Stihl 200T won't stay running

[jbolts]

I’ve had very few problems with AM crank seals. That’s mostly what I use in 200t. All daily users.

Farmertec or other?
Are there differences and any to avoid?

I think all mine have been FT, though they weren’t all packaged under that brand (just part of a cheapo gasket kit). They look like they came out of the same factory.

I use 026 seals in all of my 020T/200T builds with no issues at all.

Fly wheel side 026

Am or oem?

AM for me.

I've been getting them aftermarket with no issues

Same here

Same here with the seals but I had very shortcomings with bearings on a 200 I fixed up
So so short I won’t even look at them anymore.

Btw I’ve fitted 200t oem seals the wrong way round before You can’t get it wrong with the 026\260 seal

Yeah, I don’t use FT bearings.

My farmertec 200t bearings was sloppy after just a few hours cut time. Or maybe they were already lose to begin with.

I got I think oem bearings and a AM seal-kit, so far so good.
