I think the least we can do is write a letter to Stihl and express our dissatisfaction. Anybody know where one might send said letter?

I paid $600 for my 201. I noticed the other day that the dealer had one on the shelf for $700. I paid $200 for the upgrade kit. So if you got one of the old ones you end up paying $800 or better whereas the same saw is $700 right out of the box....Not cool Stihl....Not cool at all. Not to...

This deal just gets weirder. I took it to my local Stihl dealer yesterday morning. They called me today and told me it was ready and the charge was $41. I asked what was wrong with it and they said that they really didn't know. I asked to speak directly to the mechanic that worked on it. He said...

I disconnected both wires on the coil and still no fire. I guess I'll take it to the shop tomorrow.

Hey thanks for the tips Magnus. I think when I first installed the new parts the coil and magnets were coming into contact with each other. That possibly damaged the new coil, but still doesn't explain why the old one stopped working because it never came in contact with the magnets.

I for sure don't have them backwards, but it could be a short. I'll try taking them off. Thanks for the advice guys.

Considering I've now got about $800 in mine and it's not even running that $900 200T doesn't look to bad.

The two wires that attach to the coil are good at the coil. They run into the handle at the switch and I can't see the connection there without taking the handle apart. I haven't done anything in the handle area so I don't see how they would have come loose.

That's what I thought. I just went out and did that and still no fire. That was with the old coil so I put the new coil on and gapped it and still no fire.

I don't think I gapped the coil. I'm not sure what that means, so yeah I'm pretty sure I didn't do that. I'm assuming you are referring to the distance between the coil and flywheel. I didn't know that there was supposed to be a set gap. Now that I think about it though that makes since...

Ok, I got the 201T upgrade kit which consists of a new carburetor, fly wheel, and ignition coil. I installed everything and it wouldn't crank. Checked the plug and it was getting no fire. Installed new plug...still no fire. I put the old coil bag on....no fire. I put the old flywheel back...
