What changed when Stihl made the 200t?

What's one worth, in your opinion?

Concerns about if it sat a while, besides old gas? Carb parts?

I have the rear handle version and have worked on quite a few. Top notch as far as I am concerned. Some minor differences, but basically a very similar saw to the 200, which might be slightly more powered. Not sure about the top handles, but the rear ones had both Walbro and Zama carbs on there, lucky to get a Walbro.

That looks like a nice saw, I'd grab it in a flash.



Might be one of the last going by the air filter cover, both mine are black so might have the later carb. Used my original one today Only use it on special jobs, it's still a little screamer cuts faster than my 200.

It's def a saw worth getting. My buddy has one, it seemed heavier than a 200 to me.

I did some carb work on it. There's a plastic tunnel that goes from the intake up to the front of the saw if I remember right. I thought that was strange...

If he ever sells it I'm definitely going to scoop it up.

I have both, the 020 is a bit heavier.
I had a two jet carb put on mine after I got it (second hand) don't know which one it is, but once I found the spark arrestor and pulled it out it has never missed a beat.
I've had it for 10 yrs as the second owner and its still going strong.

I also found that opening up the muffler passage pepped it up. Removed the screen and then some.

Bought a 020T new when they first came out...my first real climb saw....though they seem to be a cult item...I replaced several fuel pickup assemblies ...then sold it for a hundred bucks at about six years old...new owner still uses it loves it...
