tested them both, and they passed. Both the fuel line held pressure, and the tank vented vac properly. Back to the drawing board on this dolmar...

I'm having a heck of a time getting my 5100s running... It fires on choke, and on run (high idle) the saw starts and immediately dies. This makes me reckon it's fuel, or an air leak. So I rebuilt the carb, and tested it on my other 5100, where it was running fine. Then I do a pressure test which...

Ripper! Is it stock?
